What’s Holding You Back?

“People don’t really ‘get’ what we do.”

If your visuals and messaging aren’t landing, it’s probably not you — it’s your branding. We’ll clarify your story so customers can easily understand (and remember) what makes you different.

“Our brand feels dated or inconsistent.”

Your brand should inspire trust, not doubt. We’ll craft an identity that’s polished, consistent, and fully aligned with who you are and what you offer.

“We don’t have time for a complicated process.”

Good news: neither do we. Our process is built for busy humans — simple steps, clear communication, and no agency fluff.

“Agencies feel impersonal and overpriced.”

We’re not a faceless agency - just two people, decades of combined experience, and a genuine interest in making your business shine.

“We’ve outgrown our DIY logo.”

DIY gets the job done — until it doesn’t. We’ll help you take the next step to upgrading your visuals so they actually match your quality, ambition, and where your business is headed.

“We don’t know what we actually need.”

You bring the business goals; we’ll translate them into the right digital tools, without overcomplicating things. Simple as that.

Something Else?

(enquire for pricing)

Not every brand project calls for a full overhaul.
‍

We can also mix and match our package inclusions to suit — tell us what’s missing, and we’ll create the fix.

Get In Touch

our process

Hands typing on a laptop and looking at a phone with post-it notes on the side

Chat

Step one is simple — we talk. You, us, some caffeine (or hops), and a sense check that we’re on the same page.

Plan

Next, we’ll send through a proposal. If you’re keen, you’ll get a welcome pack that explains how everything works, plus a deposit invoice to lock things in.

design & build

We roll up our sleeves and get to work. Most of the magic happens on our side, but you’ll get regular updates and designs to review as we go.

launch

After polishing and testing, it’s go time. We’ll launch your shiny new brand or website and walk you through the essentials so you’re confident running the show from here.

handover

Once we’ve launched, we don’t just disappear. Some of our website packages come with 3 months of our care plan, and if you need ongoing SEO or extra design work later on, we’re up for it. And if something pops up down the line, you can always give us a call or flick us an email.

For over a year, Stage One has helped my new law firm (Clean Break) with everything we need designed: our logo, style guide (including brand colours), window wrapping, email signature design, business cards, client hand-outs, letterhead, templates and a 58 page booklet. I'm sure there are other things I missed as well - I give them work constantly because I am always impressed at what I get back.

I constantly get feedback and compliments on the work Stage One has produced for Clean Break. Before find them I felt quite overwhelmed as a business owner without much skills in this area. Now things are so easy as I can tap into their expertise whenever needed.

faqs

What exactly is included in your branding packages?

Each package is built to give you the essentials you actually need: strategy, logo variants, colour palettes, typography, and practical brand assets. If you need something custom, we can tailor the package to suit.

Will I need to purchase anything extra?

Most of the time, no. If you need specific licensed fonts or additional add-ons (like illustration, motion, or product packaging), we’ll let you know upfront so there are zero surprises.

Can you use parts of my existing brand?

Absolutely. If there’s something you love — a colour, a symbol, an idea — we can evolve it. And if you want a full clean slate, we can do that too.

Will I get files I can actually use?

Yes! You’ll receive all logo formats, colour codes, and usable file types, plus a brand guide that explains when and how to use everything.

Will I be able to update things myself?

Definitely. Your brand will come with clear guidelines so you or your team can create content confidently. And if you ever want templates or ongoing help, we’re here for that too.

How long will the process take?

Depending on scope, branding can take anywhere from 2–4 weeks, or longer for larger projects. If you’re doing branding + website, it’s usually 4–8 weeks from start to finish. See more about our Website Packages here.

Do you offer a payment plan?

Yes — projects are invoiced in four stages, starting with a 25% deposit to secure your spot, with the final balance due before handover.

How much work will I have to do?

We keep things easy. We’ll need your input early on — things like your goals, audience, and preferences — then we take it from there.

Can you write our brand messaging and taglines too?

Yes — copywriting is included in our branding packages. We’ll help you refine your voice, message, and the words people actually see.

What if we’re not sure what we actually need?

That's totally normal! We’ll chat through where your business is at, what’s working, and what’s not — then recommend the right direction (without adding things you don’t need).
