Case Study: Xanto

Brisbane beach brand design

Branding and Shopify Website for a Brisbane Beach Brand

Xanto is a Brisbane based beach brand created to capture the relaxed lifestyle of Australia’s coastline. As a new brand entering the market, Xanto needed a complete brand identity and an ecommerce website that would feel authentic, memorable, and ready to grow.

The goal was to create a brand that felt fresh, coastal, and effortless while building a Shopify website designed to showcase products clearly and provide a smooth shopping experience.

The Challenge

Launching a new ecommerce brand requires a cohesive identity and a website that feels professional from the beginning, and encourages customers to convert.

For Xanto, the priorities were clear:

• Develop a distinctive brand identity for a new beach lifestyle brand
• Create a Shopify website that feels easy to navigate and shop
• Ensure the brand feels authentic to the coastal lifestyle it represents
• Build a strong foundation for future growth

The brand needed to feel relaxed and natural while still standing out in a competitive ecommerce space.

Our Approach

The project began with the development of a brand identity that reflects the laid back lifestyle associated with beach culture. The branding focused on simplicity, warmth, and a contemporary aesthetic.

The project included:

  • Brand identity design

  • Logo design and brand system

  • Colour palette and typography

  • Design of accompanying graphics and patterns

  • Shopify website design and development

Each element was designed to create a cohesive and memorable brand experience.

Brand Identity Design

The Xanto brand identity was designed to feel clean, modern, and connected to coastal living. We went with a warm colour palette and relaxed typography help convey the easy-going nature of the brand while still maintaining a polished and professional feel.

The visual identity provides a flexible foundation that can grow with the brand over time.

Shopify Website Design

Alongside the branding, we designed and developed a Shopify website that allows the products to be presented clearly and effectively. The website focuses on intuitive navigation, clean product layouts, and a smooth shopping experience from browsing through to checkout. The design is fully responsive and optimised for mobile shopping. Click here to see the final product.
