Branding and Design

The things you need before a website makes sense.

A logo. A proper email address on your own domain. A brochure people can open without wincing. The things that make you look like a business worth dealing with, whether or not you have a website yet. Choose the items you need, leave the ones you don’t.

Who it’s for

Three situations this tends to fit.

We get asked for Branding and Design in three main moments. If one of these is you, you’re in the right place. If none of them is, the Website Audit or a full website build is probably what you actually need.

You’re starting from scratch.

You’ve got a business idea, a name, and very little else. You need a logo, a working email address, and something to send people. You’re not ready for a website yet, or you’ve decided to do that part later.

You’ve got clients, but you don’t look professional enough.

You’re still using a Gmail account, your proposal template is a Word doc from 2019, and the last thing you sent a prospect was a PDF made in PowerPoint.

You’re ready for a re-brand.

You already have some branding, and you’re ready for a refresh and an upgrade.

Already have a website and not sure it’s working hard enough? That’s an audit conversation. See the Website Audit
4 groups

Put together a package that suits what you need.

Everything below is à la carte. Take one item, take all of them, or build a bundle. Pricing is per item, not per package, so you don’t pay for things you didn’t ask for.

Questions we get asked

Eight things people often ask.

Not always. If you already have a logo and you like it, a website can be built around what you have. If you don’t, doing the branding first means the website launches looking like it belongs to a real business, not a brand-new one. Most clients who come to us with nothing start with a logo and basic identity first, then the website.

Yes. You get three concepts, two variations of the one you pick, and every file format you’ll need. You own all of it.

Yes, outright. Source files, working files, every format. No design files held hostage.

Yes. Most clients start with one or two items and add more over the next year. The brand guidelines mean anything we add later still looks like it belongs.

For business cards and small print, we’ll quote design and printing together. Printing is charged at cost with our trusted local printer, who offers nation-wide delivery.

Yes, that’s a common path. Invest in a logo and brand identity now. Add the website when you’re ready. Because we built the brand, the website launches looking consistent on day one. We don’t charge you twice for the brand work.

No. The website is its own service with its own pricing. Branding and Design is the brand-shaped things around a website (or instead of one, while you wait). Some people only need this. Some clients only need a website. Most people eventually need both.

Logo and one-page guidelines: about two weeks. Full brand guidelines: about four. A brochure depends on scope and how quickly the briefing comes back. We agree dates in the proposal so you know what you’re committing to.

Send us the list, or just the rough shape of it. We’ll come back with a per-item quote and a sensible order to do things in. No package you have to talk your way out of.
