Overview
Stone Art Works is one of the longest-running artificial rock companies in Cyprus. Since 1990, the team has designed and hand-sculpted pools and waterfalls, caves, themed bars and sculptures for homes, hotels and attractions. Their work is striking, but their old website didn't show it off.
A brand that holds up
The logo only existed as a small image, so we redrew it to look sharp at any size, and made a new icon for browser tabs and phone home screens. The design takes its cues from the work itself: warm stone colours, the bronze from the logo, elegant headlines and soft, rounded shapes.
A gallery that does the work justice
We went through all 214 photos, set aside the near-duplicates, and sorted the rest into categories like pools and waterfalls, caves, venues and sculptures, each with a short description. Visitors can start with a selection of highlights, filter by the kind of project they have in mind, and open any photo full screen.
English, Greek and Russian
The whole site is available in all three languages, from the photo descriptions to the contact form and the emails it sends, so every customer can read about the work in the language they're most comfortable with.

Every enquiry gets a reply
When someone asks for an estimate, they get a confirmation straight away, in their own language. The owner gets the details too, with one-tap buttons to reply or call. Spam is filtered out quietly, without puzzles for visitors to solve.
Outcome
Stone Art Works now has a site that loads quickly on any phone, shows three decades of work at its best, and makes it easy to ask for an estimate. Old links from Google still work, and with no server to look after, it costs next to nothing to run.
