Known limitations

We are aware that some parts of our website may not yet fully meet accessibility standards. These currently include:

  • Some portfolio and project images may not yet have fully descriptive alternative text
  • Some areas of the site may not yet meet the required colour contrast ratios
  • Some interactive elements may not be fully operable by keyboard alone

As a small studio business we are working through these improvements as quickly as we are able. If something is preventing you from getting the information you need, please contact us directly.

Discussing a project with us

Studio enquiries

All of our projects begin with a conversation. If you find our website difficult to navigate or would prefer not to use an online form, please contact us directly by phone or email to discuss your requirements. We are happy to arrange an initial consultation, talk through design ideas and provide information about our services without needing to use the website at all.

Our bespoke design process is highly personal and relationship-led — the website is simply a first point of contact, and we are always happy to pick up the phone.

Alternative formats

If you need any information from our website — including project examples, service descriptions or policy documents — in an alternative format such as large print or plain text, please contact us and we will do our best to help. We aim to respond to such requests within 5 working days.

Browser and assistive technology support

Our website is designed to work with modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari, and should be compatible with commonly used assistive technologies such as screen readers and keyboard navigation tools.
