Orphaleia Press
Overview
Orphaleia Press needed to launch online with the confidence of an established publishing house, not the uncertainty of a new project. The website had to introduce the brand, explain its purpose and give its catalogue a clear structure from day one.
Rubi designed a calm, editorial and content led website that gives readers, authors, press contacts and collaborators a clear route through the publishing house and its work.
Rubi created the full brand identity for Orphaleia Press, including the logo, colour palette and brand guidelines. For a new publishing house, having a polished and consistent visual identity from the start was essential for building credibility with readers, authors and press contacts.
The Challenge
A new publishing brand has to earn trust quickly. Visitors need to understand what the press stands for, what it publishes and why the books deserve attention.
The site also needed to be flexible enough to support future titles without needing a new structure every time the catalogue grows.
The brand needed to feel credible from launch.
Books needed proper presentation instead of a simple list.
The structure had to work for readers, authors and press contacts.
The platform needed room for future releases and publishing activity.
Website Design and Development
The website was built around editorial space, calm typography and a clear catalogue structure. Each section was designed to make the publishing house feel considered, serious and easy to explore.
Technical SEO, clean page structure and responsive layouts were included from launch so the site could support organic discovery as the brand and catalogue develop.

What We Did
We planned the site around the natural journey of readers, press contacts, authors and collaborators. The structure introduces the publishing house first, then gives the books and future content room to develop.
The design direction focused on clean typography, generous space and simple navigation so the brand could feel literary, professional and accessible at the same time.
