Future Faced, the brand and web design studio founded by Daniel Jay Lyle, marks five years in business on 19 November 2026. To mark the milestone, the studio is expanding its website work into immersive design: interactive, 3D and motion-led sites for businesses whose work needs to be seen properly to be understood.
Since 2021, Future Faced has worked with founder-led businesses across Southampton, Hampshire and worldwide, from trades and hire firms to coaches and community interest companies. The studio brings brand identity, websites and search visibility under one roof, so each piece is built to work with the others.
The move into immersive websites comes from a gap Daniel kept seeing. For artists, makers, galleries and premium brands, a standard website with a grid of photos undersells the work. An immersive site lets visitors move through it, explore it and spend time with it before they ever get in touch.
“For five years I’ve built brands and websites for founders, and the pattern I keep seeing is that the best businesses rarely look as good online as they are in person. For a lot of them, a clean, well-built site is exactly right. For others, the work is the whole point, and a page of thumbnails doesn’t do it justice. That’s who immersive sites are for. Clients still work directly with me from first call to launch, so the brand, the site and how it gets found are all built together.”
The first of the new sites is a 3D gallery for street artist Mark Staples, launched in October at markys11.co.uk. Instead of scrolling a page of images, visitors move through a virtual gallery to see his work.
Over five years, Future Faced has delivered around 15 websites and 10 brands, and holds a 5.0 rating from 23 Google reviews. The studio is based at Gaters Mill in Southampton, meeting clients face-to-face across Hampshire and working remotely with everyone else. Immersive websites sit alongside its core services: brand identity, website design and development, and SEO, including AI search visibility.
