Four areas, and what is inside them.
What each area covers and what you end up with. Figures and timings we give on the phone: they depend on what you need.
Brand and identity
A mark that holds up on the sign, on the van and on a phone screen.
We draw the mark and write the rules for using it, so it stays the same even when somebody else takes it in hand.
What it covers
- Positioning and direct competitors
- Mark and variants, from the business card to the sign
- Palette, typefaces, composition rules
- Brand manual, with the mistakes to avoid
What you end up with
- Mark in SVG, PDF, PNG and EPS
- Identity manual as a PDF
- Open source files, in your name
- Templates for letterhead, business card and presentation
What changes from one job to the next
It depends on where the mark will end up: in two places, or on a sign, a van and packaging.
If the mark already exists
We keep what your customers recognise and redo the rest, one piece at a time and to a schedule.
Websites
A site written line by line: it opens fast and you change the text yourselves.
We design every screen and write it out in code, by hand. Inside there is only what is needed.
What it covers
- Structure and copy, written together with you
- Design of every screen, on the phone first
- Bespoke development, animation included
- Going live, domain, email and measurement
What you end up with
- Site live on your domain and your account
- A panel for changing the text yourselves
- A written guide for people who do not code
- Two months of support after going live
What changes from one job to the next
How many screens, and what the site has to do beyond telling the story: bookings, catalogue, members’ area.
Print and catalogues
The brand where the customer holds it in their hands.
Catalogues, price lists, product sheets, material for trade fairs. We lay it out, prepare the artwork, and we are the ones who talk to the printer.
What it covers
- Catalogues, price lists and brochures
- Flyers, posters, cards, letterhead
- Papers and finishes, chosen together with you
- Direct dealings with the printer
What you end up with
- Artwork as PDF, with bleed and crop marks
- Open source files, in your name
- A proof checked before the run
- Reusable templates for the next editions
What changes from one job to the next
The pages and the finishes: an emboss, a varnish or a special paper changes both the design and the printing.
Photography
Photographs taken where you work, with your products and your people.
We come to you with the lights and photograph products, departments and people where they are. The originals stay yours.
What it covers
- A shoot at your premises or in your shop
- Selection and post-production
- Formats for web, print and social
- Coordination with the design work under way
What you end up with
- A photo archive of your own, with no expiry
- Files for print and for the web
- Crops ready for the formats you use
- A usage release, with no time limit
What changes from one job to the next
How long we stay with you and how many subjects there are to photograph.
How the work goes, in every area.
Listening
We come to you, watch how you work and leave you what we understood, in writing.
Direction
We put one road in front of you, with the reasons written down.
Building
We design and write the code, and every week we show you where we have got to.
Going live
We publish, watch how it goes, and stay on the same phone number.
Tell us in your own words: we’ll take it from there.
Write and tell us which area you need, or the problem in front of you. We answer within one working day.
