AWARDS / NOMINATIONS
We’ve picked up a few branding and web design awards along the way. Not that we do it for the trophies, but it’s always a nice reminder that the work we create at Olya Black is being recognised not just by our clients, but by the professional design community too.
We’re not here to brag about how many websites we've built or how many awards we've racked up. It's not about the numbers. Quality is king, and you can't achieve that by chasing quantity. So, we flipped the script. We take on fewer projects, giving each one full attention, pouring all our creativity, skills, and energy into creating something truly special.

BRANDING
Is It Time to Rebrand?
I’ve never used my own name before to piggyback on the Black Friday marketing mega-frenzy! What I do isn’t mass market and slashing prices doesn’t feel right (or responsible.)
I’ve decided to give back in a different way: I’m offering free consultations every Friday until the end of the year. If you’re considering your brand or web presence and want to share ideas and discuss strategies, feel free to book a session.
Building a website typically takes 5–8 weeks. We don’t rush the process because we believe in doing it right. We start with a solid brand strategy before any building begins. The timeline can vary based on the complexity of the project, the readiness of your content, and your involvement. We exclusively use Wix Studio for its creative freedom, which requires more time but results in a superior product.
A brand strategy is the blueprint that defines your business’s identity, ensuring that everything—from visuals to messaging—works together seamlessly. It’s more than just a logo or color scheme; it’s about crafting a vision that reflects your goals and resonates with your audience. At Olya Black Studio, we believe a strong brand strategy is key to building a unified presence, standing out, building trust, and achieving long-term success.
All the foundational elements that define your brand’s look, feel, and communication. This includes:- Visual Brand Strategy & Guidelines: Ensures consistency across all touch points.- Logo Design & Usage Options: Flexible designs for various formats.- Typography: Font pairings and guidelines for readability and brand alignment.- Colour Scheme: Curated colours reflecting your brand’s essence.- Stationery & Business Collateral: Tailored items like letterheads and business cards.- Application: Examples of branding on business-specific items.- Social Media Branding: On-brand social profile examples and visuals.This strategy ensures every design and communication piece aligns with your core values and vision, creating a cohesive and professional brand identity.
We don’t believe in throwing multiple design options at the wall to see what sticks.
Instead, we channel all our energy into crafting one bold, strategic concept—rooted in insight, discovery, and research, and built to help your brand stand out for all the right reasons.
By going all in on a single, purposeful direction, we create something authentic, memorable, and made to last.
It’s not about having more to choose from, it’s about getting it right.
We always work on a limited number of projects at one time, our clients receive focused attention from the entire team, ensuring that your project is treated with priority and care. This means we can't start a new project until we’ve fully dedicated ourselves to completing our current commitments, guaranteeing the same level of attention and quality for every client.
However, it’s worth checking in, as we might be wrapping up a project soon or planning our next availability.
Yes, we work extensively with existing businesses, helping them evolve their brands and bring new life to their identities. Rebranding goes beyond simple updates—it’s about redefining how your business presents itself to align with your goals and connect with your audience in a meaningful way.
If you have a professional logo that holds deep significance for your business and wish to keep it, we can build on that foundation. With a carefully crafted brand book and guidelines, we’ll ensure your brand feels cohesive, strategic, and ready for the future.
Brand development usually takes 3-4 weeks, depending on the project's complexity. During this period, we thoroughly understand your business, audience, and goals to create a brand identity that truly reflects your vision. This involves strategic planning, designing core brand elements, and refining visual and messaging guidelines. We prioritise quality over speed, ensuring every detail is thoughtfully crafted for long-term success.
We need to have a chat to see where are you at and what exactly you are looking for. After the consultation you will receive a detailed proposal, with the scope, timeline and all other details.
Working with clients across different time zones is part of our routine. Our team is spread across various time zones, making it seem like we’re working around the clock. This setup ensures that your project moves forward efficiently, no matter where you are located.
The one and only. Our single-concept approach means we dedicate all our creativity, skills, and energy into crafting one standout design concept for each project. This ensures that every brand we create authentically embodies its essence and aligns perfectly with your vision. We believe in delivering a solution that’s not just an option, but the right fit for your business.
We’ve never had that happen so far! Our process is built on a deep understanding of your brand and vision, ensuring the concept we present is aligned with exactly what you need. However, if it’s not quite right, we’ll work closely with you to refine and perfect it until it is. We don’t just want you to like it—we want to prove that it’s the perfect fit for your business.
We believe it’s a powerful tool. When used well, it can speed things up, help structure a mess of ideas, or even spark fresh directions in a brainstorm. There are plenty of incredible AI tools out there, and we’re not blind to the tech revolution. We use them too.
But tools don’t make the work great.
Strategy does. Experience does. Taste, instinct, clarity—and the guts to challenge the obvious. That’s what actually makes a brand unforgettable.
Naming is not included in our standard process, but we often assist with renaming or naming if needed. If this is something you'd like help with, we’d be happy to discuss it and provide our expertise. Please note that this service comes with an additional cost, as it requires dedicated time and creative input to ensure we find the perfect name for your brand.
We don’t! :) Tight deadlines and slim budgets aren’t really our thing.
We believe that creating something exceptional takes time and a little breathing room. While we work efficiently and love quick turnarounds, we also understand that quality can’t be rushed.
If you're after magic tricks under tight constraints, we might not be the right fit. But if you're looking for a team dedicated to bringing your brand to the competitive business arena with the care and attention it deserves, we're ready to make it happen!
Design isn’t just what we do, it’s who we are. As judges on various branding and web design professional platforms, we get a front-row seat to the freshest trends and innovations. We’re also constantly chatting with other designers and industry pros, swapping ideas and staying sharp.
We regularly review standout work from global studios, test new tools and attend industry events. But most importantly, we stay close to what matters—understanding what people actually feel when they land on a brand. Trends come and go, but clarity, originality, and connection never go out of style.
Trademark registration is not included in our standard services, as it’s a separate, more complex process. However, we strongly encourage all our clients to trademark their brands, and we work with trusted specialists who can guide you through the entire process. This service is available upon request and would be discussed and charged separately.
Over the past decade, we’ve worked across a wide range of industries. While we’ve spent a lot of time in sectors like food and restaurants, beauty, health and wellness, mental health, and the arts, we’ve also taken on complex, technical projects from robotics and construction to electric vehicle charging stations and beyond. We’ve pretty much seen it all.
Our approach isn’t about specialising in one particular industry. It’s about creating something unique and meaningful for businesses that want to stand out. Whether you’re a beauty clinic or a tech company, our focus is on helping you carve out your own space in a crowded market.
Each project is an opportunity for us to learn and evolve, and we love the variety that comes with working across different industries. So, no matter how niche or complex your business, we're excited to dive in and create something exceptional.
We don’t do cookie-cutter. No templates, no recycled ideas, no playing it safe. We dive deep into brand strategy before we even touch design.
We expect a high level of trust from our clients. We might challenge your vision or offer a direction you hadn’t considered. Not to be difficult, but to make sure the outcome is stronger, clearer, and more aligned with your long-term goals.
We have a single-concept approach to design, we pour all our creativity, skills, and energy into crafting one standout concept for each project (based on research, insights and deep understanding of branding principals).
We usually stick to a 50/50 payment plan, but we’re flexible and happy to chat about a custom installment plan that works for you.
We require a non-refundable deposit before kicking off any project. The rest is due when we wrap up the project, right before your website goes live!
We accept various payment methods, including credit cards and bank transfers, to make it convenient for you.
We are ready to tell your story!
