ECSA Customs
Website development for ECSA, a European network of customs service providers. Built faithfully to a client-provided visual design with a headless CMS the team manages themselves.

The Brief
ECSA is a European network of customs service providers. They needed a public website to introduce the network and present its services to potential members and clients. With the visual direction already settled, our focus was faithful implementation of the design, content shaped around how the network actually sells, and a CMS the ECSA team could maintain themselves.
What We Built for ECSA
Visual Design Translation
ECSA's designer provided the full set of visuals. We built the live site to match across every page and section, and made it work consistently on phone, tablet, and desktop without compromising the design intent.
Service Pages Structured Around Their Offerings
Nine service areas, each with its own page. The set covers customs entry and filing, tariff classification, fiscal and VAT, free trade agreements, bonded warehousing, regulatory compliance, e-commerce trade, consulting and training, and specialized customs services. Same structure across all of them so prospective clients can scan and compare.
Industry-Specific Tone and Content
Customs and trade is a specific audience. The site uses terminology, examples, and content structure that match how the trade industry talks about its work, not generic agency-speak. Service descriptions and contact form fields all reflect ECSA's actual workflows and the questions their team is used to answering.
Built on Svelteload, the SvelteKit and Payload CMS stack behind every Nodebrush project.
A Private Forum for ECSA's Members
Beyond the website, we set up a separate Discourse instance for ECSA's member companies to coordinate across borders. The forum runs independently from the public site and is configured for the network's own access patterns, sharing nothing but the client. The dedicated tool page covers how we customize Discourse for use cases like this.
