Bough Studio

Bough Studio is an independent design practice based in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. We work with ambitious brands to sharpen how they look, what they say, and how they're found online and in AI-powered search.

Our work spans three interconnected areas:

Brand Strategy & Identity We help businesses define what they stand for and translate that into visual systems that hold up across every touchpoint, at every scale. Our approach is rooted in mid-century design principles: clarity, structure, and work that ages well rather than chasing trends.

Framer Development We design and build high-performance websites in Framer, fast, flexible, and genuinely easy for clients to manage. From marketing sites to portfolio platforms, we bring the same rigour to development that we bring to design. Every project is built to perform, not just to look good.

Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) As AI-powered search changes how people discover brands, we help clients stay visible and authoritative in that new landscape. We implement structured data, llms.txt frameworks, and content architecture that positions your brand to be cited, not just crawled.

We're a small studio, which means you work directly with the person doing the work. No account managers, no handoffs, no dilution. Just considered, experienced thinking applied to your specific problem.

With over 20 years of experience across branding, digital design, and the outdoor and active lifestyle industries, we bring both craft and commercial understanding to every engagement.

If you're looking for a studio that takes the long view on brand, on web, and on what comes next, we'd like to hear from you.
