Celina Visions — Creative Studio Website

Overview

Celina Visions is a creative studio in Damascus, Syria, founded in 2020 by Celina Hajjeh. It works on brand identity, logo design, social media strategy, art direction and invitation design. Its clients are restaurants, cafés, retail spaces, clinics and product brands. Gnolex designed and built the studio's website and the content management system behind it. The site reflects the studio's line "Beyond what meets the eye".

What we built

• Editorial home page: a split hero with a monochrome founder portrait, floating "Projects Done" and "Happy Clients" counters, and a serif headline. Below it are an animated band of disciplines, a stats row, a two-way logo marquee of client brands, an about section, the studio's process (Discover, Strategize, Create, Launch) and a closing call to action.
• Services catalogue: service pages grouped by category (Branding, Logo Services, Social Media Management, Invitations & Cards). Each shows a fixed price or "Custom Quote" and has its own "Book Now" or quote request flow.
• Booking and quotations: service booking with time slots, a check for existing bookings, and quote request forms. Admins manage quotations and orders from the dashboard, where they can convert, print, email or export them.
• Transparent pricing: package cards that range from Logo Essentials to an all-in-one Golden Package. Feature lists expand and collapse, and each plan has its own request form.
• Creative portfolio: a project grid filtered by category, such as Visual Identity Design and Social Media. Each project has its own page with a full-bleed cover, breadcrumbs and project details.
• Client reviews: a testimonials section on the home page. Clients leave reviews through private links, and admins can reply.
• Journal: a blog with categories for studio news and articles.
• Admin dashboard: manages services, products, portfolio, blog, the media gallery, pricing plans, client logos, partners, reviews, SEO, analytics, marketing, user roles and theme colours. It also includes an AI assistant module with configuration and a knowledge base.
• SEO built in: an automatic sitemap.xml and robots.txt, schema.org Organization markup, Open Graph tags, and SEO fields on every content type.

Design approach

The site uses a luxury black-and-silver palette with a soft rose accent, which matches the studio's own identity. Headlines are set in Playfair Display, including italic accents such as "good", and body text is in Inter. A faint grid sits behind the content. Details include silver gradient buttons with a shine sweep, glass-style stat cards, orbit rings with glowing dots around the logo, and a custom cursor on desktop. Sections fade and slide into view as visitors scroll. The navigation turns light once the visitor scrolls past the hero. On mobile, every section restacks into a single column so the editorial feel holds at phone width.
