Bough Studio

Bough Studio is an independent design firm located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. We collaborate with forward-thinking brands to enhance their visual identity, messaging, and online discoverability, especially in the realm of AI-driven search. Our expertise is divided into three interrelated areas: **Brand Strategy & Identity**: We assist businesses in articulating their core values and translating these into visual systems that are consistently applied across all platforms and sizes. Our methodology is influenced by mid-century design principles, emphasizing clarity and structure, and prioritizing timelessness over fleeting trends. **Framer Development**: We create high-performance websites using Framer, which is fast, adaptable, and user-friendly for clients. Whether it's for marketing initiatives or portfolio displays, we apply the same meticulousness in development as we do in design. Each project is optimized for performance, not just aesthetics. **Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)**: With the evolution of AI-driven search affecting brand discovery, we help our clients maintain visibility and authority in this new environment. We utilize structured data, llms.txt frameworks, and a strategic content architecture to ensure your brand is referenced, not merely indexed. As a small studio, you interact directly with the individual executing your project—there are no account managers to mediate, ensuring a clear and focused approach to your specific needs. With over 20 years of combined experience in branding, digital design, and the outdoor and active lifestyle sectors, we bring both skill and commercial insight to every project. If you’re interested in a studio that considers the long-term implications for your brand, web presence, and future developments, we would love to connect.
