RGB versus CMYK
Images need to be prepared specially for print to get the best out of them and this is another one for our “Why you shouldn’t get your web designer to produce your printed stuff – unless they know what they’re doing” post, we haven’t written yet.
Retail Displays
If you have a retail presence, we can help you get the most from your displays. Using the latest technology, you can review and explore how your completed displays will look in store before a single change is made.
Portfolio
If you're looking for something specific that you don't see, there's a good chance we have a relevant example, so why not get in touch and we can get something over to you.
Design for Screen
Getting the right message online is vital to deliver business benefits. Your website is a window into your company that the whole world looks into. Get it wrong, and you’ll have wasted your money.
Integrated Marketing Communications
To compete in today's economy you need to take a 360º view of your marketing. Whilst you're working to attract customers with a direct mail campaign, your competitors may have already swept up those orders with their new ecommerce site.
We do ‘do words’!
Some designers say, "We don't 'do words'!" At brace, we do 'do words'! because crafting the right words is essential in communicating your message.
Branding and Identity
We’ll advise you on positioning your brand in the market and by developing familiarity, trust and loyalty through design, we’ll ensure that your brand gets noticed, and we’ll create a point of difference over your competitors.
HELLO
Ever had the feeling you can hear the faint ‘ker-CHING’ of cash registers when you’re talking to some other agencies? We certainly have.
At brace, our approach is built on long term relationships, not short term profit. We provide professional design services at realistic prices, but we can also support our clients with a wealth of professional experience and expertise.
As Daft Punk might say, we design “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” websites.

We’re spending more and more time in the clouds at the moment
Not with our heads in the clouds obviously – we’re creative but very practical thinkers at brace!
But we’re increasingly using cloud technology for completing our own work, collaborating with clients, sending and receiving files, storage, and most recently – hosting!
We’ve used most of the leading hosting companies in the UK over the years and have had mixed experiences. Technical support can be patchy, sites can load slowly sometimes and we are always looking to source better value for money for our clients.
So, this month we have signed up for a big chunk of our own cloud and can now host our client’s site very cost-effectively.
Now we can receive lightening-fast technical support and were shocked how quickly our initial questions were dealt with.
We’ve also been blown away by the speed of the sites we’ve migrated to the cloud – a breath of fresh air for us – and more importantly, for our clients.
However, as the parable of the cobbler’s shoes might lead to you to guess, we haven’t migrated our own site to the cloud yet, so we can’t speak for how quickly this page loaded, but why not get in touch and we can show you some blistering examples!
If you come back next month, and the studio dogs don’t take up too much of our production time with their appetite for walkies, this site will probably be zipping along too.
Whatever questions you might have about any sort of cloud (well, technological ones anyway), please do get in touch, because we can certainly help you get your head in the clouds.
Not for nothing Suppliers by .
You’ve probably seen our client testimonials displayed prominently on our site.
This is because we really care what our clients think and because we think new clients are interested in that too.
We use FreeIndex for collating the testimonials we receive – so people can see we’re not just making them up!
Do you have a free account with FreeIndex? If not, why not?
Virtually every business we can think of would benefit. They rank extremely well in Google – which means that if you gain a good ranking with FreeIndex you’ll rank well in Google too!
After approaching just some of our most loved regular clients we managed to achieve a ranking of 17th out of 3523 for graphic designers in the UK (as at September 2011).
