Type B

It's true that no two projects are the same, but they all follow the same process. We've perfected our own design services process to make sure we get it right for our partners every time.


1. EXPLORE & RESEARCH
All of our design services start with some good conversation. We take as much time as necessary to sit down with you and chat about your project at length, so as to understand where you are, where you want to be and how we get you there.


We’ll have a review document or two (depending on your needs) that we’ll sit and fill out together, covering every aspect of the job. Once we know what your goals are, we can work towards exceeding them. From there, we’ll take some time to collect our own research, as well as borrow any that you might have already done.


This is an essential part of the process for all our design services, so we’re as thorough as we can be when it comes to exploring every area of your market and industry.


2. CREATE & DEVELOP
Once we’ve gathered all the information we need, the team come together and whip up a variety of ideas and solutions to the project. We’ll play with the good ones until we make them great, putting together a selection for you to have a look at and consider.


We listen to your feedback - what you love, what you feel needs further development - and from there we’ll head back to the studio and develop the final ideas for your approval and sign off.


Throughout this stage, we’ll be sharing our progress and our ideas as often as you want us to, which gives you as many opportunities as possible to give us your input and feedback. For us, it’s vital that you’re included in this part of the process; after all, it’s your baby.


3. DELIVER & SUPPORT
We work carefully and closely together when creating the final designs for your project. It’s vital to us that what we’re producing performs as great as it looks, so that’s why we’ll only ever submit the final designs to you for approval once we’re all completely satisfied that they surpass every single expectation laid out at the beginning.


When you’ve approved the work and are ready to take the reigns, we work with you to make sure that the hand over is as smooth and straightforward as we can possibly make it. Of course, it doesn’t end there unless you want it to.


For us, we’ve got a friend and partner in you and we’ll be there to work together and support you down the line, in any way that we can. We’ll have a chat about packages we’ve got that can provide ongoing development and see if it’s something that could benefit you.

The information we need from our clients prior to beginning a project will vary, depending on the work that's required.


However, we've created and developed a BRANDING REVIEW FORM and a WEB DESIGN REVIEW FORM for our clients, both of which covers every aspect of the project from start to finish. We fill these out with our clients during our free, no obligation consultations, so that we can ascertain their needs and also calculate an accurate price for the project.

We love design, pure and simple. We've worked with a wide variety of clients from across a couple of continents; and while some had very specific goals in mind, there have been some who let us loose to work our magic. That's what drives us.


When we're given the freedom to exercise our creative muscles, we're fuelled by the idea that we can 'wow'. We want to wow our clients and we want their audience to be wowed too. Whether it's admiration for the creativity, or laughter at the humour, or being moved by the power behind the message - we want our clients to react in a big way.


We're in the business of putting smiles on people's faces and when we achieve that, there's no greater feeling.

Clients should work with us for a variety of reasons:


- We offer incredible value, due to our business format. Clients pay less than they'd typically expect to pay a traditional agency, due to greater overheads. Our 'Hive Agency' of freelance designers means we can charge freelance rates while still offering the collaborative, agency experience.


- All of our designers are fully trained and qualified designers, based in the UK.


- We've got international experience and exposure, having designed for clients in the U.S.A, the UK, Bulgaria and Spain.


- We're passionate about design and do what we do in order to help our clients spread their message to an audience. That's our driving force before anything else, which is why we won't work with 'just anybody'. If we believe that a client's message isn't one that could benefit the world around us, we're not afraid to turn down the project.


- As an agency, we're driven by compassion and community spirit. We regularly do our part to try and make the area around us a little better, whether it's teaming up with charities or offering our service to some truly inspirational people for free, in order for them to continue their tireless, community driven work. We also embrace our very own 'pay it forward' scheme, whereby on every project, we'll give something a little extra to our clients for free, out of kindness. Our only hope is that the client pays it forward and does something for their own customers out of kindness. It's a little gesture that can potentially go a very long way.


But above all else, clients should choose us because they've done their homework, studied our portfolio and feel that we can offer them great design and terrific value. Those are the types of clients we want to work with - ones who've seen who we are and what we do, and believe we'd work well together. We encourage everyone to check us out before even considering reaching out to us, because we don't want to sell our services to people who won't get benefit from us - we want to support those who will.
