Case study - The Sunday Chapter

Overview

Our strategic partner, Swid Studio, was approached by The Sunday Chapter, a creative talent-management agency, to refresh their digital presence. They needed a site that felt elevated and contemporary, but also easy to maintain without developer help.

We built a fully custom solution using Statamic on top of Laravel, giving them a flexible CMS with a polished front-end that matches their premium brand.

What We Built

A flexible content system.

Everything on the site — talent profiles, partnerships, pages, media — is fully editable in Statamic. The client can add new talent, update bios, publish new pages, and adjust layout components directly from the CMS.

A refined, modern front-end

The design focuses on clarity and strong visual storytelling:

• a clean talent grid

• elegant brand-collaboration highlights

• minimal UI with confident typography

• smooth page transitions and well-structured content blocks

The end result communicates the agency’s identity without getting in the way of the work they represent.

Built for growth

Using Laravel underneath Statamic keeps the project extensible. As their business expands — more talent, case studies, editorial content, campaign pages — the site can grow with them. Editors stay in control, while developers get a solid foundation for future features.

The Outcome

The Sunday Chapter now has a site that:

• looks sharp and aligns with their creative direction

• allows non-technical staff to update everything

• gives them a scalable platform rather than a fixed template

It’s a good example of how we approach CMS builds: thoughtful architecture, smooth editing experience, and front-end execution that feels crafted rather than generic.
