Thyme website design

How it’s built

Layout: A narrow cream navigation band spans the top with links left and right around a centered botanical mark. The rest is one wide landscape photograph of a country house, garden and mature tree. A large cream serif wordmark and tiny uppercase tagline sit centered over the façade.
Type: Large elegant serif wordmark in the center; tiny tracked sans tagline; top navigation is small, tracked uppercase sans. Typeface names and exact sizes unknown.
Color and surface: Cream header and lettering overlay a natural green garden, gray stone, brown roof and deep green tree canopy. The photograph provides all major texture; no visible cards, borders or shadows.
Components: Split top navigation, centered botanical emblem, full-bleed estate photograph, centered name and short tagline.

What makes it work

One dominant place photograph
Compact top navigation
Centered identity over image

On a new subjectUse a single image of the relevant place or environment, place concise identity in a quiet central area, and keep navigation shallow and separated.
