Francesco is the computer and graphic designer component and Seija is a free artist and photographer, with our combo we bring balance and vibrance to our projects. Fortunately (or not) we both share the perfectionist trait and strive to do the best for all, which drives us to go to any lengths to present the most optimal result for our clients.

I gave this company a try to develop a fairly complex website that needed heaps of functionality for submissions of materials, reporting and accountancy. Francesco and his team did a fantastic job. He supports our websites in an ongoing fashion with excellent response time and very little complications. He is great at outsourcing more advance material if not already in his skillset. He is very fair in his charging and a very nice guy overall. We highly recommend his company. More...

I have really enjoyed working with The wee design family! Francesco has done web design and artwork for my business and is timely, creative and knowledgeable. He will even occasionally come to my house if I am too busy to meet at his location! Sieja has done some photography for my business and is equally timely, professional and capable. I highly recommend The wee design crew. More...

The Wee Design Crew were fantastic to work with. We are a not-for-profit charity so they helped us create the perfect logo and online presence for what we do and the community we would like to surround ourselves with. They listened to exactly what we envisioned, and made it so beautiful. I cannot recommend them highly enough - a small, family business, and good, honest people. More...

I very much enjoyed working with Franci at The wee design crew. I found his service to be professional, through and innovative. I got exactly what I asked for and more due to ideas he contributed. I have had business cards, flyers and car magnets designed by him. I have also had email set up support. More...

Q&As

Before starting any project, it's important to define clear communication with the customer. The collection of information is fundamental to defining the website's goal/intent. A great website communicates this goal through the design and the user experience.
Great performance is another element that helps the users to stay engaged with it: a website that is too slow doesn't express efficiency and trust in the service/product/message offered.
Responsiveness is required these days. We can access the internet from many different devices and we need to be able to view a website clearly and from any of those devices.
Last but not least, SEO friendly: a website can be beautiful but it needs to be found on the internet seen otherwise it would be like a diamond in the middle of the ocean.

- What is your intent with your project?
- What are you trying to achieve?
- What do you want to communicate?

After we understand what the project is about we begin by creating a brief and mapping a simple flow chart. We then start drafting a concept to break down the complexity of the project into manageable steps, constantly checking in with our customers to make sure we are on the right path. Then we go about transforming our ideas into a working product.

We will need to create a brief together. If a logo is not provided, the design and development of one are important so that we can define the theme of the project. Essentially, only a few words a necessary to start a project, we just need to be on the same wavelength and communicate what each other's needs are.

We love many aspects of our job:
- the process of creating a brief;
- good communication;
- understanding the needs of our customers;
- solving issues;
- the design process;
- the customer's satisfaction.

Our main focus was to help others by using our skills. We did that by working with people with strong ethics and values. Running our own business gives us the opportunity of choosing who we want to work with, we wouldn't work with people who go against our life values. This gives us the option of working from home so that we can be with our family.

We focus on four main values:

- personal & good quality service: our attention to detail and broad knowledge produces quality websites that are designed especially for all our clients' needs, reflecting their business and making it personal to them;

- simple, not complex: after we understand what the project is about we begin by creating a brief and mapping a simple flow chart. We then start draughting a concept to break down the complexity of the project into manageable steps, constantly checking in with our customers to make sure we are on the right path. Then we go about transforming our ideas into a working product;

- down-to-earth transparency: you will get what you see with us! Being open and clear from the beginning is one of our musts, we keep log books detailing all our work and disclose them regularly;

- on time: being on time is part of how we operate, if we say we will do something by a certain time we will do our damnedest to complete it. But once again if circumstances do not allow for us to deliver we will honestly explain this prior to the deadline.

Yes, we can work from anywhere in the world. Our clients are located in different parts of New Zealand and Italy. Zoom and other technologies give us the opportunity of working online, remotely, and live. We can set up zoom calls or if you live close to our studio, we can set up a face-to-face appointment to discuss your project.

Services

Once we get an idea and a feel for what you would like to exhibit and portray we start the process. We will use our artistic skills to draft logo, brochures, business cards, illustrations, etc, and once we have found the ‘wow’ we wave our graphic design magic to create a professional product.

Seija studied photography early on in her multifaceted career and has a great eye for detail. With her artistic view and Francesco’s editing abilities, they produce great custom images.

Working with CMS (Wordpress & Shopify), HTML, CSS, and outsourcing we develop your ideas with the intention of creating a final product that will satisfy your expectations. As there are two of us creating for you we pay special attention to the details that will set your concept apart from others.

Francesco is adept at coding for optimal website functionality, per the client's requirements. He can create plain text pages and more complex web-based applications via WordPress & Shopify. If he can’t figure out a request he will willingly outsource in order to achieve the best possible outcome.
