Designpix Ltd.

Ecommerce and brochure sites from a Yorkshire design team

Designpix is a team of graphic designers and website developers working from Selby in North Yorkshire. It describes itself as a specialist in ecommerce websites and says it also helps new businesses get started, with graphic design services running alongside the web work. Its stated customers range from a start-up needing a first logo to an established company that wants printed literature or a full online shop.

Three kinds of website

The studio divides its web work into three types, each built to respond to mobile and tablet screens as well as desktops.

• Ecommerce sites for online shops, run on an ecommerce platform the studio calls tried and tested.
• Content-managed sites, where the owner can edit pages personally, at any time and from anywhere, instead of asking the designers for each change.
• Static brochure sites that adapt to mobile devices, suited to businesses that only need to present their services.

The studio says it designs these for businesses in every industry sector, with each design made to suit the client rather than drawn from a single template.

Logos, start-up packages and print

Logo design is where the studio suggests many projects begin, and it offers four logo options pitched at different budgets. For new businesses it assembles start-up packages as a starting point, bringing together a logo with other elements such as stationery and a website. It points out that every start-up differs and that the packages are a guide rather than a fit for every customer. For larger, established companies it produces corporate and promotional literature in print.

Where it works and how it describes its approach

Designpix serves clients in Selby, York, Leeds and Hull, across Yorkshire and throughout the UK. The studio lists a handful of principles on its site: it listens to what the client needs and proposes a solution that sits within an agreed budget; it aims to finish projects as quickly as it can; it says it sorts out any early problems promptly; and it describes itself as only satisfied when the client is satisfied. It also says design is something it loves and that this drives it to produce bespoke work.

The design lead handling most client contact has a background of several years of higher education in design followed by over ten years working in the industry, covering conceptual work, layout, logos and front-end website design. The current page on the site describes the team more briefly, as a creative graphic design group in Yorkshire that combines ideas, design and practical thinking to build smart solutions for businesses and independent projects.
