House of Halsan connects queer individuals, organisations and brands, and consults with LGBTQ+ leaders to guide their organisational and comms strategies. As a seasoned, Queer fundraising and comms specialist with a rich history of collaboration with some of the world’s largest global brands and corporations, Cat Halsan brings a wealth of experience to her clients. We were glad to design and develop the original website for House of Halsan.

UX/UI Design: Cecilia Righini

Development: Lisa Komoltseva

The website’s colour scheme features warm coral and peach hues, creating a welcoming and vibrant atmosphere. In designing the website, accessibility was a key consideration for both our team and the client. We ensured the site was equipped with clear calls-to-action (CTAs), buttons, and carousels to facilitate easy navigation and present information in a digestible way.

The logo typography and layout of the website subtly recall classic print media, adding a layer of sophistication and reflecting Cat’s communications expertise. The main title font, PP Migra, is reminiscent of the bold display fonts used in magazine headings, drawing inspiration from 19th-century advertising posters. These design choices additionally reference drag ball culture, which the name ‘House of Halsan’ also refers.

The House of Halsan website boasts a clean, uncomplicated, and modular layout. This structure, characterised by its repetitive blocks, enhances user experience (UX) and interface (UI) accessibility, ensuring that the site’s layout is intuitively navigable across different screen sizes. Consistent with our commitment to responsive design, this approach guarantees that the House of Halsan website is usable and visually appealing across all screens.

To further support accessibility, all textual content, with the exception of the branded titles ‘House of Halsan’, is set in the legible, sans-serif font DM Sans, chosen for its readability across various sizes and contexts.

I want to extend immense gratitude and admiration to Cecilia and the remarkable team at Studio Lutalica. This marks my second collaboration with them, and once again, they’ve empowered me to breathe life into my ideas and transform thoughts into a platform I’m super proud of.
