For every company, sooner or later there comes a time when DIY site just doesn’t cut it anymore. For Startup Sauna, a website with customized visuals and a versatile functions was an indisputable objective. User tracking as well as marketing of numerous events and optimizing content by user’s interests were important reforms for the new site.
"Working with Kokku was a pleasure. They took into consideration all of our requests and turned our ambiguous ideas into an actual design we like."
While designing the website for Startup Sauna, we realized the brand was in need of a new logo to better represent their vision and values. After interviewing the sauna team, and a few rounds of iterations, we ended up with keeping the old wordmark and just replacing the old emblem with a new flame emblem. We all agreed that fire was the perfect element to depict Startup Sauna as an accelerator – they make you sweat but in the end you come out stronger. Also the traditional Finnish sauna is heated by fire🔥🔥🔥.
