Design work that differentiates.

Newsletter design case study
UnBarred is a micro brewery based in Brighton & Hove that sends a newsletter to its mailing list every week. We redesigned it to match their website branding and work well in mobile inboxes, with clear instructions so their team can keep it up to date.

Frequently asked questions
How much does graphic design cost?
Design work is charged at £50 per hour. Before starting we’ll give you an estimate of hours, and we’ll let you know straight away if the scope changes. The hourly rate covers design only; printing is extra.
What’s included in the hourly rate?
All of the design work: briefing, concepts, revisions and preparing print-ready files. You only pay for the time we spend.
Is printing included in the price?
No. The hourly rate covers design work only. Printing, paper stock, finishes and delivery are extra, either paid to your printer directly or passed on at cost if we arrange it. Time spent liaising with a printer on your behalf is charged as design time.
Are stock images and fonts included?
If your design needs a licensed stock photo or font, the licence fee is extra and passed on at cost. We’ll always check with you first, and suggest free alternatives where they work just as well.
How long does a business card or flyer take?
As a guide, a business card usually takes one to three hours and a single-sided flyer two to four, including a round of revisions. Brochures and newsletters depend on the number of pages. Your estimate will give you a clear figure.
Do you provide print-ready files?
Yes. You’ll get print-ready PDFs set up with the correct size, bleed and colour settings for your printer, plus the editable source files.
Can you work with my existing logo and brand?
Yes. We’ll follow your existing brand guidelines, or if your logo only exists as a low-quality image we can recreate it as a sharp vector file.
How many revisions are included?
Because we charge by the hour, there’s no fixed limit. Your estimate allows for a round or two of changes, and we’ll tell you if further revisions would take you over it.
Do you work with clients outside Brighton & Hove?
Yes. We’re happy to meet in person locally, and we work with clients across the UK by email and video call.
Brett, COO at UnBarred Brewery said this:
We’ve been working with Ben on an ad-hoc basis to help fix issues, improve user experience, tweak design and functionality to help make the experience better for our customers. Ben has been great at communicating, ideas, explaining and why how things need to be done and create easy to use guides if we or anyone else ever needs to revisit the work that has been done.
