Clear ideas.
Curious details.
Websites with character.

An independent practice by Mert Aker, working across design, Framer and custom code. Exploring how a clear layout, a useful interaction or a small tool can make everyday things feel better.

One curious mind.
Design and development together.
From first sketch to final detail.

01

Web design

Direction · Layout · Identity+

A clear structure, typography with personality and room for your content to breathe. A website shaped around what you want to say.

02

Development

Framer · Custom code · Responsive+

Bringing the design into Framer or custom code, with responsive layouts and details that hold together across screens.

03

Interaction & tools

Motion · Components · Plugins+

Responsive details, playful motion and small tools born from everyday use. Each one starts with a simple question: could this feel better?

From the first frame
to the final interaction.

03 / HOW IT WORKSA conversation is a good place to start.

A good idea.
Then, a way forward.

Talk it through.

Bring an idea, a reference or a problem worth solving. The first conversation gives the work a direction.

Make it tangible.

Start with a layout, test the feeling and refine it together. Decisions become easier when there’s something to try.

Put it out there.

Connect the design and code, check the details across screens and give the idea a place on the web.
