I’m Jon, an independent designer and filmmaker creating art-directed websites for boutique stays and places.
Film, photography and code, shaped together—one set of hands from the physical shoot to the live site.
Spacedust Web02 / BackgroundFrom film to websites
02
Filmmaker first. Developer by choice.
For nearly twenty years I’ve made architectural films and photographs for independent owners and agencies.
Spacedust Web grew out of the frustration of handing over carefully composed films and photographs, then seeing too little thought given to how they worked on the website.

Luxury is cohesion.
The care that goes into a physical place should extend directly to its website.
Photography, colour, typography and movement share one visual palette, drawn from the place itself.
Long before a guest arrives, the details already set the expectation.

From desire to direct booking.
An Instagram Reel creates desire in seconds. If the next tap lands on a clunky template, the momentum evaporates—and another guest defaults to Airbnb.
A fast, art-directed site turns that initial spark straight into direct revenue, keeping the atmosphere intact and the booking fees in your pocket.

The Old Workshop
Website in development.
A place to stay in Corbridge, brought to the screen through photography, film and a website designed and built together.
Short video loops, changing light and subtle movement bring the details of the place into the experience.
Spacedust Web06 / MaterialPhotography and film

Use what’s good. Create what’s missing.
Good photography or film may already exist. The strongest material becomes the starting point, edited and shaped around the website, with new shoots planned to fill the gaps.
For a complete refresh, photography and film are created from the start, with the finished site in mind.

Tell me about the place.
What have you got in mind? A new opening, a fresh start, or a website that needs to catch up with the place itself.
Spacedust Web09 / One visionOne visual direction
09
The place, the imagery and the website should feel like one thing.
Photography, film, words, movement and code are considered together from the beginning.
Not a website built around whatever material happens to arrive.
Not a film dropped into a template afterwards.
One visual direction, carried from the physical place through to the screen.
