Lumen&Form Request your preview

About

One person. Fewer promises. More proof.

I’m Mark Kalenchik, the person behind Lumen&Form. I build websites for small businesses and personal brands.

I prefer showing you the work to asking you to imagine it from a written pitch. You’ll deal directly with me, with the scope, changes and payment terms agreed in writing.

How the studio works

Three things I hold to.

  1. 01

    An independent studio.

    Lumen&Form is me. No account managers, no hand-offs, no junior team learning on your project. The person you write to is the person who designs and builds your site.

  2. 02

    Show the work first.

    A written pitch asks you to trust a description. A working preview lets you judge the real thing, on your own phone, before you commit. For One page and Business websites, that’s how every project starts.

  3. 03

    Clear design, practical delivery.

    Distinctive typography and imagery, but always in service of a useful structure: what you do, why it matters, how to get in touch. Then a straightforward launch on your own domain, with the files in your hands.

Evidence, not adjectives

The work speaks more clearly.

Four self-initiated concepts for fictional brands, each a complete website. They’re here so you can judge the craft for yourself.

The next step

Good design becomes obvious when you can see it.
