A Distinct Architecture Website Expressing Rekha Sutra’s Vision
A custom-built, black-and-gold architecture website for Rekha Sutra, engineered for luxury, and 99–100 PageSpeed performance across devices.
1. Project Overview
Rekha Sutra is an architectural and interior design studio that focuses on creating connected, purposeful spaces through thoughtful planning and modern design principles. They wanted a website that reflects the studio’s aesthetic direction — bold, structured, contemporary — while preserving a sense of warmth, luxury, and storytelling.
Faeb built a custom WordPress website using a dark-and-gold visual identity (Black #000000 paired with Gold #FFE168) to evoke elegance, precision, and a premium architectural feel. Using Geist typography, clean grids, and high-performance engineering, the site blends visual depth with exceptional speed and clarity.
The result is a modern, stable, and immersive portfolio-style website that showcases Rekha Sutra’s architectural expertise with intention.
2. Client Goals
Rekha Sutra wanted:
- A dark, luxury-inspired website that aligns with their architectural identity
- A clean layout using black (#000000) and gold (#FFE168) for a premium tone
- A portfolio structure that highlights their work across categories
- A minimal navigation system that supports clarity
- A strong “About” section that communicates credibility
- Detailed services with structured explanations
- A modern testimonial section for trust
- Fast loading across all devices
- A custom-built interface, not a template
Core requirement: the website must feel premium, structured, and performance-driven.
3. Our Approach
We designed Rekha Sutra’s website as a dark, architectural canvas enhanced with gold accents to reflect luxury and precision.
Key decisions included:
- A bold black + gold visual palette
- Geist as the primary font for modern, geometric clarity
- A structured grid and clear hierarchy
- Category-first portfolio thumbnails
- Minimal navigation with sharp alignment
- Consistent spacing and clean visual rhythm
- Subtle transitions without distractions
- Lightweight build using WordPress + custom CSS framework
Homepage Layout Logic:
- Hero → Expertise → About → Services → Process → Testimonials → FAQ → Contact → Footer
- Every section was designed to feel intentional and visually connected.
