‘We engaged Double Sided to re-brand all of our corporate literature (all printed material we use from letterhead paper to business cards) and produce a new corporate brochure from scratch. This was a potentially complicated job, which John and Tam made very easy for us with their structured and well planned approach to projects of this nature.
It was fascinating to be involved in the design process and view each stage of the various designs taking shape. We put together a small internal committee to give feedback to the different options that were presented to us and it was fun being a part of something “creative”.
Upon completion of the project, we are delighted with the outcome. Both our new corporate brochure and printed literature have been transformed into something stunning – and the report templates using the new designs and layouts are simple and effective for our staff to use. The feedback we have had from our clients has also been extremely positive, which is very satisfying indeed.’

‘EPPA sprl, a Brussels based management consultancy specialising in a complete package of services in the fields of Societal, Public Policy and Regulatory affairs management, had a requirement for a new web site to promote and inform clients of their new service on REACH (Registration, Evaluation and Restrictions of Chemicals).
EPPA specified that the site must be user friendly, informative and fully content manageable by themselves. In addition, full Search Engine Optimisation was requested together with advice on Search Engine submission.
Double Sided provided EPPA with a fully costed and timescaled project plan to an agreed budget. Each stage of the project was implemented with professionalism and the final agreed design for the web site has since received much praise for its clarity and structure.
The content management and SEO systems were implemented in conjunction with EPPA’s technical IT department on the platform specified by EPPA.
I was extremely happy with Double Sided’s service. Their professional approach, specialist web design skills and invaluable advice allowed the project to be completed on time and within budget to a very high standard. We have already received numerous leads from the web site for our new REACH consultancy package and I would not hesitate to involve Double Sided in future projects.’

‘We needed a questionnaire to ask local residents on the Palmer Estate about proposed changes to the street.
As the communications department was booked for the next month, we needed a competent and local design company to carry out the work. Double Sided created the questionnaire and produced a design that was on-brand with Islington Council.
I found them professional, enthusiastic and easy to work with. They were also competitive on price and I would recommend them to other public bodies and councils.’

‘The way which Tam and John work with clients is simple, straightforward, efficient and business-like. They took a detailed brief and asked intelligent perceptive questions. They showed an understanding of my needs, to which they added their creative flair to enhance my thinking and to refine the specification. Then they delivered each stage of the project for my consideration and approval; as promised… on-time, to budget, clearly laid out and with sufficient explanation regarding rationale and style.
What they also do, rather cleverly, is suggest quite strict timescales for response to their proposals at each stage. This simple requirement reflects their appreciation that there’s more in the clients schedule than this project. It helps to guide you through the process, helps to retain focus and keeps the project moving.’

‘Gia London who required a very professional brand package and website to launch its into an international trade arena.
During the design experience, I found what seemed an impossible task to be simply directed and excellently organised. With a million different things going on in my head, coupled with frequent trips abroad, I found the project an absolute joy because of Double Sided’s professionalism, practical commentary, break down of tasks and task deadlines.
Both John and Tam directed my thoughts following a step by step process which allowed me to feel like I was in total control of my brand concept and future direction. At the same time they advised me to be more commercially aware and gave me practical advice about what my audience needed.
The thing I liked most about working with Double Sided is that I felt they delivered more than I expected in terms of service and they were so down to earth and unpretentious about their skills and experience.
I also felt that they had developed a very good way of understanding their client’s needs and respond very specifically to the individual.
The outcome of the projects was fantastic from a design point of view but also from a commercial point of view. I feel like I now have the right foundations to begin at that higher level which I am aiming for.’

‘[John and Tamara] …have consistently achieved my objectives with creative flair and enthusiasm, taking a genuine interest in the continued success of my business.
I felt we all worked together as a team. I had my own design ideas which needed to be put across to some of the most discerning clients in the UK. For that reason I needed extremely high quality websites and a catalogue in order to portray the same high standards to the clients. Both John and Tamara listened and incorporated my wishes with their own panache and design ideas on each project. The end results speak for themselves.
I have been delighted with the way in which they have always been able to attend to my needs with exceptional reliability.’

‘Hackney City Farm is a very popular and well visited community resource in East London accessed by over 50,000 visitors each year. In spite of this it only has a core staff of 5 full time employees who provide a wide variety of activities and projects. To reflect the Farm’s work Double Sided have redesigned and now maintain our website.
We are really grateful for Double Sided’s support; our website is brilliant, so clear and engaging. They have done a great job and with site analytics we have charted increasing web interest.’

‘Increation needed a well designed eye catching van livery which would reflect our business and sector and target customers. All the vans were slightly different sizes and models, and we needed a design solution which would suit each style and remain consistent.
Double sided provided us with an effective design solution which was innovative, clear and concise. They carried out the whole process, even overseeing the installation which really made life easier for us. The vans have generated business and certainly stand out from the competition. We would recommend Double Sided for their professionalism, prompt communication, and designs that go beyond the brief.’
