Branding and Identity:

Atelier Studios designs and develops company branding. To be a creditable and professional looking identity and brand image that meets the target audience’s expectations and will help customers develop a perception of the services on offer. Our branding and identity services include:

Design Concepts:

Following an initial consultation with you to discuss the environment in which your new identity will operate and the objectives it will need to achieve, we will prepare a creative brief for your approval.

Once this is agreed, our design team will produce logo designs. Our concepts cover various directional and stylistic interpretations of the brief and will include ideas for the logo device along with any associated typefaces and colour ways.

Logo Development:

From our initial concepts we then take your feedback and list your preferences for development and completion and make amends based upon your feedback.

Once the logo is approved, we produce a logo pack which includes the logo in various formats and colour ways.

In regards to brand identity, our design studio team recommend some websites you could view for some initial design inspiration:

Website Design:

The design of the website will reflect the core values of yyour company. The aim of most recruitment websites is to develop an online presence, encouraging candidates to search for vacancies, clients to identify candidates and for them to contact you as a result.

The design phase of the project includes concept designs based around these objectives, and any other stipulated needs and influences. Central to the production of these concept will be the completion of our client survey or alternatively, a design brief.

We provide concepts to demonstrate a clear idea of how the website will look. Pages are illustrated that are imperative for the success design of the site. The design phase of the site will consider the site’s purpose, its target audiences and key requirements. This is an iterative process based on creating images, screen shots and mock-up pages. Our designers will use the collateral provided during this process.

Accessibility:

At Atelier Studios our aim is to make our websites as accessible as possible to the widest range of people. This involves considering the specific needs of not only those with visual or motor impairments, learning difficulties and other forms of disability, but also different browser technology and internet connection speeds.

We endeavour to comply with the most widely accepted guidelines for the construction of accessible web sites as specified by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C); a non-profit organisation charged with overseeing the continuing development of the web.

W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines three levels of accessibility, each progressively more demanding. The most basic level of accessibility is Priority 1 (Level A Compliance) followed by Priority 2 and 3 (levels AA and AAA). Our sites comply, at a minimum, with all Priority 1 checkpoints and where possible Priority 2 and 3 checkpoints. There are however, a number of the checkpoints that are subjective and there may be instances where interpretation varies. All web sites owned by UK businesses need to comply with the Disability Discrimination Act – The DDA.

This stance on accessibility will be maintained with the development of your website and Atelier Studios will use a number of tools to ensure that the development of the site adheres to the act.

For further information on the W3C or the DDA, please see the following third party websites:

Web Browsers:

We make sure our sites are compatible with the following web browsers on both Mac and PC:

Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8 and 9
Firefox – version 2 and above
Google Chrome
Safari

Together, these account for around 93% of Internet use.
