Services
Design
Graphic design is a problem-solving process, one that requires substantial creativity, innovation, and technical expertise. We take pride in delivering innovative, quality-controlled projects within budget and on time.
Copywriting, editing and indexing
We work with a selection of professional writers and editors to ensure your documents are written, copy-edited and indexed in accordance with the Australian Government style manual.
Photography
Pictures are worth a thousand words, so we only engage with the best professional photographers to get your message across. If you are providing your own photos, please ensure they are not only high quality but also convey the right message for your brand.
Print Management
Both our Studio Manager and Managing Director have over 20 years’ experience working for paper companies, print companies, and design agencies. We’ve built strong supplier relationships across the country and can coordinate print production to extremely tight timeframes ensuring that the print stage is error free and runs smoothly.
Websites
It’s simple! We’re local… or at least in Australia, and we make well designed, functional websites. We approach every website as a design project, as the majority of your customers will value the professional look and feel of your site, rather than the kind of coding and platform used to create it. Our team of web designers/developers will work with you to build a site specific to your needs, from simple flat HTML to custom CSS, PHP and JS you’re in great hands.
Domain Name Registration
Having a domain name that reflects your business name and what you do is an important part of looking professional. We can help you search online and register your business domain name through our own domain registration service.
Website and Email Hosting
You will need an Australian Business Number (ABN) to register a .com.au domain. Once you’ve registered your business domain we can also help you select a suitable hosting package through our website hosting service.
Search Engine Optimisation
We’ll do the technical work behind the scenes, but also guide you through the process of providing website content that will improve your sites’ visibility when people search for products or services related to your business in Google, Bing, and other search engines.
Accessibility
Mention accessibility and most designers will turn and run. But we’re happy to provide premium document conversion services for publishing to WCAG compliant accessible PDF, DOC, ePUB and HTML files. We’ve become the go to studio for both government clients and other designers to meet their accessibility requirements. Whether it’s a current document, or a whole back catalogue of information on your website, we can help.
Alternative Text Descriptions
When you’re authoring a document or content for a website, don’t forget to write and provide ‘alt text’ for each image or photograph. This written explanation of what is shown in each image helps screen-reading tools describe images to visually impaired readers and allows search engines to better crawl and rank your website.
Accessibility Checkers
Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat have built in Accessibility Checkers which can help you test and correct many of the common issues we find in documents that need to be accessible. These are a great start, however automated checkers cannot test all possible issues hence our staff have done a lot of research and training in accessibility techniques and standards.
Colour Contrast
One of the main issues we find is having a bad colour contrast when using coloured text and figures or graphs. The contrast ratio helps determine whether or not the contrast between foreground and background colour combinations can be read by people with colour blindness or other visual impairments.
Branding
We love helping people create or redefine their business, organisation, or campaign. Just like houses or buildings, successful brands are built on strong foundations. Foundations are important as they ensure that you have a solid platform to start from. To set up for success, it’s important to build a strong foundation by knowing who you are and what you stand for.
Brand Workshop
We conduct brand workshops to confirm your business’s or organisations goals, vision and purpose, your core values (what you stand for), your personality, your customers’ needs and wants and how you stack up against your competitors.
Brand Positioning
Brand positioning paints a picture of what you’re promising. It gives context and relevance to your service over your competitors. This is also known as a tagline or a strapline and is what everyone will see in the context of your brand’s communication.
Visual Branding
Your visual brand is all the design elements that show who we are and what we stand for. It includes your logo, colours, graphics, typography, words, and imagery.
Video and Animation
Video is a fantastic tool to hook your audience. Unlike a long-winded text paragraph, video is extremely easy to consume. We can help you create short, concise videos that will capture viewers’ interest instantly.
Filming
Video footage needs to look the part, and so we only engage with renowned cinematographers and photographers who will capture your vision as authentically as possible. Do you need help with creative direction before filming? We can be your creative springboard to get you on the road to filming.
Animation
Graphics aren’t static anymore, so we’re embracing the path of motion as a tool to captivate and attract the eyes of your client-base. Be it logos, illustrations, infographics or even photos of your graffiti, a touch of animation gives your graphics that extra punch they need to engage your audience.
Post Production
So, you’ve got your footage captured, what now? We can handle the full Post Production process, from colour correction and audio balancing to lower thirds and video transitions. We’ll make sure the final product has a professional finish that makes you look the part.
Digital Marketing
Having a great website is one thing, but you still need to get people to find you. With the power of digital marketing, we can target your message to the people you want, when you want.
MailChimp Marketing
We’re experts with MailChimp and can design and install custom branded email templates so you can send the right messages to the right people. We can run the whole campaign for you, or just get you setup to do it yourself.
Google Ads
Your ad could appear on Google at the very moment someone is looking for products or services like yours. A well-timed ad can turn people into valuable customers. We’ve got the knowledge to design the right images and get your Google Ad account running smoothly.
Facebook Ads
Facebook is an easy and powerful way to reach your audience. We can help design and run your Facebook campaigns and advice on defining the audience you’d like to reach, choosing your ad placements, determining a budget and setting a schedule.
