I worked with Vista Labels to create a bold, more distinctive website that better reflects the precision of their print work, rethinking the previous site with a stronger visual direction and clearer structure to showcase their capabilities. The design leans into print-inspired details, using linework and layered sticker elements to introduce depth and a more tactile feel, while a streamlined layout and improved hierarchy help guide users through the content more effectively. Built using a Jamstack approach, the new site is fast, reliable, and visually confident, giving Vista Labels a digital presence that feels as considered as the products they produce.
The Challenge
Label printing is a crowded category, and one where a lot of the websites look more or less the same. Stock imagery, a quote form, a list of materials and finishes. Nothing wrong with any of it, but nothing that tells you why you would choose one supplier over another.
That is a real problem for a business whose entire value sits in the quality of what they produce. Vista's work is precise and tactile, and print is a physical medium that people judge by how it feels in the hand. A flat, generic website actively undersells that.
The previous site was doing a reasonable job of listing capabilities. It was not doing much to suggest the standard of the printing behind them.
The Approach
The design borrows from the medium itself. Linework and layered sticker elements run through the site, giving pages a sense of depth and something closer to a physical, tactile quality than a standard flat layout would.
The point was never decoration for its own sake. It is an attempt to give a visitor some feeling for the craft involved before they have seen a single product in person, which is the hardest thing to do when you are selling something physical through a screen.
Underneath the personality, the structure got noticeably stricter. Hierarchy was tightened and the layout streamlined so that a more characterful design does not come at the cost of finding things. Built on a Jamstack setup, the site stays fast despite carrying more visual detail than most in the sector.
The Result
Vista Labels now have a site that looks like the work they produce rather than like every other printer in the category.
It is distinctive without being difficult, quick to load, and considerably clearer to navigate than the site it replaced. For a business competing on quality, looking like you care about quality is not a small thing.
