A book is always judged by its cover.

People decide whether to trust you before they ever talk to you.If you look smaller than you are, that’s how they’ll treat you.

    What’s costing you trust?

    Before anyone books a call, they’ve already decided how established you are. That first impression sets how much they trust you, and how much they’re willing to pay.

    They need you. They just don’t reply.

    You know your service is good, and you know they need it. Before anyone replies, they look you up, and what they find doesn’t convince them that you can solve their problem.

    Your work has grown up. Your brand hasn’t.

    You’re ready for bigger clients, but your brand still looks like day one. Bigger clients choose partners who already look like they belong at their level.

    The fix: Brand identity

    Your best work isn’t on your website.

    Your case studies sit in old pitch decks, and the services page is three years out of date. Visitors leave with a much smaller picture of your business.

    The fix: Website design and build

    You can’t generate taste.

    Your brand looks like the last three they saw today. Anyone who uses AI knows exactly how it was made. Everyone else just feels like they’ve seen it before.

    Case study 02 Nomad Summit

    Nomad Summit

    From a website nobody touched to one that sells the tickets.

    A 250-person annual conference whose website broke every time someone tried to update it, so nobody did. Six weeks later the team could change tickets, speakers and sponsors themselves, and tickets for the next edition were selling before a single speaker was announced.

    • Mar Sabi Studio is the brand and web design practice of Alexandra Mosnitska. Most of my work is brand identities and websites, plus the marketing and social media assets around them. Since my focus is how credible your company looks, I’m happy to work on anything with design in it that reaches your customers: pitch decks, proposals, templates, email signatures. If a customer sees it, I can help make it better.

    • Maybe not for a full project. If you have no revenue yet, use the AI tools and ship something. Then book a one-hour consultation: I’ll review what you’ve made and tell you exactly what to improve first, so you can fix it yourself.

    • You can, and at the start that’s fine. AI gives you the best possible average of everything that already exists, and you can’t generate taste and judgment. Being remembered takes someone making the choices AI won’t.

    • Startups, both bootstrapped and venture-backed, growing small businesses and solo founders. Over seven years, Mar Sabi Studio has worked with companies from more than 10 countries, from bootstrapped startups like Remotive, Content Snare and Amber Engine (acquired by Material Bank) to VC-backed companies like cargo.one.

    • With me. I do most of the work myself and I’m your point of contact from the first call to handover. For bigger projects, I can bring in a designer I’ve worked with for years, and you’ll always know who’s on it.

    • Every project gets a fixed quote based on what you actually need. After our first call, I send a proposal with the scope, timeline and price, and we start with a 50% deposit. Ongoing design support runs on a monthly retainer.

    • We start small. Before anything gets built, you see a few key pieces first and give feedback while changes are still easy, so there’s no big reveal at the end. Fixed-price projects include an agreed number of revision rounds, and extra changes are always possible at an hourly rate.

    • Yes. Most sites I build are fully custom, with an admin panel designed around your team. Everything you need to edit is there, and nothing you don’t need gets in the way. I’ll walk you through it and record a short video so nobody has to remember. If you’d rather use Webflow or Framer, I build on those too.

    • Yes. I often work with brands that already exist, refining them so they hold up at the next stage. I’m just as used to working alongside in-house teams and developers as I am to working on my own.

    • Yes. Most of the work happens async, and I schedule calls around your hours. If something urgent comes up, like an event deadline, I’m flexible to support you.

    Tell me what you’re building.

    A brand that needs to catch up, a website, a pitch deck. Write a few lines about where you are and what you need, and I’ll reply personally.
