Evolve
< Back to servicesIntroducing Evolve, an innovative new service providing websites that just get better and better. Through one simple monthly fee you get a custom website designed, built, hosted, maintained and updated through monthly updates. With the rapid rate of change in a modern business, the world of the web and social media, this means your website can now evolve to keep up with your business and your customers.
Websites are changing
No longer is a website a small part of a company's marketing tool-kit; it is now the primary tool for a company to communicate with its customers and attract new ones. What's more, a website is no longer an item that you can refresh every two or three years. These days a website should be constantly changing to keep up with developments in your business, your marketplace and how your customers choose to communicate.
Now you can keep up
Our new Evolve service means we take care of any changes to your website. All you need to do is get in touch and we'll make the change for you. Launching a new product that you want to add to your website? No problem. Started communicating with your customers using twitter and want to integrate a twitter feed into your website? Again, no problem. Want to add a blog to your website to enable better communication and improved SEO? You guessed it, no problem!
Keep up with new technologies
The rate of change in the world of social networks (for example twitter, facebook & LinkedIn) and the emergence of new technologies (for example Geolocation Services such as Google Places or foursquare) means your customers have an ever increasing choice in how they communicate. Evolve now enables you to keep up. Through regular or even unlimited updates you can now embrace new technologies as they become available, and even remove them as they become redundant.
Unlimited updates
A company's website should be a key tool in their marketing tool-kit. Sadly the potentially complicated process of making updates to a website or the charges that can come from having updates made, can be a major obstacle in how a company communicates with it's customers and prospects. One of the beauties of the Evolve service is that by offering regular or even unlimited updates that are covered within one simple monthly fee, clients can be freed to make regular updates to their website with confidence and without fear of potentially expensive costs.
First-class support
We pride ourselves on providing a five-star service and first-class support. When you sign-up to one of our Evolve packages you'll be introduced to your personal Account Manager, meaning you can relax in the knowledge that we're only ever a phone call (or an email) away. You'll be able to ask us questions, ask how your website can help with business challenges and even ask us for the latest ideas from the world of the web. What's more, if you want to arrange a face to face meeting at our studio, that's no problem at all (just give us some notice so we can get some tasty biscuits in!).
All for one simple monthly fee
All our Evolve packages come with a simple monthly fee. This means you can relax in the knowledge that your website costs are fixed and predictable. Our packages simply vary depending on how many updates you're likely to be making each month. If you're not sure, don't worry, you can always start on a basic package and upgrade if you need to.

All shapes and sizes...
We start all brochure projects by discussing the reason for creating the brochure with you, including the specific job the brochure needs to do.

Exhibition Banners

Branding
< Back to servicesThe branding of your company is critical to its success. From your company logo, choice of typeface, company colours or even tone of voice, every element of your brand should be carefully considered and coordinated to give the right image to your company.
Our branding service ensures you'll get a brand that you'll love, but more importantly, one that communicates all the right messages to your customers.
Your target market:
Before we start any project, but particularly a branding project, we work hard to understand your target market. Doing this enables us to understand who your brand is aiming to communicate with, and start to reveal the messages that should be communicated.
Your messages:
The messages that your brand portrays have an effect, both on a conscious and a sub-conscious level, on your customers and their actions. From the style of logo and the feeling it gives to the choice of colour or typeface, all elements should be carefully considered to reinforce your brand values.
Our processes:
We employ proven processes to ensure that we create the right brand for you and your customers. We start by listening, researching and analysing. Only then can we begin to create your new brand. We then work through a number of design stages, at each phase reviewing, discussing and refining the options.
How much does it cost?
Our branding service starts at £695 and can include items such as: Full colour logo (both positive and negative versions), Greyscale logo, Black only logo, White only logo, choice of typeface, colour palette and favicon design. We can also create brand guideline documents to ensure your brand is consistently applied wherever it's used.
How long does it take?
The branding process can take as little as two weeks, although we would always rather spend a little longer on a project and create something great than rush a project and create something average. We ensure you're involved in the process from start to finish, ensuring you're 100% happy with the end result.
Are we any good?
We like to think so. To see some examples of our branding service simply click on one of the projects below, or to see some of the kind things our clients have said about us, simply take a look at our Testimonials section.
Email Marketing

Finally, our software helps you to see who opened your emails, how many times they've been opened and even which links they've clicked. See below to find out more.
Why use email marketing?
Email marketing uses email as a tool to market your business to your customers or prospects. It allows you to keep in touch with existing customers, or market your products or services to a new audience, cheaply and effectively. By creating interesting, engaging and attractive email marketing campaigns, you can massively increase the effectiveness of your marketing over regular email.
How does it work?
Using Custom Studio for your email marketing couldn't be simpler. We'll start by discussing how you'd like to use the template, the job it needs to do and the people you're planning to send it to. We'll then design an email template that will do the job perfectly. Once you're 100% happy with the design, we'll then create an account for you in our cloud based email marketing system, allowing you to log in from anywhere to create, send and manage campaigns.
How much does it cost?
Our email marketing template design service starts at just £495. You then have the freedom to create as many campaigns as you like using your custom template. Campaigns cost as little as £10 per campaign and £0.01p per recipient. For example, a campaign to 1,000 recipients would cost you just £20. Please see below for examples of email marketing templates we've created for our clients.

Online Client Area
When we start a website project for a new client, we create an online space just for them. Using this on-line area allows us to keep clients informed of the progress of the project, gives a platform for comment and gives a place to present your new website before it goes live.
A step-by-step process
We break all website projects down into bite size chunks. Whether it's the sitemap, wireframe, design, build or CMS, splitting the project into stages allows us, and importantly the client, to focus totally on each part of the project, producing great results.
How long does it take?
With all projects, we aim to allow sufficient time to produce the best end result. We also welcome and encourage dialogue with our clients, consulting them at every stage of the project. Before starting any project we'll agree a project schedule, meaning your website is created on-time.
Can we make updates?
All our websites come with a Content Management System (CMS). This means that our clients have the freedom to make changes and updates to their websites whenever they choose. This also means our clients have the ability to keep their website content fresh.
How much does it cost?
Due to the huge amount of possibilities available when creating a new website, before quoting a price we ask that clients fill out our simple Project Planner by clicking on the 'Get me a quote' button below. This means we can then send you an accurate project proposal.
