We're Catherine and Andy. Graphic designers and web builders since 1994. Brands, print and books, websites, photography and the custom systems that keep an organisation running.
Talk to usWhen you work with us, you work with us. We get to know how your organisation runs, and we usually spot the thing that's quietly costing you hours before you've mentioned it.
Design, print and building the systems
Catherine was building websites in the early '90s at FutureNet, Future Publishing's new online arm, when most people had never seen one. In 1996 she built the first Penguin Books website by hand, on her own, and it won awards.
These days she designs and builds across print and web, most recently the Berry Writers' Festival portal.
Ideas, words, photography and video
Andy came over from journalism, which means he asks a lot of questions. He's a professional early-adopter and was in CSS, WordPress, mobile-first and AI-centric content before the crowd.
He's a problem-solver, and he looks after our photography and video editing.
Supervision
Attends most meetings. Has opinions about the postman.
Usually something small: a website that needs updating, a form that doesn't work.
Who does what, where the information lives, what eats up the committee's weekends.
Sometimes that's the small fix. Often it's something you hadn't thought was possible.
The same two people look after it afterwards. No hand-offs.
Spreadsheets called FINAL. Email threads nobody can follow. The one person who knows where everything is.

Most of our clients never asked for a system like this. They told us what was driving them mad, and we suggested it.
Folks who haven't been permanently online since 1986 don't often know what's possible. That's the part we're good at.

Built by Catherine, for the festival committee
The committee liked it so much they suggested other festivals should be using it.
Catherine has a gift for translating the spirit and personality of a brand into striking, cohesive design.
Nothing is ever a problem. She goes above and beyond and is collaborative on every level.
Catherine has been integral to our day-to-day operation. I could not recommend her highly enough.
We've always done both, and most jobs need both. The brochure and the website should look like they came from the same place.
We also look after domains, email and hosting, on servers we run ourselves.
People used to type a few words into Google and click through a list of links. Now Google writes an answer at the top of the page, and plenty of people skip Google and ask the assistant on their phone. Or they just ask ChatGPT or Claude or Gemini and very occasionally Copilot.
The answers they get come from websites that are clear, current and ready to be indexed by the chat engines. A tired site gets left out.
We make sure your business is in the answer.
Books, a monthly magazine and the websites we build and look after. Same two people, start to finish.
We also look after TM Safety Solutions, Homestead of Hope, Harris Environmental, Shutterstop and Venato.
Tell us what's slowing you down, even if you don't think it's a website problem. It often turns out to be something we can fix.
