Websites
Fast, responsive sites with an actual idea behind them. Very few gradients wearing a startup costume.
Independent creative + technical studioCosta Blanca / Operational
ECSTA.SI
Work with
side effects.
Websites, identities, campaigns and useful experiments for people who find “professional but approachable” deeply upsetting.
Bad ideas.
Now shareable.
A small machine for generating concepts that should probably have remained thoughts. A surprisingly competitive category.
LIVE / MILDLY UNSTABLE
Bad Idea Generator
Generate a questionable product and send it to someone whose afternoon has been going too smoothly.
ECSTA.SI / 001A luxury brand for aggressively average objects.
Things that escaped the workshop.
Projects where design, code and an unhealthy refusal to leave things alone became something useful.
Project 001
Mr Move
A removals company rebuilt without the usual stock photograph of a grinning man emotionally attached to a cardboard box.
Project 002
S1 Forge
A laser workflow assistant for turning images into material-ready jobs, because remembering hundreds of settings is apparently a hobby.
Project 003
Auction Intelligence
Thousands of auction lots converted into rankings, signals and actual decisions. Better than scrolling until your soul leaves the room.
Things we reluctantly do well.
The useful bit, for anyone still pretending this is a sensible business decision.
Brand systems
Names, identities and enough consistency to stop everyone improvising with Arial.
Campaigns
Concepts and launches that attract attention without standing in the road shouting.
Experiments
Interactive tools, prototypes and ideas that do not yet have a respectable category.
Some of this
is useful.
The rest is research, which is the professional term for making strange things until one earns money.
Tool 01
Poster Violence Machine
Turn a title into an ECSTA.SI poster before good taste files an objection.
Use tool → Tool 02Bad Idea Generator
Controlled nonsense with enough structure to become somebody’s startup.
Use tool → Tool 03Brief Translator
Converts “make it pop” into something a designer can use without entering witness protection.
Use tool →Four stages.
Very few meetings.
Enough structure to avoid chaos. Enough room to discover the idea that was not in the original document named FINAL_BRIEF_V7.
Find the actual problem.
Audience, desired action, constraints and the thing everyone has politely avoided saying.
Choose one strong idea.
A visual and verbal direction capable of surviving more than one homepage screenshot.
Make the useful version.
Prototype early, test the awkward parts and remove decorative machinery that serves nobody.
Launch, learn, interfere.
Ship the real thing, watch how humans misuse it and improve what evidence says matters.
Small studio.
Large ideas.
Questionable supervision.
ECSTA.SI is an independent creative and technical studio on the Costa Blanca. We build distinctive, functional things that would probably die during a conventional agency meeting.

Bring the problem.
Bring the problem.
We will bring opinions.
