GuArt

GuArt is the advisory brand of Kevin Octavio Bruns, a financial advisor in Kassel who works on one question: how much of a family’s wealth actually survives the German inheritance tax. There is no pricing page and no named offer on the site, just a free 17-question check that gives a first honest range in under four minutes.

Discretion is one of his stated values, so there are no client names anywhere on the site. The trust had to come out of the design instead. That’s why I went dark-first: deep forest green, antique gold & ivory, a classical serif over an extra-light sans, near-square corners and a texture tiled across the whole page. It reads like engraved stationery, not like another finance funnel.

What’s live now is a German-only site where every page ends up pointing at the same check. Two long-form landing pages carry the argument, and even the 404 walks people back into it.
