Hangar Studio is a Zagreb-based filming studio — equipment rental, crew, and the only original airplane set in southeast Europe. Its brand needed a website that matched the studio’s tone while surfacing every technical detail clients ask for — all under a heavy load of high-quality photo and video.
Based in Zagreb, Hangar Studio specialises in video and photo shoots. They rent equipment, supply crew, and have the only original airplane set in the region — ideal for ads and film. It’s one of the most renowned shooting studios in Croatia.
A look at the seven phases that shaped the new Hangar Studio website — from competitor research to the final dynamic landing video.
Hangar Studio’s business growth had relied mostly on word-of-mouth. To reach a wider audience and show off their services properly, they decided to build a website. Before any design or development, the groundwork came first:
After research, two priorities stood out:
Hangar weighed the pros and cons of each site map together with the team. That open back-and-forth was the primary source of information about their clients’ needs and kept the design process transparent.
The design team used the site map to build a low-fidelity wireframe — the blueprint for the website’s layout and functionality.
Creating these early helps with:
The dark theme — inspired by the main photographer’s style — offers a contrast of dark and light, signalling their presence as a central figure who is always there but unseen.
Balancing artistry and functionality drove these features:
The Hangar Studio logo doubles as a stamp, opening up the negative space inside it for a dynamic call-to-action. The logo becomes a “window” to the studio tour video, composited in After Effects so the footage plays inside the logo shape.
The idea was to encourage interaction with the page, not just passive observation. The “Rent airplane” section uses a panning view; the photo is elongated to show the aircraft in detail, giving mobile users a complete experience even on a small screen.
Nuxt.js was the right fit for its blend of server-side rendering and static site generation. That combination let an essentially static site hit strong performance and SEO numbers while keeping a familiar Vue-based developer experience — easy to write reusable components and layouts that hold a consistent design language across the site.
The user-friendly routing system simplified navigation, and a wide ecosystem of plugins and modules made it easy to integrate the third-party tools the site needed.
The shallow learning curve of Nuxt.js and Vue.js let the team move quickly — streamlined development and fast project execution.
The website strengthened Hangar Studio’s market credibility and made it easier to communicate with existing clients.
They put an extra effort not only to make the website out of the content we provided them, but they proposed some extra features and content which would become beneficial for our business.
Other clients we’ve helped through the same trigger.
