Vondel Desks · Positioning, identity, website and CMS

From a desk for rent to a place worth choosing.

We turned a generic coworking offer into a distinctive Amsterdam brand and a conversion-ready website, built around one compelling truth: your own desk, one minute from Vondelpark.

The real problem

The business was distinctive. The website made it look interchangeable.

Vondel Desks already had the location, price, reviews and personal service. The old site presented them as information, not as reasons to choose. Our job was to turn those facts into a story that made a visit feel like the obvious next step.

Before and after

Same business. A completely different reason to choose it.

We did not decorate the old website. We rebuilt the decision journey: promise, price, proof, place and action.

Four commercial decisions

The redesign starts with what people need to believe.

Each visual decision earns its place by making the offer easier to understand, trust and act on.

  1. The current Vondel Desks homepage leads with one clear proposition, price and next step
    01

    Lead with one promise

    The offer becomes instantly memorable: your own desk, one minute from Vondelpark.

  2. The current Vondel Desks value section presents the all-in monthly membership and its inclusions
    02

    Turn price into proof

    €325 is framed against what is included and what comparable Amsterdam desks charge.

  3. The current Vondel Desks website explains everything included in the membership
    03

    Make the membership tangible

    24/7 access, five call booths, a meeting room and the useful extras become reasons to join.

  4. The current Vondel Desks review section uses verified member voices to describe the atmosphere
    04

    Let members sell the feeling

    Verified reviews answer the emotional question: will I actually enjoy working here?

The pricing story

€325 stops being a number. It becomes the easiest offer to compare.

The current site now does the commercial work in public. It shows the price, the inclusions, the introductory offer and the public list-price difference before a visitor has to ask.

The experience, not just the inventory

The website sells the workday people want to have.

Location remains useful context. The stronger story is what life inside the space feels like: focused, familiar and fully set up.

Brand evolution

We turned Vondelpark from an address into the idea.

The new identity feels calm, local and personal. Navy carries trust, terracotta adds warmth, and the mark brings place and desk into one recognizable symbol.

Conversion logic

Built around the questions people ask before they visit.

What do I get? Is €325 good value? What does the space feel like? Who already works here? How do I meet Sven? The page answers each question before it becomes hesitation.
