Small studio.
Big ideas.

Yes. Start Creative offers graphic design alongside printing, so you can discuss both in the same enquiry. Include the text, images and existing branding you would like to use, or explain the idea you want to develop.

For printing, include the product, dimensions, quantity and required date. For graphic design, explain what you need and where it will be used. For a website, describe your business, the information or features you need and whether you have an existing site. Include your budget if you have one.

Each quote is based on the work involved. Design costs depend on the brief and the artwork needed; printing depends on the product, quantity, paper or material and finishing. Share your requirements and any budget you have in mind so we can discuss the right approach.

Bleed is extra artwork extending beyond the final trimmed edge, which helps avoid unwanted white edges after cutting. Print-ready artwork also needs the correct dimensions, suitable image quality and the file format required for the job. Requirements vary by product, so confirm the specification before preparing your files.

Yes. Start Creative designs websites for local businesses, organisations and events, including single-page sites and larger business websites. We can plan your services, contact information, images and navigation around what your customers need to find.

Yes. Send a link to your current website and explain what you would like to improve, such as its appearance, mobile layout, content or navigation. I can review the requirements and discuss whether updating the existing site or rebuilding it would suit the project.

Yes. Start Creative is run by Simon Mayhew in Peterborough. You will discuss your requirements directly with me, whether you need graphic design, printing, a website or a combination of services.

Yes. Let us know you have artwork ready when requesting a quote. The file requirements depend on the product, so we can confirm the appropriate size, bleed and file format before the work goes to print.

Start Creative can help with business cards, leaflets, flyers, brochures, event programmes, posters, banners and business stationery. Tell me how the print will be used, along with the size, quantity and deadline, so I can quote for a suitable option.

Yes. I can help develop a logo and a consistent visual style for your business, then apply it to stationery, printed materials, social graphics and your website. If you already have a logo, send it with your enquiry so we can discuss working with your existing branding.

Timing depends on the size of the project, artwork approval and the printing or finishing required. Include your deadline when you enquire, especially for an event or launch. I can then confirm what is achievable before you commit rather than promise a standard turnaround for every job.

Website layouts are planned for desktop, tablet and mobile, with readable text, usable navigation and clear contact options. The content and images need to work across different screen sizes, rather than simply shrinking the desktop layout.

A website project can include clear page titles, descriptive headings, relevant service content and a structure that helps visitors and search engines understand your business. These are useful foundations for SEO, but no designer can guarantee a particular Google ranking. Tell me which services and locations matter most to your customers.

Yes. Start Creative can design posters, flyers, programmes and social media graphics for live shows and community events. Share the event details, existing logos, images and the formats you need. We can also discuss printing, so your event artwork stays consistent online and in print.
