Kawalec, wędki na zamówienie

Poland's oldest handmade fishing-rod workshop, running since 1973. The site reads like a craftsman's catalogue with one path to a quote.

What the site had to do

The workshop has run since 1973 and lived off word of mouth and the phone for half a century. Every rod is built for one angler, so the site was never meant to sell off the shelf. It had to do what a conversation in the workshop does: show that the rod is built around the customer's hand and technique, and lead to a quote.

What we did, and why this way

  1. 1

    A craftsman's catalogue, not a shop

    No basket, no unit prices: a made-to-order rod has no shelf price. Instead one path: a conversation, design and quote, the hand build, collection. The customer knows what they're signing up for before they write.

  2. 2

    Typography doing the branding

    A serif face, cream paper and captions set like an old field guide. There was no budget for a photo shoot, so the character comes from the layout rather than stock photos.

  3. 3

    Work instead of promises

    A page of finished rods and the technique each was built for. An angler buys work they can see, not a slogan about quality.
