United Digital Corporation
A holding company site with no photographs anywhere, every piece of artwork animated from scratch.
The business
United Digital Corporation is a technology holding company in Los Angeles with four practice groups: engineering, AI and automation, growth and strategy, and brand and identity. Its site speaks to two audiences at once, clients and investors.
It had no photography and did not want any.
What it needed
The site had to build its own atmosphere out of type and animation, hold four practices to one standard, and put investor material behind a gate.
And every visit had to be measurable from the first day, because the company runs paid campaigns against it.

What we built
Eight pages with no images on them.
01
Artwork animated, not photographed
There were no photographs to use, so the atmosphere is animated instead. Every practice page opens dark and resolves into light as you scroll, which is the job a photograph would normally do. All four practices run on the same layout, so they read as one company.
02
A team page without portraits
Four people, their names and roles set large and divided by fine lines, over a band of company values. No headshots anywhere. It still carries the authority a team page is supposed to carry, which is usually the photographs' job.
03
Investor relations behind a code
The page renders redacted until unlocked. A visitor enters a name, the server checks it against a register, emails a one-time code, and issues a short-lived signed token. No accounts, no passwords, nothing stored in a browser beyond the session.
04
A contact page under a starfield
A canvas of stars, the channels, and a short form with a honeypot and a timing check, delivered by email. Underneath the whole site, one event layer sends page views to Meta's Conversions API, GA4, PostHog, and a database, with campaign attribution carried across the company's domains.
What changed
Institutional, investor-ready, built from scratch.
The site holds four practices to one standard, admits investors without a login, and reports every visit to four destinations at once. It shows what a build looks like when the typography has to do all the work.
