The brief, in three moves

What we built and why.

Problem

Where we started

Specialised pharmaceutical contract manufacturer producing FDA-grade active ingredients for psychedelic-medicine clinical trials — LSD, MDMA, psilocybin. Their customers are biotech CMC leads and FDA regulators. The procurement-grade trust signals (DEA registration, 17,000-sq-ft GMP facility, fifty years of psychedelic-manufacturing experience) had to be the visual centrepiece. The category itself — "psychedelic CDMO" — is so new that the website had to define what they do before it could sell it.

Phase 01 of 03
Approach

What we built

Figma-first design centred on the trademarked positioning "The Psychedelic CDMO™" — a tagline that simultaneously defines the category and claims the leadership position. Custom WordPress build with three structured service pages (Process R&D, API Production, Tech Transfer) each documenting GMP compliance evidence. Facility-photography led visual storytelling — real lab spaces, real equipment, real scientists in PPE. Investor-grade trust signals (square footage, DEA registration, years in operation) elevated to homepage.

Phase 02 of 03
Result

What changed

Category-defining hero · 3 GMP service pages · facility photography elevated · biotech-procurement-grade trust signals

Phase 03 of 03

A psychedelic CDMO finally has a website built for FDA regulators, not for casual readers.

01 / 04

The brief

Psygen manufactures the active pharmaceutical ingredients (LSD, MDMA, psilocybin) that clinical-trial biotech firms need for psychedelic-medicine research. Their customers aren't curious about psychedelics; they're biotech CMC leads negotiating contracts with regulators in the room. The website had to read as procurement-grade pharma, not as advocacy.

02 / 04

Defining the category

The category itself didn't exist as a recognised label. In Figma we designed the brand identity around the trademarked tagline "The Psychedelic CDMO™" — claiming both the category and the leadership position in one move. The visual language is restrained — facility photography, scientists in PPE, real lab interiors, no stock photography, no clichéd psychedelic visuals.

03 / 04

What we shipped

Custom WordPress build (Elementor Pro for the editorial layer) with three structured service pages — Process R&D, API Production, Tech Transfer — each documenting GMP compliance evidence at the level of detail a biotech CMC lead needs before requesting a quote. Investor-grade trust signals (17,000 sq-ft facility, 50 years of psychedelic-manufacturing experience, DEA registration) elevated to the homepage.

04 / 04

The numbers

Three structured service pages live. The 17,000-sq-ft facility documentation surfaced where biotech CMC leads look for it first. The site finally reads as the regulatory-grade pharma manufacturer Psygen actually is.
