Approach

We make things simple, even when they're not

We have a creative and inclusive approach to all our projects to ensure our process unlocks the best solution for you and your audience. Breaking down complex problems creatively as a team allows our diverse thinking to make informed design choices and ensure the strategic objectives of the project are always met.

We always look for the bright side in what we do

We approach projects and problems with a positive mindset and an optimistic attitude to ensure we always reach a positive outcome. Our goal is to always find the right solution to a problem without compromising on the quality of our output or losing sight of the project goals.

Forged in the UK, based everywhere

We do most of our work from a design studio just outside Hitchin, UK, but remote working is always on the cards if it yields more creativity. We also work with a network of awesome people around the world so we can pool the best thinking to take an idea from an exciting conversation to a futureproof identity that resonates with our clients and their customers. 

Our Clients

We work with entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, mavericks and game changers across a range of industries, wherever they call home. Our clients are passionate and motivated by the cause that underpins their values and it’s a joy to play a part in their journey to the top. 

We are proud members of 1% For The Planet. This commitment ensures we donate at least 1% of our gross sales to incredibly valuable causes each year, all around the world. 

Our goal is to leave the planet a better place than we found it wherever possible, this is one of the ways we’re trying to honour this pledge.

A bloody lovely bunch of creatives

Laura Ockenden
Web Development

Laura’s career has found her working with student organisations, charities and elephants (honestly), across a range of digital tools and platforms. We’re yet to find an idea for a web build that Laura isn’t able to bring to life.

A HTML, CSS and Javascript superstar, Laura’s creative background brings a rare bonus to a developer’s skillset - she cares about aesthetics as much as clever coding. This means our websites are beautiful and functional, but the thing that is easily missed by other teams - ours are easy to use too.

FAQs

There are lots of things to consider when exploring a new brand identity or launching a new website. We have gathered some frequently asked questions here to help.

If you still have questions, send a quick message

We design logos, brand narratives, websites, digital products, launch campaigns and so much more. We specialise in taking our clients through the first or second leap up in their business growth. This might be the first logo or a rebrand to cement the direction and growth of the business in its first 5 years.

We don’t have a fixed pricing structure for a logo or branding project because every project requires something different. What is right for someone else, might not be right for you.

If you want to drop us an email with some information about your business or project, we can get back to you with a guide to the packages we deliver most frequently and send through pricing that is more tailored to you.

Definitely. We’re proud to shout about the work we create at Contour and we love that our clients are too. Drop us a message and we’ll introduce you.

At the end of each year, we choose which charities to support and we select and allocate our donations to causes that are close to the hearts of our team. 

This past year we supported Surfers Against Sewage, a grassroots charity based in the UK, dedicated to the protection of the ocean, waves, beaches and wildlife.

Yes, we have been doing this for a while so we know how to guide a project through a process that gets the best results. It usually starts with lots of questions!

We understand that whilst our process is key to yield the best solution, we keep it intentionally flexible to ensure it’s tailored to each client. No two projects are the same, so whilst each project goes through the process of discovery, research, development, execution and deployment, every one follows a slightly different route through to completion.

  • We wont cut corners.
  • Promise things we can’t deliver.
  • Work in Wix, and Divi is like a swear word in the studio.
  • Work with businesses that actively take from the planet without giving more back.

We craft bespoke solutions to your needs so we can of course adapt our process if you’ve already got things you want to keep. We may advise you about opportunities to add more value but the choice is yours if you want to proceed.

We’re all about getting it done right, not rushed. We’ll first have a discovery call to understand what you need before we settle on a timeline. Though for example, a 5-page responsive website on average would take 4 weeks from start to finish (This can vary a lot though).

Contour isn’t VAT registered so there is no need to pay VAT on our prices. This is the bonus of working with a smaller team rather than a larger agency.

Of course. With the blessings of the internet and all it offers, we have successfully worked with clients in Europe and across the US. We’d love to add more countries to the list! Where are you based?

We’d love some time to get to know you, your business, ideas, and pain points. Every project starts with a chat, either on the phone or face-to-face. So drop us a message, and we’ll get that booked in.
