Paul Wells, Director
Having trained as a photographer, and after a career in advertising (in production, account management and planning), I came to the world of start-ups.
Where I learnt what it takes to run a business.
Initially building 'Fat Free', an early wireless broadband start-up, I then helped a franchise network to extend the same branding and digital skills I had honed for both franchisor and many custom branded franchisees. Brandkits was born.
Since 2009 I have helped businesses grow by asking the right questions, making them look good (consistently), and giving them the tools for their teams to deliver. It works.
Brandkits is mostly me, with specialists brought in for projects as required.
Skills
Thinking
Discovering. Challenging. Planning.
We ask a lot of questions. It's how we understand your business, what your objectives are, what your problems are, and discover how we need to solve them. Everything flows from the thinking, so expect to be (gently) interrogated (no lights). It's a collaboration – your know your game, we know ours – and together we plan something great.
Digital
Custom digital. For custom needs.
We create custom digital solutions for our clients, that meet the needs of your specific business. Ones that can adapt, evolve, and help you grow. Yes a custom site is an investment, and an ongoing journey, but from the many enquiries we receive from businesses that reach the end of the road with their current platform, we know it's the right path.
Craft CMS
Custom. Flexible. A joy to use.
We develop websites and digital tools using Craft CMS, a super flexible Content Management System. We build the CMS around your content and needs, customising the backend to make it intuitive to your team. And if you require further functionality, like deciding to start selling online, we can evolve and extend the core platform, adding plugins and developing custom modules.
Craft Commerce
Content + Commerce. Combined.
Craft CMS and Craft Commerce are seamlessly combined to offer the same elegant experience, frontend and backend. Infinitely flexible, it can can adapt and grow as your business does, with everything customisable to how you want it, integrating with other systems if required. If you have a complex product range, with different users, different pricing, and need custom tax and shipping rules, we've got you covered.
Branding
Look good. Consistently. With style.
We live in branded times, and we all judge books by the cover. How many times do you bounce off a website, or choose to go with a company based on how they look? The right branding comes from the right thinking. Where do you want to be positioned in your market, how do you want to be perceived? When that's right we can create the branding and the assets for you to consistently brand all that you do, at every touchpoint.
Campaigns
Email Marketing. Content Driven.
Email campaigns are a powerful way to connect with your users and pull them back to your site, but using a 3rd party provider means adding all your content again. So we setup branded email templates that enable you to simply select your site content and send it to targeted mailing lists. So you can build your campaigns quickly, simply and elegantly, and therefore send them more regularly.
