FAQs About Inkbot Design
What exactly does Inkbot Design do?
We transform businesses into market leaders. While our output includes Logo Design, Web Development, and Corporate Identity, our product is Brand Perception. We align your visual presence with your commercial goals to increase customer trust and allow you to command higher prices.
How is Inkbot Design different from other design agencies?
Simple. We don't do things for the sake of it. Every design we create has one goal: to help you earn more money. While other designers are worried about winning awards, we're obsessed with winning customers. Your logo isn't art – it's a sales tool.
How long does a typical project take?
Logo projects: 2-4 weeks. Complete brand identity: 4-6 weeks. Websites: 6-12 weeks, depending on complexity. But here's the thing – we'd rather take an extra week to get it right than rush rubbish out the door. Quality doesn't happen by accident.
What's your design process like?
We start by understanding your business, not your favourite colours. We conduct discovery calls, competitor analysis, and market research, and then we design. Three rounds of revisions are included because perfection is a process, not an event. We show you options; you pick the winner.
Do you work with small businesses or just big companies?
We work with anyone serious about growth. Whether you're a one-person startup or an FTSE 100 company doesn't matter. What matters is that you understand that good design isn't an expense – it's an investment that pays dividends.
How much do your services cost?
Logo design starts at around £2,000. Complete brand identity packages range from £4,000-£12,000. Custom websites start at £6,500. Sounds expensive? Compare that to losing customers because your brand appears to have been designed in 2003.
What if I don't like the initial designs?
Then we keep working. We include revisions because the first idea isn't always the best. But here's what we won't do: endless changes because you can't decide. We'll guide you to the right choice.
Can you redesign my existing logo/brand?
Absolutely. Sometimes, admitting your current brand isn't working is the best business decision. A rebrand done right can increase perceived value by 50% overnight. We've seen businesses double their prices after a rebrand because they suddenly looked premium.
Do you provide the source files and own the rights?
You get everything: all source files, all formats, and full ownership rights. We're not holding your brand hostage for monthly fees. Once you pay, it's yours. Full stop.
How involved will I need to be in the process?
You're involved enough to give good feedback, but not so engaged that you're micromanaging font choices. We need your input on strategy and direction. We handle the execution. That's why you're hiring professionals.
What industries do you specialise in?
We don't discriminate – good design principles work everywhere. Tech, healthcare, retail, professional services, e-commerce. What matters isn't your industry; it's whether you're committed to standing out instead of blending in.
Can you help with marketing materials after the brand is done?
Of course. Business cards, brochures, social media templates, exhibition banners – we can design anything that carries your brand. Consistency is what separates amateur brands from professional ones.
What happens if I need changes after the project is complete?
Minor tweaks within 30 days? No charge. Significant changes or new materials? We'll quote you fairly. We're not trying to nickel and dime you, but we're also not running a charity.
How do I know if my brand needs work?
Ask yourself: Does your brand make you proud or embarrassed? Do customers immediately understand what you do? Do you present yourself as professionally as your competitors? If you hesitated on any of these, you already know the answer.
What's the first step to get started?
Please fill out our quote request form. We'll spend 30 minutes understanding your business, goals, and whether we're a good fit. No sales pitch, no pressure. Just an honest conversation about whether we can help you win.
