The brief

Attorney in law Emre Küçük founded EK Hukuk & Danışmanlık in Denizli in September 2025, advising companies and individuals.

A new firm had to feel established from day one: an identity, a brand book and a website that explain law in plain Turkish — calm, clear and trustworthy.

02

My role

I designed it end to end — brand book, UI kit and every page of the website — and saw it through to the live site.

  • Brand book & logo system
  • UI kit · tokens, 32 icons, components
  • Website · 6 page templates
  • Tone of voice & legal pages

The challenge

Bar rules
No superiority claims, promises, client reviews or success rates — Turkish Bar advertising rules
Tone
Formal, but not distant — law in plain Turkish
Colour
About 95% neutral, 5% azure; buttons stay neutral
Proof, not claims
Trust built through education, experience and a clear process

How Igot there

  1. 01

    Listen

    Started from how the firm wanted to sound: formal, but not distant — and from what the bar rules don’t allow.

  2. 02

    Identity

    Designed the EK monogram, then set Playfair Display with Manrope and a black-and-white palette with a touch of azure.

  3. 03

    System

    Turned the brand into a UI kit: colour and type tokens, 32 sharp icons and components from buttons to FAQs.

  4. 04

    Website

    Built six page templates from those components and took the site live.

Identity

Sharp, monochrome,measured

A monogram in black and white, Playfair Display for headlines, Manrope for everything that has to be read — and one accent, azure, used sparingly.

  1. 01

    Formal, not distant

    Law explained in plain Turkish — short sentences, clear headings, a calm tone.

  2. 02

    Proof, not claims

    No “best”, “leading” or “expert”: trust comes from education, experience and a clear process.

  3. 03

    No pressure

    No results promised, no success rates, no “call now” — the bar rules became the brand’s voice.

  1. 01

    Tokens, not hex

    Every colour, space and text style is a variable — change the token, not the layer.

  2. 02

    Errors in words

    Form errors are explained in text, never by colour alone; labels are always visible.

  3. 03

    Fair by default

    Under KVKK, rejecting cookies is as easy as accepting; nothing is pre-ticked.

Website

Six pages,one voice

Built from the kit and written in the brand’s voice: a home page that opens with the consultation form, practice areas with their own FAQs, and legal pages made to be read. Shown here as it is live, in Turkish.

  1. 01

    Form first

    The home page opens with the consultation form — the one action the site exists for, with no pressure in the copy.

  2. 02

    An FAQ for every area

    Each practice-area page ends with three or four questions people actually ask, in plain Turkish.

  3. 03

    Legal pages, readable

    Cookie and privacy pages get a table of contents that follows you as you scroll.

Outcome

WhatI learned

  1. 01

    Constraints make a voice

    The bar rules ruled out the usual marketing language. Designing around them gave the brand its calm, factual tone.

  2. 02

    Build the kit first

    Tokens and components came before pages — so six pages stayed consistent, from the hero form to the 404.

  3. 03

    Trust lives in details

    Readable legal pages, a fair cookie banner and errors explained in words do as much for trust as the logo.
