Brands and websites for people who do the work themselves

We are six designers and developers. We take on about eight projects a year and finish them.

One story

Bageri Tre

From a chalkboard menu to a queue that moves

Illustration of a bakery counter with an awning and trays of bread

Brief

A line out the door, every morning

Bageri Tre sold out by ten and spent the early hours answering the phone about what was left. They needed a menu people could trust and a way to reserve bread.

Work

One page, one rule

We rebuilt the menu as a single page that updates from a spreadsheet, added a pre-order that closes at 22:00, and redrew the sign so you can read it from the tram.

Result

Calls halved, bread sold

Phone calls dropped by half in the first month, and the shelves now empty at one instead of ten. The chalkboard is a decoration, as it should be.

How we work

Four steps, no surprises

A fixed price, a fixed date and one person who answers your messages.

  1. Week 1

    Listen

    A day with your team. We ask what you do when nobody is looking.

  2. Weeks 2 to 3

    Sketch

    Three directions on paper. You pick one and tell us why.

  3. Weeks 4 to 7

    Build

    Design and code together, shown to you every Friday.

  4. Week 8

    Launch

    We go live with you, then stay on call for a month.

Clients

They finished on the day they promised and the work has not aged a bit. That has never happened to us before.

Maja Lund

Founder, design director

Maja started Halvmåne after ten years of working for larger agencies, with one rule: the person who sells the project does the project. She still sketches every logo herself, on paper, first.
