A small studio for founders and brands that need a website, brand or product designed and shipped — fast, intentional, and made to convert. We start where everyone else hesitates: at zero.
Clear scope. Named timeline. No retainers, no surprise invoices, no agency theatre. Pick the shape that fits and we'll talk numbers on the call.
We work the way good engineers think: in named, observable steps with clear outputs at every stage. No mystery, no scope creep.
A 90-minute kickoff. We map the audience, the pain, the competitors, and the one thing this site or product has to do. You leave with a written brief, not a deck.
Week 1Two visual directions in week two. One wins. We refine into a complete design system — type, color, components, every page — before a line of code.
Week 2–3Every project gets its own approach — no defaults, no lock-in. You see a live staging URL inside week one of build, and review every Friday until ship.
Week 3–6Migration, analytics, search console, the small things nobody else handles. Then 30 days of free support and a recorded handover so the team can drive on day 31.
Week 6+We started Syntropic because we kept watching good ideas die in bad agency processes. Long pitch decks. Six-month timelines. Senior designers who never touched the file.
Syntropic is two people who do the work. We pick projects we believe in, ship them in weeks not quarters, and stay involved long enough to see if the thing actually worked. Based in Bucharest. Working with founders and brands across Europe and North America.
We're new — by design. The studios we admire (Bürocratik, ToyFight, Malvah) all stayed under ten people on purpose. We plan to do the same.
The ones founders email us before booking a call. Answers below. Anything missing — ask in the form.
Fair question. Two answers. First, we have over twenty combined years of work for previous studios and clients — we'll walk you through it on the intro call. Second, we offer a paid two-week design sprint as a low-risk way to test working together before committing to a full build. If the sprint disappoints, you keep the work and we part ways.
Really fixed. Once we send a proposal, the deliverables and the number on it don't change unless you ask us to add scope. Anything outside the original scope becomes a named, priced add-on you approve before we start. We've spent enough time on the client side of mystery invoices to never write one.
Both, gladly. Our Launchpad package is built specifically for local brands — restaurants, clinics, ateliers, independent shops. We invoice in EUR or RON and handle Romanian VAT. We speak Romanian and English on calls.
Marketing sites come with a 30-minute screen-recorded handover so your team can edit text, images and pages without us. For larger changes, the Care package is the cheapest way to keep us on call.
Freelancers usually do one thing well — design, or development, or copy. Big agencies do everything but route your project through three account managers before anyone touches the file. We're two senior people who do strategy, design, copy direction and engineering, and the senior names on the proposal are the senior names on the file. That's it.
Yes — we sign yours, or send ours. We also include a default mutual NDA in our standard contract. Pre-launch products are kept off our portfolio until you give permission to feature them.
Then we scope a custom one. The packages are starting points; about 30% of our work ends up shaped to the specific brief. Tell us what you're trying to ship in the form and we'll come back within 24 hours with a recommendation — even if that recommendation is "you don't need us, here's who you do need."
Fill the brief, or send us an email. We reply to every message within one working day. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you who is.
