Job Reviews on PPH

by Brandon C on 21 May 2012

Excellent job. Paul really does know his stuff. Will be using him again for any future logos or art work.

This is the first stage of the project we are currently doing with Paul, and the quality of work is excellent.

by Sarah S on 13 Mar 2012

I am really pleased with the logo Paul created. He worked with my original idea and also gave me lots of new different ideas too. Ended up choosing one of Paul's designs. He worked really quickly and was flexible with my changes and requests!

Work Experience

SERVICES

For me business is about providing an honest, personal and quality service, delivering 100% satisfaction and building trusting relationships that stand the test of time. My philosophy is simple; I say what I do and I do what I say.

Good design isn't just about making something look pretty, it's about communicating the right values, aspirations, and the right voice to the intended audience. Starting out with good design is like giving your child the best possible start in life.

Sure, bad design can look pretty on paper, but made without thought or reason and it may target the wrong demographic, give off negative messages or just confuse the audience. These are things every business owner wants to avoid, but unfortunately it's what a lot of them get without really realising it.

A good designer will approach each job from an artistic sense, as well as (if not more so) from a commercially viable sense, and I think that's the one thing that separates good design from bad, and good business from bad business.

As a designer, my pleasure often comes weeks, months or even years after a project has been completed. It's only then that we can both look back and see what a positive difference good design has made to their business.
Brand Identity

A brand is a visual shortcut to who you or what your company is. Your brand will establish your corporate identity and credibility. A Brand Identity is about developing your name and brand into something that suits and benefits your company. A visual identity designed by sneakypeek.com will also help you maintain a consistent image across all your media and advertising.
Print & Graphic Design

I create striking, easy-to-read, print and graphic design work. Whether you want a few business cards, or if you want an entire new set of stationary designed, printed and delivered, I can look after you. I also offer an extensive design service including:

* Email templates to suite all occasions
* Office stationery for all business types
* Advertisements, leaflets and flyers for events or promotions
* Presentation folders / brochures for corporate clients
* Catalogues for retail clients
* Point of sale

Website Design & Redesign

Whether your company needs a new site built from the 'ground up', a bespoke content management system integrated to help keep on top of news and updates, a basic design 'refresh,' or just a few pages to get started, I am ready to help.
Consultancy

Is your website underperforming? In a tough economic climate its important that all of your marketing efforts be as effective as possible. Thats why I provide an evaluation on your current site based on the following criteria with suggestions on how it could be improved:

1. Initial Impressions
2. Overall Aesthetics
3. Functionality
4. Accessibility
5. Core Message

The results are then delivered in an comprehensive PDF. To find out more about my Consultancy Service please dont hesitate to contact me.
Microsites for Small Businesses

Do you need a functional web presence that delivers your brand to a worldwide audience but on a small budget? A microsite is the perfect solution, it delivers a strong consistent brand message with a unique design and focused content.

A microsite consists of up to 3 pages designed and developed for your brand, which can be maintained by me or you can choose to have a Content Management System (CMS) installed so you can update it yourself. To find out more about my Microsite package contact me.
Standards Compliant Development

All of my sites and projects are built with well structured XHTML and CSS, ensuring proper display on all the major browsers and easy extendibility. I use structured semantic code and the latest tools and techniques, ensuring your project is fresh.
Discrete Contracting for Agencies

I work with several design companies and agencies as their "go-to" freelancer. I love working with talented people in forward thinking companies, if this sounds like you and you have an overflow of work then contact me. and lets talk. I provide both design and coding services, from delivering PSD's to building entire sites and blog themes, just ask.
Website Maintenance & Monitoring

You have a website but it hasnt been updated in well...forever, not only does this make your business look bad it actually puts visitors off! If you're planning to update your website's content frequently, I will recommend including a Content Management System (CMS) to your website so that you can perform the updates yourself. However if your time is better spent concentrating on your business I have several.
