Does Copland Creative operate UK-wide?
Yes, of course we do. As a company working primarily in digital media we cover all of the UK and our client base reflects this. Please get in touch to discuss what Copland Creative can do for you today.



Is Copland Creative a print shop? / Do you have in-house printing facilities?
As we are a small graphic design studio, and not a print shop, we do not offer in-house printing. For example, we design business cards, t-shirts, mousemats, etc, but we don't physically print them. Focusing on the pre-print design stage, we are able to offer you 100% original designs that we guarantee haven't come from a shop's design wizard or some large printing house's dubious 'business card' template! 

That said, we do have strong links with the printing industry and so can help negotiate good prices for all our clients. We have a thorough knowledge of, and experience working within, the printing process and we will discuss the production stage of your project with you. We are happy to recommend good print companies from our network to suit your needs.



What about sending me proofs?
Of course we will send you proofs to see and check before we finalise your designs for you. Proofs are usually sent by email but can be arranged to be sent by post if you require them.




Do you design websites?
Yes - we offer website design to suit your individual requirements. All our websites are designed with user friendliness, functionality and style in mind. 

We are very aware that style over substance is not a desirable trait in most business websites (you want hits and return visitors), and conversely, that a high-performance website littered with text is not going to appeal to users either because it looks clumsy and lacks cohesion. We really do believe we offer the best of both worlds - giving you a website that works AND looks fantastic. Please contact us so that we can discuss what you want from your website.



Why spend money on graphic design? Can't I just rustle up something using my fancy computer software myself? 
Ultimately what you decide to spend on your image is up to you. And nowhere does this matter more than in business. Graphic design helps to build a strong image for your business through a connection with your customer. The analogy would be the difference between a perfectly airbrushed and manicured model, attended to lovingly by the backstage professionals, walking confidently out onto the runway, strutting her stuff - and someone who's just rolled out of bed with hair unkempt, unironed shirt, and rustling for some lipstick before they get to the office. It shows.

If you decide to do it yourself (and there are loads of graphics packages out there, we know some of you may be tempted...), then it also shows. You can have a good shot at it, but most likely it will simply cost you both time and money. Believe us when we say that we spend our spare time analysing signs, websites, business cards, and brochures arguing over what does, and what definitely doesn't, work. Yes, we really are that obsessed with presentation! Best leave it to the professionals.



Is Copland Creative a web marketing company?
Copland Creative is not a dedicated web marketing company - we principally offer a 'design and build' web service focusing on designing great looking sites that also function well. However we have some great industry partners specialising in online marketing who can help you with this area of your business should you require additional 'pulling power'.
A value is required.
