Web design and development
Our focus is on your overall online presence. The core of that is a website supported by other forms of online publishing including social media. We build elegant, user-friendly and affordable sites. Using open source, community-supported applications, we get you up and running so you can manage and add content to your site when you need to. Here’s our tip sheet on how we design and develop your site.

- • magazines and newsletters

Publication design seminars
Our Powerpoint presentation, Page By Page: How to do design, features a hundred slides covering all aspects of designing a print publication. Working Design principal, Kris Klaasen, delivers three versions of the seminar:
- • a day-long workshop,
- • a half-day presentation or
- • a 90-minute version
Communications audit
We review your communications strategy and your array of communications materials individually and in relation to each other. Does your strategy effectively support your marketing goals and your organization’s purpose and mission? We’ll identify any gaps and offer suggestions on how to fill them.
Website audit
We review all aspects of your site from content assessment to Search Engine Optimization. Using web analytics we’ll see how your site is being used – or not. We’ll identify areas that could be improved, added or deleted.
Publications audit
We provide a thorough review of your newsletter, newspaper or magazine and related print materials. Using a 50-point questionnaire we analyse all parts of your publications from design to content.
Books, book covers, report and manual design and production
From the cover through to the insides, we handle long projects with creative design and superior project management.
