A little more
about Nice & Loud.

Our point of view
Care is in
the details.
Strategy, identity and websites, made together.
Close to the work. Curious about what comes next.
Start a conversation
What guides the work.
- 01
Start with context
Bring a clear story into identity, websites and the materials people actually use.
- 02
Make the details useful
Keep the information needed for a choice close to the choice itself. Clear names, readable dimensions and a visible next step matter more than adding another layer.
- 03
Leave room for the individual
The right starting point depends on the person, place and purpose. Use the collection as a guide, then ask about the details that make your situation different.

Nice & Loud
A few useful answers.
Before we begin.
Can we see more work before we talk?
Yes. The work page has six full case studies with the brief, the two directions and what happened after launch. Ask and we will send a sector-specific set.
What happens after we get in touch?
A reply within two working days with a rough scope and a straight price, then a free kickoff call to see if we are a fit. No deck, no pitch.
Can we do just the website, or just the logo?
Yes to both. Each service stands on its own, though a site built by the same people who drew the mark tends to fit better.
A few practical details.
Where should we start?
With the Studio Day if you are unsure: one day, one problem, a clear recommendation. It counts toward a full project if you go ahead.
Who will we actually work with?
The two founders, on every project. We bring in a photographer or a developer when the work needs one, and you meet them too.
Do you work remotely?
Half of our clients we have never met in person. Kickoffs and reviews happen on a call; final files arrive the same way. Rivergate locals get coffee.

What belongs
in the scope?
We agree the applications, content responsibilities, feedback rounds and handover before starting. Development, production and additional content are discussed explicitly.
See how we workBefore the first brief.
Are these fixed packages?
These are starting scopes. The final quote reflects the applications, complexity and responsibilities agreed for the project.
Can we work in stages?
Yes. A strategy stage can establish the brief for later identity and website work. We agree the decision each stage needs to resolve.
What should I bring?
Share the audience, the current material, the date that matters and the outcome you want. A clear question is more useful than a polished presentation.
Nice & Loud
Personality is a useful tool
Character should make things clearer.
Begin with the voice
A brand feels familiar when its language, images and layout make compatible choices. Write down a few examples of how it speaks in an ordinary situation. Those examples are more useful than a long list of adjectives without context.
Personality is a pattern of decisions.
Test it in use
Place the identity on the things people actually encounter: a small label, a mobile page, an order message. The same idea should still be recognisable when the size and amount of content change.
Leave room for variation
Consistency does not require every page to look identical. Keep a small set of stable rules and let the composition respond to the content. The result should feel like a family of applications, with enough freedom to keep each one useful.
Nice & Loud
The questions before the brief
Better beginnings. Better projects.
Write the decision first
Start with the audience and the change the work should support. Include the action someone needs to take after seeing the page, product or campaign. A list of deliverables is useful, but it does not explain why those deliverables are needed.
A useful brief makes the next decision easier.
Bring the constraints
Share the existing assets, the content owner and the date that matters. Name what is already decided and what remains open. This gives the team room to explore without repeatedly reopening the same question.
Make feedback usable
Choose one person to gather feedback and ask for it against the agreed purpose. Explain the problem with a direction before proposing a visual fix. A good review leaves a shorter list of decisions, not a longer collection of preferences.
Nice & Loud
The website after launch
Design for the next update.
Design the states
A polished screen is only one point in a longer interaction. Include empty results, long text, validation and the next step after success. These states reveal whether the layout is a real system or a picture that only works with ideal content.
A handover is part of the design.
Keep the source organised
Name components and assets for what they do. Group the content so a future edit does not require searching through unrelated markup. Include a working example when a rule is easier to understand by using it.
Review the real page
Check the built page at a small width and with a keyboard. Follow the primary action and then return to the starting point. A short walkthrough with the person maintaining the site often reveals questions a specification alone would miss.

01
Listen
A two-hour kickoff where you talk and we take notes. What you sell, who you sell it to, what you are tired of.
02
Draw
Two directions in two weeks, shown as real things: a shopfront, a homepage, a box. Not a mood board.
03
Make it loud
One direction, built out across everything you actually use. Files named so a printer can read them.

A monthly hour with the studio after launch, for as long as you want it. Most people keep it for years.

Kind words
NICE THINGS
PEOPLE SAY.
From clients, after launch, when the excitement has worn off and the work is still working.
“They gave the café a face. Regulars started buying the mugs. Strangers started sending photos of the sign. We have not changed a thing since.”
“Two directions, one clear recommendation, no jargon. The first time a design studio has made a decision easier instead of harder.”
“Our website was built by people who also drew the logo. It shows. Everything fits, and I can update the whole thing myself.”
Nice & Loud
A good fit?
Let’s find out.
How much does a project cost?
Identity work starts at $9,000, a website from $14,000, and most brands land between $25,000 and $60,000 for both. Every quote is fixed once we agree the scope.
How long does it take?
An identity takes six to eight weeks; a site another eight. We book two projects at a time, so the date we give you is the date you get.
Do you work with small businesses?
Mostly. Cafés, shops, galleries and founders with one good idea are our favourite clients. We also run a smaller Studio Day for anyone who needs a fast, focused fix.
What do we get at the end?
Everything, named properly: logo files in every format, a brand book you can hand to a printer, the website on your own account, and a monthly hour with us if you want it.
Can you work with our existing logo?
Yes, if it is working. Part of the kickoff is deciding honestly whether it is. Sometimes the answer is a tidy-up, not a rebrand.
