What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Brand identity overhauls, website refreshes and printed publications for charities and third-sector organisations feature prominently in accounts of this Brighton design studio's output, alongside reports, videos, slide decks, magazines, brochures and exhibition boards created for think tanks and community groups. Paul and Ben are named again and again, and more than one customer describes how swiftly the pair absorbed a brief, frequently while working to demanding timescales, and how patiently they fielded feedback and amendments.

Something that features in review after review is the calibre of the finished design itself, whether a new logo, a rebuilt site or a printed piece, with clients remarking that the outcome matched their original vision. Reviewers frequently point to reliability and open, prompt communication across a project, including help once a site had gone live, together with an adaptable and accommodating manner that suits smaller organisations operating with constrained budgets.

Charlotte is also named in connection with branding and web work. Fairness, approachability and a readiness to exceed expectations run through the longer testimonials, as does the sensitivity shown when projects touch on delicate subject matter. The studio's management of intricate, multi-part briefs and its speed in turning around changes are singled out as notable strengths.

We've had a fantastic experience working with the team. From day one they've been incredibly professional, responsive and genuinely invested in helping us create the best possible website. Nothing has ever been too much trouble - they've been flexible when priorities have changed, quick to find solutions and always happy to offer advice and guidance along the way. Beyond their technical expertise, they're simply great people to work with. Friendly, approachable and reliable! We'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for a web agency.

Design Kind gave our recently created charity an amazing experience. They are super professional, reliable, flexible, responsive. They took the time to understand our project, adopt our graphic identity, and guide each step of the process. We originally took the time to compare many agencies and options, including big brands, and Design Kind is by far the best choice and exactly what we could have wished for. We are so grateful to have worked with them, and super pleased with the outcome.

Working with Paul has been an absolute pleasure. He has been incredibly prompt and available throughout, even under the very tight timeframe we were working to. His efficiency and responsiveness made a huge difference to the success of our project, and I truly appreciate the care and professionalism he showed in all our communications.

We worked with Paul and the team for a report, video, and slide deck, all for a think tank. We had an outstanding experience, from beginning to end, and were delighted with the final outputs. I strongly recommend Design Kind.

It was a pleasure working with Paul and Ben. Their extensive experience with third-sector projects meant they quickly understood our needs and were able to deliver an outstanding website for our AideCRM platform. We’re extremely happy with the results and would highly recommend them. We’re looking forward to continuing to work with them in the future.

Paul and the team were brilliant. Punctual, excellent communication and they created great designs for us. They also went above and beyond and were very willing to be flexible when needed. Something which is super helpful for us as a small/medium sized charitiy. Overall I'd thoroughly recommend working with them!

Was great to work with Paul and the team at DesignKind! They are fast to reply, helpful, creative and did a great job designing the first edition of our organisation's magazine as well as a series of A1 boards for an Impact Exhibition. We would recommend them for their professionalism and quality of work.
