17 years. Same pencil.
We are designers, developers and marketers who still start every project with a pencil. It keeps us honest: if an idea doesn't work as a sketch, it won't work as a website.
The sketchbook we started with
In 2011 we built our first website out of pencil drawings: a hummingbird, a dandelion, a herd of zebra-bodied centaurs, each one half-sketch, half-photograph. Today a winged horse has taken the herd's place. The idea still describes what we do better than any slogan: we draw it first, then we make it real.
See the 2011 site on BehanceHow we got here
- 2009
WeLoveIt opens in Colombo as a small design studio.
- 2011
Our first website is drawn by hand: pencil sketches turning into photographs. It is still our favourite idea.
- Today
Teams in Colombo and New York, more than 500 brands, and WLI for our international clients at wli.digital.
The people
Team portraits are on their way. In true WeLoveIt style, they will be photographs set inside pencil-drawn scenes.
How a project moves
Sketch
Workshops, research and a strategy on a page. We agree what success looks like before anything is designed.
Design
Identity, wireframes and interface design, refined with you in short, visible rounds.
Build
Engineering for speed, security and search, with an editor your team can actually use.
Grow
Campaigns, SEO and monthly reporting, so the work keeps paying for itself after launch.
The next page is yours.
Tell us the idea. We will come back with honest advice and a first sketch of where it could go. The first conversation is free.
