The Challenge
Good Trade Productions came into this project with an existing website and a strong visual mascot, Henrietta. But beyond the mascot, they didnβt have a full brand identity β and their site didnβt reflect the level of work they were producing or the space they were carving out in the industry.
They needed a website that could stand alongside major production companies while still staying true to their Indigenous identity and community roots.
What We Did
We approached this as a brand refinement and website redesign project. The goal was to keep the personality and story that made them unique, while elevating their digital presence to compete with other high-end production companies.
Hereβs what we focused on:
Refined their visual identity with a modified logo, new type system, and a cleaned-up version of Henrietta the mascot
Designed a sleek, black-and-white website that feels sharp and contemporary, while keeping brand elements like orange highlights and original photography to ground it in their voice
Built the site on Squarespace but pushed far beyond the template using advanced custom code
Integrated 14 unique font styles, multiple custom animations and hover states
Streamlined copy across the site to feel bold and efficient without losing warmth
Created a booking page using Acuity so clients can purchase and schedule consults directly through the site
The final site is intuitive to navigate and filled with subtle design details that set it apart. It balances polish and personality, offering a smooth user experience that doesnβt sacrifice the brandβs originality.
