Moonea
Studio

1. Background

Moonea Studio is a digital communication agency based in Montpellier, run by Pépita Le Bescont. Its work spans five areas: website creation, community management, graphic design, digital strategy, and coaching and training. A complete brand guide, a chic nocturnal world of midnight blue with touches of gold, had already been signed off before the site project began.

2. The challenge

The site had to serve as the agency's own storefront, so it had to meet the same standard the agency sells to its clients. In practice, that meant:

• Establishing the studio's credibility from the first visit: portfolio, client work and proof of craft
• Presenting the five service areas clearly (websites, community management, graphic design, digital strategy, coaching and training)
• Following an already approved brand guide faithfully: midnight blue, sand, soft gold, Glacial Indifference and La Belle Aurore typefaces
• Making the contact form reliable, without depending on a heavy back office
• Delivering a fast site with clean SEO from day one

3. The solution

Forgeum Studio designed and built the site from the ground up, on a deliberately lean stack: Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript and Tailwind CSS 4, for sixteen dependencies in total. The site has seven pages (home, about, services, work, contact, legal notice, privacy policy) and a contact form built as a Server Action that sends email directly over SMTP, with no intermediate API route.

Moonea's brand guide, deep midnight blue, light sand, soft gold, and the Glacial Indifference typeface (self-hosted, not available on Google Fonts) paired with the La Belle Aurore script, was carried faithfully into the site's design system. Delivered in about a month, from first sketch to launch.

4. The outcome

The site is live at mooneastudio.com. PageSpeed Insights test (Lighthouse 13.4.1) run on August 12, 2026, on the home page: 100/100 for Performance on both mobile (Moto G Power emulation, slow 4G) and desktop, 96 for Accessibility, 100 for Best Practices and 100 for SEO. LCP measured at 1.5 s on mobile and 0.4 s on desktop, with no layout shift (CLS of 0). These remain lab measurements: the site's traffic is still too recent to feed a real-user report (CrUX).

One point is worth underlining: Moonea Studio is itself a digital communication agency, held to the standards of brand consistency and craft that the job demands. That it chose Forgeum Studio to build its own website is, for any business still hesitating, a form of professional endorsement.
