WHAT TO EXPECT

 

Design services are individually tailored to each project and each client, but as a rule all follow a similar process:

 

1 Brief Generation

  • During a design project, it’s vital healthy dialogue is maintained. So, to start as we mean to go on; armed with a good cuppa coffee, we begin with a chat. A design brief containing instructions and deliverables is then produced. The brief is used as a guide and is referred to many times throughout a project.

2 Research and Planning

  • An essential but often overlooked part of the design process is the discovery phase. A clear understanding of you, your product, your customers and competition must be grasped.

  • Design when used effectively is a powerful business tool and will attract people to your brand. Effective design is both research-based and focussed on delivering the message in the best possible way.

  • From the research findings a mood board is generated; a collation of design styles from relevant third-party sources. Mood boards enable some quick yes/no answers, helping to establish an agreed direction for the next phase.

3 Creative Graphic Design

  • Initially one to three design concepts are produced. After discussion we select the concept which best answers the brief. Revision, amend, tweak, tweak, approve, sign-off.

TESTIMONIALS

"Making our vision
come to life."

 

Loved working with Kanoa! Kandarp was super responsive, always helpful and extremely easy to work with — I really appreciate the time he takes in explaining everything to me and make sure I was comfortable with all designs he produced. I highly recommend Kandarp and his design skills!

 

Lawrence Peachey - UK Sales Manager, Fred.\ Olsen

"Designs that get results."

"Kanoa paid attention
to every details."

 

Finding a first rate designer is challenging for any business. I was extremely fortunate to find to Kandarp to create an online and offline brand for our business. The communication during the entire process was superb and it was obvious that they were interested in developing a long-term relationship with us. Kandarp payed attention to every detail of our design, layout, colour pallet, branding and presentation. He's communication and response time was excellent and he welcomed our input and patiently
heard all our concerns or recommendations. We would use Kandarp's services again to manage out site updates, and to create new features. I highly recommend Kanoa for your business!

"I would highly recommend Kanoa if you need any help with your online presence."

 

“I am a portrait artist and asked Kandarp to set up a website for me to showcase my paintings and advertise for commissions. I have no technology acumen but Kandarp totally understood this and patiently explained everything in a way I could follow easily. We worked together extremely well, as Kandarp was excellent at suggesting ideas but would always listen to mine and take them on board. It was a very easy and smooth experience for me, which I didn’t expect due to my lack of knowledge in this field. I would highly recommend Kanoa if you need any help with your online presence. He is friendly, professional and courteous. I immediately got hits on my website and have had several commissions as a result of it. Thank you Kandarp, there’s no way I could have done it without you!”

 

Maureen Peachey - Portrait Artist

"Thank you Kandarp, there's no way I could have done it without you!"

"All our work looks great! I have to say to Kanoa, you have interpreted our brand really well,
a lot better than other people we've been working with!"
