As we know Google's core principle is: "Focus on the user and all else will follow." With this statement it’s important for us to know that Google is all about positive experiences for their users. Often overlooked when building a website is the time it takes a website page to load. Web page speed and performance is very important to the user experience.  If your site is too slow, you’ll not only be losing visitors, but also potential customers. Studies have shown that users start to drop off at load times of 4 seconds or more and Google recommends a page load speed of 3 seconds or less. Google has also started to factor a website’s speed into account in SERPs search rankings, so when optimising your site’s speed, you should take everything into consideration. Every millisecond and KB counts. ...

We recently designed and printed these DL sized Leaflets for GPS Tracking firm Kwiktrak UK LTD. Kwiktrak, a current client of ours required an affordable yet eye catching leaflet which would be suitable to hand out at the Autosport International Show in January. We advised that we'd design a DL sized leaflet because they're cost effective and suitable for shows and exhibitions as they sit nicely in leaflet holders. We produced the above DL Leaflets on 300 gsm board and finished with a gloss lamination to give them that quality feel. We also designed Kwiktrak's exhibition stand graphics which tie together with the above leaflets. At NW Design our DL leaflet design service includes unlimited revisions, we will work with you on your DL leaflet design until you are completely happy with the layout. Throughout the leaflet design process we will contact you with proofs to check that you're happy with the final result before sending your DL Leaflet to print. Over the years we've created a wide range of leaflets, some of which you can view in our Leaflet Design portfolio. ...

We've been delighted to be working on the Warrington Town Football Club marketing material for their 2020 vision.

The club can now tailor the contents of the folder for their individual purpose. Product information sheets, sponsorship pricing and any other information can be combined within to create a professional looking and focused piece of sales literature. ...

2013 proved to be a fantastic year for NW Design for both business and motorsport. ...

It has been predicted that in 2014 people using mobile devices to view websites will outweigh people using desktop computers for web searches. When local business and partner Wallace Printers of Westhoughton approached us in November 2013 and asked us to create them an aesthetically pleasing responsive website we jumped at the chance. They had seen what we had done with our own site and blog and really liked the positive results we had recieved. Wallace already had a current website which was created using flash which (all the rage many years ago). Sadly as the web progressed people reallised that flash sites weren't the future and you were left you with a website that was only good if people knew it was their in the first place. ...

Over the last past years, responsive web design has been gaining popularity and is now considered to be one of the best ways to design websites that look great on any device, from smartphones to smart TVs. So, what is responsive website design? A better question to ask might be, what problem does responsive website design solve? Well, as you may have noticed, computers aren’t the only piece of hardware with a web browser anymore. Nearly every phone and tablet has the facility to view websites nowadays. In an ideal world our customers will all be sat at their desk drinking coffee when they stumble across our sites but this is no longer true. With people being busier than ever & the staggering growth in mobile usage now means that you can no longer assume your website will be viewed on a desktop browser. In fact, in a year's time, a greater percentage of visits to your site will be made via mobile than a desktop computer - making responsive web design an absolute must. Have you ever tried to access a website on a mobile or tablet device and been frustrated by broken or unloadable content? This is how your customers will experience your brand without responsive website design or at least a site that fits the browser! ...

If you have products to sell or need to communicate on a regular basis with your customers or clients, a well designed newsletter can be an effective means to display your range of services.

We can help with establishing the right content and style for your message and this is often a wonderful way to keep your name in front of customers or prospects. ...

A well designed brochure is not only a great advertisement for your company, but can also be a great tool for a major meeting or presentation. This 8 page A4 brochure was produced for Manchester based company "365 Technical Plant Services". Needing just 20 copies for a a very important client presentation, we were asked to come up with a simple but effective concept to display their renewable energy technology, and to leave a lasting impression on their potential customer. Our simple yet creative design idea went extremely well at the presentation getting our client the desired result - and from the initial 20 copies of the brochure for the meeting -  a much larger production run proceeded a few weeks later, the customer confident that that they were on the right promotional path. We know that not everyone needs thousands of brochures, that's why we think it's important to get the right product and volume to the right client - be it a single digital copy for web distribution or a web site, 10 copies individually personalised for a presentation, or 10,000 for mass production, we can help promote your message out to your customers, cheaply and effectively...   ...

We were approached by an already existing Leigh based company to create them a brand identity and corporate logo. We set out by creating 9 bespoke and totally unique logos which NW Design take great pride in. I have not yet found another graphic design agency that offer this service with this quality without spending £1000's. We then sent Li the proofs and asked her to pick out a number of logos she liked. We then worked with Conversational Thai for a number of weeks manipulating the logo design until it was just right and finished up with the logo you see above. We believe we offer a first class Logo Design service and many hours of our time go into creating you a bespoke look and feel. View more of our final logo designs. We've had customers come to us after already spending £1000's with big city agencies only to be disappointed with the end result.  A recent customer of ours said "They said they would create us 5 unique logo's for £2000" The logos were different whereas they were the same logo just different colours. ...

With 3 rounds to go in the Heart of England Rally Championship NW Design finish top of their class and seal the deal with maximum points in Class A of the rally championship. (Just missing the bottles of champagne but we didn't want to tempt fait!) This now means that the team can now sit back without needing to worry about the remaining rounds and can concentrate on preparing the car for next season where they are looking for sponsorship contributions to further themselves. Hopefully the team have also won the award for most publicised rally team in the championship and it's with thanks to Michael Davies of Rally Stage Media Reporting. ...

Since doing our Blog post on using Twitter #Hashtags Part 1 we decided to elaborate on some more abbreviated Twitter terms. We’re asked by clients all the time about how they can get involved in Twitter and what all the abbreviated terms mean. I always say that you’re only allowed 140 characters in a tweet so sometimes you need to keep things short and sweet to portray your message. We’ve been asked recently by what is the #ff that they see in their newsfeed every Friday… Well here goes. ...

Flyers and Leaflets are a great way to get the word out about you and what you are doing, whether you’re running a promotional sale on a product for your business, advertising for a charity event that will be running in town soon, or a meeting for members of the community about what to do with left-over funds from last year’s school budget. However, it’s important to make sure those flyers get noticed, and with the help of NW Design we can assure you that we will spend the time to create you an eye catching flyer/leaflet that will be too good to be thrown away. A returning customer Tuning Developments LTD Birchwood asked us to create them a new double sided A5 flyer which they could take to a performance tuning show the coming week. The flyers primary aim was to showcase their products and services to potential new customers. We managed to create a leaflet that was eye catching yet informative to the customer. We pride ourselves on our Leaflet and Flyer design, and many hours of design go into every one to make them unique and original. We believe that creative graphic design shouldn't be thrown together and we work closely with the customer to ensure that your design is just right. We even offer an unlimited* amendment policy until its just right. *subject to fair use ...
