Branded marketing collateral
Shortly after launching, we received M&A interest from several companies, so the website became the perfect landing page for anyone doing due diligence. Alex transformed our confusing site into one that clearly communicated our value. He was organized, thoughtful, and technically precise, and the Webflow build was flawless.
Many agencies I’ve worked with in the past required hand-holding and extensive feedback, but not Alex. He had a clear vision and was proactive from day one, going above and beyond to build a cohesive brand and website for our highly technical product. From the beginning, I could trust that we were in great hands.
Our website turned out amazing, and we've seen a significant boost in leads. Throughout the process, Alex is patient, kind, helpful, and easy to communicate with, so working with him feels natural. If you're looking for a dynamic and attention-getting way to showcase your product, look no further!
The rebrand and new website are incredibly impactful and truly reflect who we are. Alex and his team translated what we do into a genuine masterpiece! We’ve received so many compliments from visitors at events. Hire Alex for any strategic design work!
From identity design, to web design and web development: at every stage we worked hand in hand until we developed an amazing brand and website. Honestly, I have worked with other agencies before, but from this point forward I have ONE stop!
Working with Alex is always a pleasure. His skill, passion, and attention to detail are evident throughout the process, he's extremely thorough, clearly understanding our business and customers, ultimately helping us build the tools to make a difference in the world.
Three Convictions
You can't read the label from the inside
Your team knows the product too well to sell it. This is a perspective problem, and perspective only comes from outside.
A dated website is a technical judgment
A website that looks like 2019 reads as 2019 architecture. Fair or not, your brand is your tech's first benchmark.
Positioning is product strategy
It sharpens the roadmap, tells you which features matter, and gives every team one source of truth.
A FOUNDER-LED DIGITAL STUDIO
Strategy first, delivery to match
Hi, I am Alex Hartan!
For more than a decade, I've worked with everyone from scrappy startups to large companies, and kept seeing a familiar pattern. The brands that won weren't always the ones with the superior product, but the ones whose value was impossible to miss.
Now I'm distilling those lessons into a process that uncovers your product's untapped edge and builds the brand around it.

FAQ
Can’t find your question in this list?
Reach out and we'll answer within two working days.
What kind of companies do you work with?
I normally partner with Data and AI startups (Seed to Series A) that have an excellent product, but whose branding and marketing are holding them back. What brought them this far no longer works, and they're ready to align their brand and web presence with their product's reality and ambitions.
What's the typical price range?
Who will I actually be working with?
You'll work directly with me, Alex. I'm the creative lead on every Galvanite project and your single point of contact start to finish. For production I bring in vetted specialists matched to your project, while the strategy, design direction, and accountability stay with one senior person: me.
What happens after we launch?
Will this process be time consuming?
Your time goes where it matters most: the strategy workshop and weekly check-ins, roughly 4-6 hours across the engagement. That's where your product knowledge shapes the work.
Will my team be able to make updates?
Absolutely. The CMS Editor lets your team make timely updates safely. At the end of the project you'll receive a dedicated training video walking through the Editor, so anyone on your team can manage content with confidence.
Can you help us with brand strategy and positioning?
Yes. I offer strategic support to refine your positioning and develop a comprehensive Brand Strategy Roadmap: a foundation for all your future marketing.
Check out the case studies to see it in action.
Do you offer brand identity, or logo design?
Absolutely. Your brand will come to life with a custom logo and a complete identity system, to complement your messaging. It's available as an optional upgrade.

Can you migrate my website from WordPress or Squarespace?
Yes, this kind of migration is quite common. Your URL structure will remain intact to preserve your traffic and search rankings.
