How we work with
Manchester businesses.
Manchester's tech and creative sector, MediaCity, Ancoats, NOMA, Spinningfields, is one of the fastest-growing outside London, and moves faster than most London agency pricing allows. We work remote-first with Manchester clients on Astro and Next.js builds, usually starting in week two of the brief. UK phone number, GDPR-compliant, serving UK businesses since 2018, the operational side reads the same as an in-office Manchester agency without the overhead priced into the quote. Kickoffs on Google Meet; async daily check-ins on Slack; milestone calls weekly.
Manchester graphic-design demand peaks around the city's conference and event calendar, MediaCity tech meetups, the Northern Restaurant & Bar show, festival season at Castlefield. We turn brochure, signage and merchandise design around in 5–7 days with print-ready CMYK files, and we know which Manchester printers (Solopress, Northend, B&D) accept which formats.
We design graphic design for founders and marketing leads in Manchester who want senior attention without the big-agency bill. Fixed scope, fixed price, written proposal before any commitment. Same team, same process, same 14-day-payout quality standard whether you're in Manchester or anywhere else we ship.

Common questions.
Do you work with Manchester startups specifically?
Yes, a meaningful share of our UK book is Manchester-based. We default to Astro and Next.js builds for the fast-moving MediaCity, Ancoats and NOMA clusters because Core Web Vitals matter more for cost-per-click economics there than brand polish does.
How fast can you start a Manchester project?
Typical kickoff is week 2 after signed proposal. We hold one fast-start slot per month (usually reserved for Manchester and London clients with time-critical launches), flag the deadline on the discovery call and we'll tell you honestly whether we can hit it.
Can you work with our existing Manchester brand team?
Often, yes, we frequently deliver as the build partner for Manchester-based brand studios that win the strategy work and need a reliable implementation team. White-label arrangements available on the Partner Programme's International track.
How much does graphic design cost in the UK in 2026?
Realistic 2026 ranges from a credible UK studio: business cards £150–£300, flyers £200–£450, brochures £450–£1,200 (depending on page count), pitch decks £50–£100 per slide, packaging £550–£1,500 per SKU. Anything under £100 for a logo or £50 for a brochure is a stock template with the colours swapped. Our pricing sits in the honest middle of these ranges with files print-ready and source-editable in the same handover · no charging twice for "the print version" and "the digital version" of the same artwork.
Are your files print-ready for a UK / Sri Lanka printer?
Yes · CMYK colour mode, 3mm bleed standard (5mm for large format), 300dpi raster, fonts outlined or supplied, a colour-bar proof PDF for the printer to match against. We test files with the specific printer where possible (Solopress, Northend, Print Lounge, Ananda, etc.) so there are no surprises when the job hits the press. Source files (Illustrator / InDesign) are included on request so your team can update text without re-engaging us.
Do you handle pitch decks for fundraising or sales?
Yes · pitch decks are one of our most-requested specialist briefs. We design in Figma or PowerPoint depending on which your team will edit, with a clean type system, real data visualisations (not generic stock charts), and an editable template so your team can add slides without rebuilding the design. Standard turnaround 7–10 days; £50–£80 per slide depending on complexity.
What software do you work in?
Figma for most things, Illustrator + InDesign for heavy print, After Effects for motion. We deliver in whatever format you need.
Do you do motion/video?
Light motion, logo reveals, social video templates, simple animations. For anything bigger we partner with a motion studio.
Can you match an existing brand?
Absolutely. Send us guidelines, fonts and past examples, we'll design within them.
Are source files included?
Figma files, yes, always. Native Illustrator/InDesign source files are an extra £150 on one-off projects, included in retainers.
