Web design and build

The Brief:
We have a long-standing relationship with Kanda. In 2021 they decided to alter their business model, separating into three clear divisions. As a result of this restructure, it was decided that an entire brand overview should take place. They asked us to lead the project and work with their internal creative team. We created brand workshops and a brief for the team to work to.
The Solution:
The name Kanda is a hybrid of the idea of being candid, frank, honest and open. This is the concept that all creative work was judged against. The circles overlap to show inclusivity, community and the combining of ideas, all of which are imperative to Kanda’s business. Once a logo was chosen we produced brand guidelines, Word/Power Point presentation templates, designed and built a fully responsive website and photographed all staff members. We continue to enjoy a close working relationship and the latest piece of work is a short corporate film, showcasing Kanda’s brand values. We story-boarded, filmed, edited and produced this, including all the animation and photography.








The Brief:
McO are international civil litigators, with offices in the UK and US. Their purpose is to make whole those who have suffered injustice and their vision is a better world where the law works for everyone. They came to us requiring a new brand and website.
The Solution:
We started by hosting a brand workshop at their offices. This armed us with a comprehensive, strategic brief. They wanted a very simple and clean approach, with a colour palette which is sophisticated but playful and welcoming. Once the logo was chosen we created brand guidelines and went on to design and build a responsive site, which they are able to update themselves when required.







The brief:
Ancala Partners is an experienced and entrepreneurial investment manager, focused on investing in critical mid-market infrastructure assets, sourcing differentiated opportunities which proactively manage to create value for all stakeholders, Ancala came to us requiring a new website. They wanted it to be bespoke, modern and work across multiple platforms. They also wanted to be able to update the site themselves when required.
The solution:
Using their current logo, we were inspired by the angle on the letter ‘A’. We designed and built a fully responsive WordPress site and gave them training on how to use it. As part of the design process, we created a brand guidelines document for external and internal communications. We also wanted to add some individuality and personality to the website, which was achieved by a photoshoot at their offices, capturing documentary-style, informal images of the staff within their environment.
Stone Creative Design were a joy to work with, our website is so important to us and we needed to get it right. They led the project through many stages site maps, wireframes and designs etc. The fact that they could also offer photography was a bonus, it just meant we were dealing with one creative agency for everything. We will continue to work with them on our design and photography requirements.
Spence Clunie, Managing Partner





The Brief:
To create a logo, website, advertising and stationery for an affiliate and SEO marketing agency.
The Solution:
7thingsmedia are all about ‘making their mark’ in their sector. This led to the idea of producing a logo that was fundamentally a sticker, giving them an iconic, contemporary, individual and memorable logo. The sticker idea was then ‘applied’ literally to all marketing collateral, the business cards are produced as stickers, giving a really bespoke feel to every business card. The website again follows the idea through, showing pictures of their office and surrounding area where we have physically stuck logo stickers in places that help the narrative of the website and simply photographed them.




STONE CREATIVE DESIGN GOT UNDER THE SKIN OF OUR DESIRED BRAND FOCUS FOR 7THINGSMEDIA AND WORKING TOGETHER WE’VE CREATED A DISTINCTIVE, PROUD AND PERSONAL CONCEPT WHICH WILL ENABLE US TO STRENGTHEN OUR POSITION IN THE MARKETING PLACE PLUS ALLOWING US TO FURTHER SCALE OUR OPERATIONS & AGENCY RESPECT MOVING FORWARD.
Chris Bishop, Managing Director, 7thingsmedia

The brief:
We were asked to create a logo and website for a new photographic library, specialising in images of older people. They wanted to be the ‘go to’ destination for any agency, designer, media owner, journalist or product marketing team looking for photos of ordinary people doing ordinary or extraordinary things!.
The solution:
The identity is a bespoke font and the icon represents the ‘focus/shutter’ graphics used on cameras and also creates a ‘G’ and ‘S’. We created a website design that is responsive (changes size depending on device) that users can log in to, create lightboxes, purchase and download images. Photographers can create profiles, upload images and sell their work.


WE HAVE WORKED WITH STONE CREATIVE DESIGN ON A NUMBER OF OTHER PROJECTS AND TRUSTED THEM TO CREATE A BRAND WHICH REFLECTED OUR AIMS AND WOULD APPEAL TO OUR AUDIENCE OF AGENCY AND MEDIA PUBLISHERS. THEY PRODUCED THE SITE MAP STRUCTURE, WIREFRAMES, DESIGN AND BUILT A FRONTEND CMS THAT IS EASY TO USE AND UPDATE, WE ARE VERY PLEASED WITH THE RESULTS.
Dick Lumsden, Managing Director, Greystock

The Brief:
To design and create collateral to help Sainsbury’s inform the public about the opening of new stores.
The Solution:

The brief:
We were asked to create an logo, signage, leaflets and a responsive website for a secondhand car dealership in Buckinghamshire. The garage has been in the area for over 40’s and the branding had to encompass this traditional and family feel, whilst still being modern and trustworthy.
The Solution:
After creating the initial branding and supporting elements, one of the harder jobs was designing and creating a responsive website. CMC realised that the internet was becoming a powerful tool for them, more and more of their potential clients were viewing cars on their mobile phones. We created a site that can be viewed on all devices, that sums up the nature of the company. It is built on a Word Press platform and they were given training on the simple content management system,. The site allows the user to search for specific details i.e Manufacture, colour, number of seats etc. We used analytics on their previous site to build a new site which targets the information their costumers are looking for and allows them to access it quickly. We also undertook all the photography on the site.





STONE CREATIVE DESIGN HAVE BEEN EXCELLENT, FROM THE INITAL BRANDING, TO THE CREATION OF THE NEW WEBSITE. WE ARE A FAMILY RUN COMPANY AND WE WANTED THAT TO COME ACROSS IN OUR BRANDING, BUT WE REALISED THAT WE NEED TO MOVE ALONG WITH NEW TECHNOLOGY. THE WEBSITE THAT RESIZES ON ALL DIFFERENT DEVICES WAS EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE AFTER, COMBINING THIS WITH THE FACT IS SO EASY TO UPDATE AND ADD CARS IS GREAT. WE ARE ALREADY RECEIVING SALES AND ENQUIRES THROUGH THE NEW SITE, MUCH MORE THEN PREVIOUSLY.
Edward Alty, Director, The Chalfonts Motor Company

The brief:
We were initially briefed to create a range of collateral that would work alongside their current logo. This included stationery items, Power Point presentations, reports, press releases as well as an A5 brochure. The strength of this work led to us being asked to create their website.
The solution:
We wanted to produce a fully responsive site which could work across the different platforms it may be viewed on. They wanted to be able to make updates themselves via a CMS platform and also get great rankings on Google. The result of all this hard work is a set of cohesive elements that all work together and communicate the same visual and tonal language of the Positive Marketing brand.




THE TEAM AT STONE CREATIVE IS A PRETTY PERFECT MIX OF WISDOM, CREATIVE FLAIR AND EXPERIENCE. WE LIKE THEIR ABILITY TO PUSH US IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND MAKE OUR CRAZED THOUGHTS AND FINE WORDS LOOK GREAT. THESE GUYS ARE GOOD – JUST DON’T TELL EVERYONE!
Paul Maher, Managing Director, Positive Marketing

The Brief:
We were asked to create a logo for a brand new architecture firm. Award winning architect Kevin Gray decided it was time to go on his own after many years of working for companies like Foster + Partners and Rodgers Stirk Harbour + Partners. He wanted a logo that was different from his competitors but still fell in line with his design principles. It was a varied target audience but the logo had to portray Kevin’s passion for architecture, form and function.
The Solution:
The logomark is based on simple architectural forms, which can morph and change to give the logo a customised appearance based on it’s positional requirement. This allows for fluidity and creative licence to adapt to certain projects. The type sits on different faces of each ‘structure’ offering varying perspective views. As well as business cards and stationery we were asked to create brand guidelines. We continue to work with FormWork on their company collateral.



The brief:
We were briefed to help create a seasonal campaign called #Stirrupsummer encouraging families and children to attend horse racing over the summer period. Great British Racing needed to show how a race day was not all about gambling, but could be a fun filled, informative and enjoyable family day out. The visuals would needed to entice a wide target audience, adults as well as children from the age of 8 -18. The campaign would need to be accessible and feature across many different media platforms.
The solution:
First of all we created a brand identity which was rolled across a fully responsive website. The website needed to attract the younger demographic. The design is fresh, funky and appealing to the target audience. We needed content that would engage the user. The site features various competitions, like ‘Hip Clop’, a rap based competition with X Factor’s Reggie ’n Bollie, also ‘Design your own shoe’ which was promoted by Casper Lee and his 7 million YouTube followers (users were encouraged to design their own horse shoe and Casper eventually picked the winner). The site also features videos from DJ and presenter Sara Cox, quizzes, a horse name generator as well as a mobile and desktop friendly game called ‘Giddy Up’ where players must finish the race in the top 3 places.
We also created online and offline advertising, running an advert on the back cover of Time Out. Brand guidelines were also produced. The campaign was heavily supported through social media channels with the content from the various competitions as well as the promotional graphics we created.
The site has been a huge success and has brought many families to have fun days out at the races over the summer.

“STONE WERE A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH ON THIS PROJECT; ALL THE WAY FROM EARLY CONCEPT STAGES THROUGH TO ITS DELIVERY. THE WEBSITE HAS RECEIVED VERY POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM ALL CORNERS OF THE RACING INDUSTRY AND WE COULDN’T BE HAPPIER WITH HOW IT CAME TOGETHER.”
Fred Motley, Senior Digital Marketing Executive, Great British Racing










The brief:
Rivercrown is an advisor and investment company operating in the commercial real estate market. They came to us to create a bespoke website to provide them with a strong online presence.
The Solution:
A responsive website using striking overhead city shots was created using elements and colours from the already established logo and colour palette to create a cohesive, dramatic site. Deliberately clean and simple to navigate, the site was considered a great success by the client.



The brief:
We were asked by GreenShoots Research to create a new identity, website, stationery and presentation template.
The Solution:
We created a new logo that shows progression and growth. This idea and the angles created from the logo were used throughout the other pieces of collateral. GreenShoots pride themselves on their attention to detail and their hands on approach. We wanted to get this across and came up with the idea of ‘catching’ them talking about what they do and how they can help their clients, we organised a photoshoot and took all the photos in house. The photography and graphics were the basis for the website and presentation template we were asked to create. The finished result gives GreenShoots a positive, approachable and professional look across their brand. The website is fully responsive and can be updated by themselves, they also have a library of images to use from the photoshoot.

YOU REALLY TOOK THE TIME TO UNDERSTAND OUR BUSINESS AND LED US EXPERTLY THROUGH THE ENTIRE PROCESS TO AN END RESULT WE WERE REALLY PLEASED WITH. OUR NEW LOGO, WEBSITE AND COMMUNICATION MATERIALS FIT PERFECTLY WITH THE OBJECTIVES WE WERE TRYING TO ACHIEVE.
Rob Carpenter, Director, GreenShoots Research

The Brief:
Our relationship with Localz started by being asked to design a whitepaper. We impressed enough to be asked to work with them on further reports and then design their new company website. The site had to follow simple brand guidelines in terms of colours and fonts, but in terms of design it was quite open. What we created was a bespoke, responsive site that really showcased what Localz are about and what they do.
The Solution:
Using large imagery and an impactful colour palette, we created a responsive site that would work across all platforms. It’s clean, easy to navigate, whilst adhering to their brand guidelines. As with all the work we create with Localz it needs to convey the brand ethos, clean and simple yet memorable.



The Brief:
Londinium PR are a team of public relations consultants. They came to us to create a logo, branding, brand guidelines and a website.
The Solution:
Whilst this was a newly formed company the emphasis, as the company name suggests should evoke a sense of history, location and prestige. The colour palette and fonts were deliberately authoritative and the logo itself has connotations of a crown, roman numerals and a historic feel, yet could also be considered to be showing people sat around a table discussing, which is very much part of Londinium’s work.
We met with and photographed the team, which adds a sense of personalisation and interest to their bespoke website. The site is responsive and was built using a content management system allowing the client to update it themselves.
We also provided them with a set of brand guidelines to ensure their brand is consistent going forward.







The Brief:
One of Eamonn’s main passions outside the design world is motor-biking. Through his own riding experiences he discovered there wasn’t anything that encouraged people like himself, close to his own location to meet and ride together. He decided to create a community based website where riders can connect with other like-minded bikers wherever they are in the world. The internal brief was to create a responsive website, where people could plot their location, find and create rides, meet and make new friends.
THE SOLUTION:
The Weekly Ride was born. A purpose built social networking platform for bikers. By being part of the Weekly Ride, bikers are able to connect with others anywhere in the world, allowing them to create and invite them on any number of rides which can be mapped out and organised on the site itself. The site has quickly amassed 1,000 riders and lists friends such as the Movember Foundation, Bikenav and BikerBNB.
To raise awareness of the site, we organised a photo shoot, created and filmed video and launched an advertising campaign which was used on social media platforms.
