Website / Family archive, three languages

House of Bakibulda. An archive you can open.

A private family archive published as a website in Kazakh, Russian and English — three generations, a coat of arms, a set of values, and somewhere to keep the documents.

The brief

Preserve a family’s names, memories and records in a form the next generation can actually open, and carry it in all three languages the family uses day to day.

Our contribution

Editorial design and build: structure, typography, the coat of arms mark, the family tree and the trilingual system.

The solution

A dark-to-cream editorial rhythm with a high-contrast serif and a single gold accent. Five numbered sections — family, history, values, the dream, the archive — so the site reads as a document rather than a brochure. The seven values are set in Kazakh and English together, because the meaning lives in both.

Delivered

A responsive trilingual site with an interactive three-generation family tree, a coat of arms page, a genealogy section, and an archive structured into documents, letters and memories.

House of Bakibulda home page and coat of arms — Home page. The mark is the family’s own coat of arms, drawn for the site.

History section — History. The dark bands break the page into chapters you can stop between.

The seven values in Kazakh and English — Seven values, each carrying its Kazakh name above the English one.

House of Bakibulda home screen and archive on a phone — Home and the archive on a phone, where most of the family actually reads it.

Live at bakibulda.com in Kazakh, Russian and English. A private family project rather than a commercial commission.
