We love creativity, but we approach design from each business' point of view. Years of experience as both designer and client, plus a marketing background, means you get targeted designs, created just for your market.

There are no small or big jobs, they are all equally important, and we're happy to take them on. In the process we hope to save you time and stress. We make sure all your materials are consistent and of high quality.

There are no hidden costs, all jobs are quoted in advance, and unless it's a seriously big job, finished within 24 hours.

It's a common misconception among businesses that they can't afford graphic design

The reality is you can't afford not to have your marketing done professionally, because it will keep you one step behind your competition.

Same as every other good investment, this one will give you a return. And you will be surprised how affordable it can really be.

Don't have images - not a worry, we have access to an endless stock library, plus we offer in-house professional photography for small businesses.

Don't have your logo in the right format - we'll copy it, or you may want to think about whether it's time for a fresh new one - see our Business Packages.

How our graphic design process works

We start by understanding your business rather than jumping straight to a screen. What do you do, who is it for, and what has to be different about how you look compared to everyone else in your market. From there we put together concepts, talk you through the thinking behind them, and refine based on your feedback until it is right.

You are involved the whole way through. Nothing goes to print or goes live without you seeing and approving it first.

Branding versus one-off design jobs

Some clients need a single item designed, like one flyer or one set of business cards. Others need a full brand identity: a logo, a colour palette, fonts, and a consistent look applied across everything from cards to signage to your website. If you only need one piece done well, that is a perfectly good place to start. If you are setting up a new business or refreshing an old one, doing the branding properly first means everything after it is quicker and cheaper, because the decisions are already made.

What you receive when a job is finished

Print ready files for anything going to print, screen ready versions for web and social media, and vector files where they are needed, for example for a signwriter or an embroiderer. You own what you have paid for, so you should never have to come back to us just to get a file you already have.

Graphic design FAQs

Do I need to know exactly what I want? No. Plenty of clients arrive with a rough idea or nothing more than "make it look professional", and that is enough to start from.

What if I do not like the first concept? That is what the feedback and revision stage is for. We keep refining until it is right, not until we run out of ideas.

Can you match my existing branding? Yes, if you already have a logo or colours you want to keep, new pieces are designed to match them.

Do you only do print and digital, or branding strategy too? Both. Some jobs are one printed piece, others start with working out what the brand should actually say before any design happens.

How ordering print works

If we have designed the artwork, it goes straight to Greenlea Print for production, so there is no risk of a file being set up wrong by a second supplier. If you already have artwork from somewhere else, we can check it is print ready and send it through, or design it fresh if it needs work.

Choosing the right stock and finish

Paper choice changes how a printed piece feels as much as how it looks. Heavier stock suits business cards and anything meant to feel premium. Lighter stock suits flyers and anything printed in volume where cost matters more. Matte finishes read as understated and easy to write on, gloss finishes make colours and photos pop. If you are not sure, tell us what the piece is for and we will recommend a stock and finish that suits it.

Print versus digital, and when it matters

Digital printing suits smaller runs and jobs that need to be reprinted often or customised. Offset printing suits larger runs where the per unit cost needs to come down. Neither is automatically better, it depends on the quantity and how often the piece will change.

Why we send printing to our own print shop

Greenlea Print has been printing for Perth businesses since 1984 and is now part of the same business as Danica. Sending your job there rather than a random trade printer means the same business is accountable for both the design and the finished product, so if something is not right, there is one phone call to make, not two.

Print FAQs

What is the minimum order? This varies by product. Tell us what you need and we will let you know the smallest practical run.

Can you print artwork I already have? Yes, provided it is print ready. If it is not, we can prepare it for a small fee.

How fast is turnaround? Most standard printing is at your door in 2 to 3 days, with free delivery anywhere in Australia.

Do you ship outside WA? Yes, Greenlea Print delivers Australia wide.

PRODUCT PHOTOS
Specialising in food and hospitality photography, as well as business profile images, we have worked with some of the top Perth restaurants and venues, and high profile businesses.

See Photography Portfolio

It's hard to make a good cake without good ingredients, and a really important ingredient in marketing are good photos.

When a designer takes photos, you know they will be done in such a way to be a great asset in both printed materials, as well as online.

Making it easy for you, we have the equipment and experience to make great product, portrait, staff and event photos for your business.

What a photography session involves

We book a time that suits your business, come to your premises, and photograph what you need in that session, whether that is products, food, staff portraits or the space itself. Photos are then edited and delivered ready to use, both print ready and sized for web and social media.

Types of business photography we offer

Staff portraits and headshots for your website, LinkedIn or an about page, photographed to look consistent if there are several of you.

Product and food photography, including hospitality work for menus, websites and social media. We have photographed for a number of well known Perth restaurants and venues.

Premises and interiors, so your website and listings actually show the space a customer will walk into, rather than a generic stock photo of somebody else's shopfront.

Events, covering the day so you have a library of images to use afterwards across your marketing.

Why photograph your own business instead of using stock images

Stock photography is fine until a customer notices the room, the staff or the product look nothing like the photos. Real photos of your actual business build trust in a way a stock library never can, and because a designer takes them, they are shot to work properly in printed material as well as online, not just dropped into a template.

Business photography FAQs

How long does a session take? Sessions are typically an hour, which is enough for a solid batch of edited images. Longer sessions are available for bigger jobs.

What should I prepare beforehand? Just have the space, products or people ready. We will guide you through what is needed on the day.

How many photos do I get? Depends on the session, but our standard package includes 100 edited photos from an hour on site.

How long until I get the edited photos? This depends on the size of the job. Ask us for a timeframe when you book.

How our website design process works

Every website starts with a conversation, not a template. We talk through who the site is for, what you need it to actually do, and what has not worked on your current site if you have one. From there we plan the content and structure first, design second. A beautiful page with nothing useful to say will not win you work, so getting the words and the structure right comes before any colour or layout decisions.

Once the structure is agreed, we design and build the site, send it through for your review, make the changes you ask for, and launch it. You are shown the site before it goes live, not after.

What kind of website do you need?

A single page site suits a business that needs one clear, well written page online: who you are, what you offer, and how to get in touch. Often enough for a trade, a consultant or a new business getting started.

A standard multi-page website suits most small businesses: a home page, an about page, a services or products section, and a contact page, each doing its own job properly rather than cramming everything onto one screen.

A website with a content management system (CMS) lets you log in and update text, images, prices or blog posts yourself, without calling a developer every time something changes. Worth it if your site needs to change often.

An online shop handles products, payments and orders. More involved to plan and build properly, so it starts with a proper conversation about what you are selling and how.

Why a custom built site rather than a DIY builder

Wix, Squarespace and similar tools are fine for a hobby project. For a business, the problem is that everyone using the same builder tends to end up with a site that looks like everyone else's, and you are stuck with whatever the tool allows once you hit its limits. A custom built site is designed around your actual business and your actual content, not squeezed into a template built for nobody in particular.

Website design FAQs

How long does a website take? A single page site can be ready in around a week once content is supplied. A standard multi-page site is usually two to four weeks. Timing depends mostly on how quickly we get your content and feedback back.

I do not have content written yet, is that a problem? No. Most clients do not. The Plan and Write a New Website guide on the Free Stuff page is built for exactly this, and we can also help write it as part of the job.

Will I be able to update it myself? With a CMS site, yes, and we show you how. Without one, small changes are usually quick and inexpensive to have done for you.

Do you handle hosting and domains? We can set these up or work with your existing hosting and domain, whichever you already have.

Will it work properly on phones? Every site is responsive, meaning it is built to work properly on desktop, tablet and phone, not just squeezed to fit.

MONTHLY SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGEMENT
From $250 + GST - request a quote

Social Media is basically free advertising. But just because it's free, doesn't mean you don't have to do it right. Let us help you get the best results.

We should all ideally be posting great, engaging content on Instagram, Facebook etc. every day. The reality is, ain't nobody got time for dat.

We offer easy solutions for businesses, which simplify and lift your social media game.

Photographing content on a phone for social media

What social media support actually includes

Two different things fall under social media here, and it helps to know which one you need. The first is a batch of branded images and hashtags you post yourself, on your own schedule. The second is ongoing management, where content is planned, created and posted for you on a regular basis, so it is off your plate entirely.

Branded image packs versus ongoing management

An image pack suits a business that is comfortable posting but does not have time to design graphics or find relevant hashtags every week. Monthly management suits a business that would rather not think about social media at all, and wants someone else planning and posting consistently on their behalf.

Which platforms we work with

Instagram and Facebook are the two most businesses need covered, and content is created with both in mind. If your customers are mostly on a different platform, tell us and we will plan around that instead.

Why consistent posting matters more than clever posting

One striking post that nobody sees again next month does less for a business than plain, useful content posted reliably every week. Consistency is what turns an account from something that looks abandoned into something a potential customer trusts, and it is exactly the part most small businesses run out of time for, which is what monthly management is built to fix.

Social media FAQs

Do I need to already have a content plan? No, that is part of what monthly management sets up for you.

Can you use photos you have already taken for us? Yes, and if you book a photography session with us, those images can feed straight into your social content too.

What if I just want the images, not ongoing posting? That is exactly what the branded image pack is for.

Can this be combined with a website or branding project? Yes, it is often more efficient to plan social content at the same time as a new logo or website, so everything looks consistent from day one.
