We aligned with their marketing plan through a strategic document that the team can use internally to communicate — from strategic decisions and navigation choices to tips for website copywriting.

We created wireframes to map a future-proof experience for visitors and built a design system based on their new brand language.

We built the website as a Static Site Generator with Next.js, integrating a headless Drupal CMS developed by our friends at Anvil. This approach provides the advantage of a user-friendly, low-maintenance platform with staggering site performance that allows the team to effectively communicate the complex life and legacy of Peter Paul Rubens.
