An outward presence.
An inward standard.
Bespoke institutional identity, refined websites and secure client portals for firms whose digital presence must reflect the trust they hold.
Institutional presence.
Your public presence should explain your firm clearly and reflect its standards quietly. We bring identity, language and web design together in a considered institutional experience.
Behind the public website, a client or investor portal serves a very different purpose. We specify it as a separate authenticated environment, with defined access to documents and an architecture appropriate to the information involved.
A distinctive identity.
A coherent visual identity, typography and tone of voice. Precise positioning and restrained design communicate the nature of your practice without borrowed prestige or unnecessary spectacle.
An efficient public website.
A bespoke, accessible website with local assets, fast delivery and a deliberately small dependency footprint. Third-party analytics, tracking and integrations are included only when there is an agreed purpose.
A separate client space.
An authenticated portal with permissions per client, investor or mandate. Encryption, MFA, document access records, account expiry and operational controls are specified to match the sensitivity of the material.
An illustrative workflow
One identity. Clearly separated spaces.
A private firm presents a concise public overview of its expertise. Existing clients enter a separate authenticated space to access the documents assigned to their mandate. Public content never requires access to the confidential archive, and a portal user cannot browse another client’s records.
A clear boundary.
Hosting location, provider jurisdiction and operational access are separate decisions. We assess jurisdiction and hosting requirements for each client project. This Desgarde public website uses Cloudflare’s global network and is separate from any client deployment.
