Vesi Website Redesign

We started by reviewing the Vesi story in the detailed deck along with a set of website references provided by the Vesi team as well as our own research.

Color Palette & Typography: Grounded in Place and Purpose

The Vesi visual identity is built on a warm, earthy palette designed to bridge historic architecture with modern, human-centered permanence.

  • Warm Parchment Cream (#FFEFEO): Acts as a soft, luminous canvas that evokes traditional lime-washed plaster and natural building materials, replacing the stark, sterile white of conventional web design with organic warmth.

  • Carbon Black (#222222): Used for typography and structural contrast, providing crisp, high-end editorial legibility inspired by classic print design and fine publishing.

  • Muted Olive Green (#556B2F): Directly reflects the tactile elements of the built environment reflected in the natural materials of sustainable interior design.

  • Bright Institutional Blue (#015482): Represents institutional rigor, reliability, and security, anchoring the trust's multi-entity framework and financial governance.

  • Terracotta (#CC7722): Directly reflects the tactile elements of the built environment reflected in the restored brickwork of properties like 27 Perdicaris Place.

Together, these tones create an immersive editorial experience that feels both deeply rooted in local history and structurally sound for the future.

Font Pairing

  • Merriweather for Headings: Because Merriweather has that sturdy, literary, high-end editorial presence, your section titles will immediately feel like features in an architectural monograph or a high-end cultural magazine. It bridges the organic warmth of the serif with the high-contrast elegance of your Xillian wordmark.

  • DM Sans for Body Copy: DM Sans is a low-contrast geometric sans-serif that feels modern, approachable, clean, and warm. It renders beautifully on screens at smaller sizes, making dense paragraphs (like your governance and financial models) effortlessly readable without losing that sophisticated design edge.
