A small studio that treats your business like its own.
Harpenden Design is a creative studio in Hertfordshire. We design and build the things a brand is judged on, the website, the app, the identity, the photography, and run the marketing that keeps the work coming in.
Design and the systems behind it, under one roof.
Most brands end up with a designer who makes things look good and a separate person wiring up the marketing, and the two never quite meet. We do both. That means the site that looks the part is also fast, ranks and converts, and the emails and campaigns behind it are built to bring in enquiries, not just impressions.
We keep the studio small on purpose. You work with the people doing the work, briefs get read properly, and decisions get made quickly.
Three things we hold to.
Solve the real problem
Not just the brief. We go looking for what is actually holding the work back, including the parts nobody has named yet.
Treat it like our own
We care about the result the way you do. If something is not good enough to put our name to, it does not ship.
Take it further
Past the spec and into the detail that makes a brand feel considered rather than assembled.
Five disciplines, one studio.
Web design
Fast, well-ranked sites that turn visitors into enquiries, managed or built as a one-off.
App design
Product and app interfaces designed to feel obvious to use.
Branding
Identities with a point of view, built to hold up everywhere they land.
Photography
Product, event and commercial photography that makes the brand look as good as it is.
Marketing management
Campaigns, email and CRM run end to end, so the pipeline keeps filling.
Let's make something worth looking at.
