Crisp Design was established in 2005 by James Crisp and is recommended for Clean, Crisp Design for digital and print.
Crisp by name and crisp by nature – James and the team believe that every aspect of design and content should be carefully placed. The emphasise is on not distracting the target audience from the key message or communication.
Targeted design for your business audience
We meet with you to get an understanding of your business and what would achieve a successful outcome. From this we get an idea of who your audience is and how to communicate with them – through whichever media channel is most effective.
The key to every successful campaign is to keep it simple. We work with you to focus on the most important points, removing any excess information that dilutes the message. The outcome is an effective communication that achieves your goals.
Getting the balance right for your brand
It’s important to get the balance right between how your brand looks and the tone voice. We help you achieve this with professionally written wording, blended with carefully-crafted typography and an engaging colour palette.
At the heart of this process is the use of design hierarchy to piece together all of the necessary elements to build your brand image. This contributes to building a successful brand that sets you apart from your competitors, helps grow your business.
Clean, crisp, design gets a better response
One of the buzzwords in the design world is flat design. It’s driven by the need to keep things, clear, simple and effective. This is relevant whether you’re dealing with quick-loading, responsive websites, engaging brochures, iconic logo design or attention-grabbing exhibition graphics.
At Crisp Design, we specialise in clean design or flat design if that’s what you want to call it – that gets results. Every design is focused, bespoke and designed for your audience to get the best response for your budget.

From the moment I got in touch with James everything just seemed seamless and effortless.He’s so professional, patient and efficient.He takes time understanding the needs of the client and is flexible with his ideas. His work is to a very high standard and he is so punctual with his timings. He is always readily available for any minor adjustments afterwards which for me (not great with technology!) is a huge relief!I started off using Crisp Design for a large banner, then it went on to leaflets and eventually an online booking system. I honestly wouldn’t look anywhere else for any future work needed for my business. Thank you for all your amazing hard work it is HUGELY appreciated!Sam from Sammy’s Seals Swim Classes

Having seen James’ work elsewhere, I knew that when I went out on my own, there was only one place to go for a professional Logo. Fantastic, tailored advice and service from the start, going above and beyond and sharing his experience. Above and beyond expectations, highly recommended!

Outstanding web design ideas combined with a professional 'can do' attitude makes Crisp Design Services the company to use. Communication was excellent throughout the process of designing a website for a local Podiatry and Chiropody company in Maldon. Nothing was too much trouble for James and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to colleagues. Well done James and thank you for all your help.

James was recommended to me and I have been really pleased with his guidance and professionalism.We agreed a tight deadline of 6 weeks to set up a website and logo from scratch for our holiday accommodation, and he pulled out all the stops to achieve it. James also designed, organised and delivered our new signage. What great service! Thank you so much, we are really pleased with it all.

After being a roofer for many years and finally taken the plunge to start my own little business up, Crisp Design was recommended to me to create my logo. Well Crisp by name and by nature as it turns out, the approach from James Crisp was very professional and straight to the point, I basically gave him a brief account of what I wanted doing and he took it on board and created me a fresh and very “crisp” design which I’m very proud of, huge thanks to James, I’m glad I chose you after various referrals and I will be recommending you to everyone after such a class act of a hob from start to finish.. thank you!

Having thought about what we actually wanted to achieve and met up with James...immediately he grasped an understanding of our business and what our ideas were trying to say. James doesn't come with a know it all approach but takes the time to understand the business and the people involved...in no time at all and at the first draft, James hit the mark perfectly with the perfect identity for us and our business. The branding he helped create is already making us the recognisable business we wanted to be.I would certainly recommend James to anyone needing to bring ideas to life and help push the business towards its goals,

Having wasted hours trying to generate our own marketing materials we finally enlisted the help of a local professional. We wish we had done so sooner, I cant imagine we will bother trying to do our own again. James's service has been excellent and frankly very affordable.We had some very loose ideas about what we might like but we really needed a professional creative designer to take those ideas and solidify them into formal designs. Within 24 hours of our initial enquiry James had spent time with us on a one to one and created a first draft. We were very happy and quite excited actually about the potential. With a few minor personal tweaks we now have some marketing materials we are very proud of.As a company we try to support other local businesses wherever it is practical to do so. With the designs completed we had thought we may have to get the printing done by an online company, but thankfully Crisp were also able to offer competitive rates for printing. So we were very happy to be able to place the order for printing with them too.Well worth requesting a quote for design or design and print from Crisp, especially if you have wasted time trying to do your own previously.

We have just had our Garden Design website set up by James. Not only was he reliable, full of great ideas, professional and knowledgeable, he also has the patience of a saint! I put him under some serious deadlines and not only did he deliver, he made it look easy! Thank you James for the late night requests and always being available.

Needed some improvements doing to a brand logo for one of my buinesses Muddykit.co.uk and James tweaked this quickly and effieicently. As a result of this good work I requested James assist with brand creation for my Accountancy Business. He listed to the brief, understood me and the end user - we worked together doing tweaks and I have to say I'm very proud and happy with my new Brand - ActiveAccountancy.com

I approached James to design a logo for a personal training business that I’m starting, within 3-4 days it was done. James was very friendly, efficient and professional. I look forward to working with him again soon.

I can’t recommend Crisp Design highly enough, James is a true professional. I was looking for a logo design for a new start up and went to James after having read his reviews online and I was not disappointed with the result. It’s all a very new venture for me and he was able to take my brief and take me through the process step by step until we reached a final design which I am very happy with! I will be back for more services!

I recently worked with James to design a logo for a start-up brand. The whole process was very new to me but James was able to use his experience to bring my ideas and vision to life. After a few conversations with James he created a final design which looks amazing and extremely professional. I would also like to mention that James's response time was extremely swift with regards to any queries that I had. I would highly recommend James and I look forward to working with him in the future.

Absolutely love the new design for Benbela Cockapoos. James created the image for us and then sorted business cards, a leaflet, a banner, our uniform and our website on a very reasonable budget in a short timescale. Highly recommended.

I have worked with James for a few years now. He has just revamped my web site from an old hard to use site to a new easy to navigate site and I am already seeing the results with more than double the traffic going through the new site, resulting in more business.James has also created a new logo, which is modern and eye catching.I would highly recommend James because he is very professional and more importantly he does exactly what he says he will do (and usually more).Thanks James.

Crisp Design has done a fantastic job of refreshing our website which i thought was ok at the time.. When you see the difference from the old site to the new one it was fantastic and money well spent. I would recommend Crisp Design to anyone who is considering a new website.

Very Creative and Professional - James has done several projects for me. We started with branding and within a few weeks and some good interaction he came up with some excellent brands and logos. The project then developed to a full web site, which again is very professional and pleasing to the eye. Finally James gave me the skills to do minor edits to the web site so i can be more interactive changes. Will be using again for sure and can recommend his services

James has been working with Seahorse now for 3 years on our brand and design. Putting it simply I wouldn't go anywhere else. James is creative and flexible in his approach, he listens and really understands what you are wanting to achieve and the quality of his work is fantastic! He is a design Jedi. I look forward to our next project

I'm so pleased with my new website design which James did for me last year. I've recently moved to Braintree so James helped me to optimise my site by showing me how and where to update my new location etc. After a few days of working on my site my web page appeared on the first page of Google! I was so impressed...so I if I can do it anyone can! Thank you James for your continued help and support 🙂
