Design Demon
We’re excited that our in-house design team is busier than ever, with online and offline design projects, as companies used the lockdown to review their own marketing and design strategies.
From developing an identity from scratch for a new business and refreshing established branding, to moving a company’s image online, or retaining its integrity offline… our studio draws on years of experience to get you the look, feel and image you’re after. Some projects we’re particularly proud of include:
Noggin
Printed sales brochure
Noggin's B2B brochure needed to stand out on desks; educate prospects and reassure clients in a marketplace which is often blinded by data science. A fairly technical subject, Noggin was keen that their brochure was appealing to pick up and look through, and in an easy-to-read format.
Styled in line with current branding, the Noggin brochure showcases the importance of data within a town centre landscape, using articles and case studies to illustrate how Noggin products support understanding of a town’s ebb and flow.
Rathbone Results
Brand refresh
After trading for just over 10 years, Rathbone Results was keen to re-enforce its client-centric approach with a new website which focuses on how they work with clients to achieve the results they do. The company was keen to retain its maroon and blue colour palette but felt a refresh of its identity was needed, in line with the more contemporary website we built for them.

Southdown Mobility Adaptations
Start-up brand identity
As a start-up, Southdown Mobility Adaptations was keen to provide a fresh perspective on providing solutions for people, which often delivers an incredible sense of freedom for the person experiencing a restriction in their mobility.
Keen to play on its focused location of the South Downs, we developed an identity using a calming green to symbolise the South Downs, the sweep of the Downs portraying movement and freedom, and the martlett as a bird of the region. This branding was used throughout the new website and has been applied to all literature.
Very Busy Vegan
Start-up brand identity
With a firm vision for an identity in mind, Very Busy Vegan was keen to see its start-up identity come to fruition.
We worked closely with the business to ensure that the sense of gravitas delivered by the company was not lost in whimsical font, appealed to its target market – and that the professional branding could be applied to a useful and informative website.
Gary Fullwood
New business identity
We worked closely with Gary Fullwood and his team to re-launch his kitchen company into a new, high end, luxury market – with a new identity.
Keen to retain the image and involvement of the original founder of the company, the company wanted to use his name and needed to appeal not only to legacy customers but to an additional new, discerning market.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you design a website to get great results?
How much do you charge for a custom website design?
- Each website design and project, like every business, is different. Our pricing is tailored to the needs of your business.
- For an average 'brochure' website with 5-8 custom pages the investment will be between £1600 and £2000
- If you need either eCommerce or other advanced functionality you should allow for an investment of £2000-£2500
- A Website Success website design includes creating compelling customer messages and 'calls to action'
What is the process after I order a new website design?
Once your proposal has been signed off we start by sending you our design questionnaire where we need your input.
- From the results we can understand fully what's required to design a stunning, effective and unique custom website design that's tailored to your business to get you the best results possible.
- This doesn't mean using the same standard layout every time, but thinking through your visitor's objectives and their needs.
- A website must appeal to your visitors and should be unique to your business so it's memorable.
- We design with a colour palette, images and brand graphic elements that appeal to your target market, design to enhance your message to make it easy to entice your visitors to keep reading, build trust and convert these leads into sales.
- We give you unlimited design revisions until you approve for coding. Once you approve the home page design, we will then start designing the internal
page designs.
- When you approve the designs, we either package the final editable design files (PSD & AI files) with fonts and instructions for the developers of your choice ...or start coding if we're building your site too.
How much is copywriting?
We offer a professional copywriting service to ensure that your message is conveyed in the right tone for your chosen audience with the correct language for your brand. Whether its copy for the website, articles or blogs we can help.
- As a guide 'marketing copywriting' for an average web page (300-450 words) would be £80-£100
- Blog post copywriting is £75/post (400-600 words)
What if I don't have my copywriting or photos ready yet?
Don't panic, as long as we've got the answers from your design questionnaire and our initial discussions, we can design the homepage and put together the site structure.
- We'll put together the internal pages and navigation based on our experience of what works best with your target audience using place holder text until your copy is ready. We often find that once we've built the structure you'll get a lot more clarity about what you do/don't want to say on your website.
- We provide professional copywriting and photography services (subject to location) should you require them.
- We'll let you know when we need your images and copy. This is usually after the design has been signed off, before it goes into the build phase and
is coded. For a quotation on these services please contact us through the button below.
How long does it take to design the website?
The design process varies from website to website and client requirement to client requirement.
- We aim to deliver the home page design within 10-14 days and (subject to the required alterations)...
- The completed design within three to four weeks of the proposal being signed off
We appreciate that sometimes speed is of the essence...if you're happy to work closely with us to get a rapid result, we can offer an expedited design rate.
Can you deliver the design in less than four weeks?
Yes, we can deliver a design, ready for coding, for you in less than four weeks, subject to:
- An expedited rate to allow us to make the required resources available
- and you'll need to be prepared to work closely with us and respond quickly to any required feedback
