How We Help
We’re a communications agency with a difference. We know strategy – we like to call it ‘thinking first’. We ‘join up the dots’ for our clients, taking a holistic approach to your business and organisation needs, helping small business owners and charities to manage their communications, marketing and change.
We don’t confuse you, or charge you for ‘stuff’ you don’t need. We create great websites that work for not-for-profits, SME’s, entrepreneurs making them easy for you to update wherever you are. We work at your pace and flexibility is our middle name.
The thinking part
Small businesses and charities have one thing in common – passionate people with limited time and money to do everything they need to. We totally get that – which means our solutions are designed for your organisation.
Business systems
Every organisation, no matter the size, needs some basic systems. If you need help setting up business systems and using software like Microsoft 365 or other tools the options can be overwhelming – that’s where we can help with affordable advice designed to give you what you need and can manage.
The virtuous circle
If the thought of managing your social media channels fills you with dread – we can help. Avoid expensive agency fees by creating a ‘virtuous circle’ of content. We’ll show you how organising your business systems can ease the burden of creating great content.
Small and perfectly formed websites for business
We develop websites for small business owners with little or no time to manage them. No bells or whistles you can’t handle, just a site that represents what you do really well.
Confused?
Domain names? CRM? GDPR? Hosting companies? Web design agencies? SEO? Content creation? Marketing planning?
Not-for-Profit websites
You know its not working, but you don’t know how to fix it all and to add to the pressure – you need it done quickly – bidding for funding, donation drive, major event coming up, raising your profile. Relax – we’ve got you.
How We Work
Business change made simple
Every organisation, whether it’s a multinational or a small business owner with a team of two, has to change something at sometime.
Every organisation is different, and we will always give you a detailed quote so you decide.
01
We agree what help you need with your not-for-profit organisation or business. The agreement includes the timeframe, cost and outcomes. You pay one third of the cost of the consultancy at the start. If you change your mind within 14 days of starting the consultancy, we’ll return the payment minus 15% for our administration costs and time.
02
We start working together. If you’re happy with the work, half-way through the work, you’ll be invoiced for another third of the total cost.
03
Once we’ve finished, we invoice you for the final cost of the work. Simple!
