( ABOUT — THE STUDIO )
More than just a studio
Motions is the independent studio of Luke Hands — a web designer and creative director based in Liverpool, UK. The studio exists for one reason: to make brands that are experienced, felt and heard, through code and carefully crafted imagery.
It is deliberately small. One pair of hands carries a project from strategy to launch, which means nothing gets lost in translation between departments — the person who understood your brief is the person who designs, builds and optimises the work.
The disciplines — web design, SEO, graphics, brand direction and automation — are five angles on the same job: making a brand move, and making sure the world finds it.
The approach
Felt first
We design to be felt first, understood second, forgotten never. Motion is not decoration — it is how a brand breathes.
Two audiences
Search engines are an audience too. Every project is designed for the people who will love it and the crawlers who will rank it.
Zero bloat
Small studio by choice. You talk to the person doing the work — no account managers, no telephone games, no surprise juniors.
Automate the boring
The repetitive gets automated so the creative gets the hours it deserves — ours and yours.
The process
- /01
Listen
Every engagement starts with your goals, your audience and your market — not our portfolio.
- /02
Direct
A clear creative direction you approve early, so there are decisions instead of surprises.
- /03
Make
Design and build in parallel, shipped in working software rather than static decks.
- /04
Measure
Analytics, Search Console and honest reporting — the work is only done when it performs.
