When you’re setting up a new business, there’s a lot to think about – from your logo design and business cards to your website, domain name, print and social media.
You don’t necessarily need everything at once, though. My new business start-up packages are designed to give you a practical starting point, depending on how much support you need and how far along you are.
I’ve been running my own business for more than 30 years, so I know how many decisions come with getting a new venture off the ground.
You’ll deal directly with me throughout, and if you’re not sure what you need yet, that’s absolutely fine. We’ll work it out together.
I’ve put together six different start-up packages, depending on what you already have in place and how much help you need.
A straightforward option if you simply need your new identity and something ready to hand to customers.
Includes logo design, business card design and 250 printed business cards.
For businesses that don’t need a website just yet but want the essentials in place for print and social media.
Includes logo design, printed business cards, an editable Word letterhead template and three reusable branded Canva social media templates.
For new businesses that need a WordPress website to get online, whether your branding is already in place or you still need help with your logo and visual identity.
Includes a five-page website, with optional add-ons such as optimised copywriting, additional pages, a blog, case studies, categorised portfolios and domain registration.
For businesses whose priority is getting properly established online.
Combines logo design and a WordPress website with branded social media templates, Google setup and other useful digital launch materials.
A more complete starting point combining your new visual identity, printed business materials and website.
Your logo, business cards, Word letterhead, social templates and website are all designed together, giving your new business a consistent look from the outset.
For start-ups with more services, content or projects to showcase, the Complete package includes everything in the wider launch mix, with a larger WordPress website of up to 10 pages.
Alongside your branding, stationery and social media graphics, it also includes a portfolio/gallery and blog where useful, plus A5 flyer design and 1,000 printed flyers – giving you more to work with from day one.
Once we’ve talked through what you’re setting up, I can help prioritise the work and break the project into manageable stages.
For larger packages, I’d normally establish your logo and visual identity first, then work through the remaining elements in a sensible order.
You won’t be left with a giant list of things to organise all at once.
I’ll let you know what I need from you at each stage and keep the project moving smoothly from one step to the next.
The first few months of a new business often bring things you hadn’t thought about at the beginning – another flyer, an extra website page, a pullup banner for an exhibition, a product catalogue, social graphics or something completely new.
That’s fine.
Many clients first come to me when their business is little more than an idea and continue working with me for years afterwards as things grow and change.
You don’t have to build everything on day one. The important bit is getting the foundations right so you’ve got something good to build on.
That depends on the type of business you’re setting up and how you plan to find your customers.
For some businesses, a logo, business cards and social media presence may be enough initially. Others will need a website and printed marketing from day one.
I’ll help you prioritise the things that genuinely matter to your launch rather than assuming every new business needs exactly the same package.
Your branding and website are often among the first things potential customers will see, so getting them right from the beginning helps give your new business a consistent and credible identity.
Starting with a strong visual foundation also makes it much easier to add new marketing materials as your business develops.
My packages cover different combinations of branding, print, social media and WordPress website design, depending on how much help you need when launching your business.
They range from a straightforward logo and business card package through to more complete options covering your visual identity, website and launch materials.
If your chosen package includes a website, I’ll also help plan the pages, organise the content and manage the practical setup needed to get everything live.
Yes. The packages provide a useful starting point, but businesses rarely have identical requirements.
If there’s something you don’t need – or something more useful you’d like to include instead – let me know and I can advise on the best way to tailor the project.
Not necessarily. Some businesses can begin through recommendations, networking or social media and add a website later. For others, the website is one of the first things prospective customers will look for.
If I think you can sensibly leave something until later, I’ll tell you.
Yes. If you haven’t already registered one, I can help you choose and register an appropriate domain and manage the technical setup needed for your website.
Yes. You can supply your own finished copy, or send me your notes and business information and I can help shape the wording.
Optimised website copywriting is also available separately if you want more in-depth, search-focused content.
Yes. I can manage the printing of your business cards, flyers, stationery and other marketing materials through my trusted UK print suppliers.
I’ll prepare the artwork correctly, advise on suitable stocks and finishes where needed and manage the job through to delivery.
Absolutely. I can continue helping with graphic design, commercial print, website updates, website support and maintenance, social graphics and other marketing materials as your business develops.

" I would highly recommend Natalie at Design FX Studio. She has been fantastic helping me get all my social media, logo, branding and website designed and activated. Absolutely hassle free and so professional. 5* All day long! "
Steve, Owner, Trotman Electrical Services
" Natalie at Design FX Studio was brilliant from start to finish. She guided me through the whole process of creating a new brand for my new company, which included a great looking logo, she designed and built a great looking website, designing and printing business cards and leaflets. Without her help, my business would still be an idea!! Really enjoyed working with Natalie, responded to emails quickly and gave clear simple instructions - even for a computer novice like me! I've since recieved lots of new clients and orders since the website went live - I cannot thank Natalie enough it has been a real pleasure. "
Tony, Elite Commercial Cleaning
" I decided to set up a business and had a logo in mind but it was pretty raw. I didn’t know who to use and carried out a search on Google and the reviews for Design FX drew me in and a telephone call later I’d made my decision to use Natalie Sullivan. From start to finish it has been painless, good value for money and quick! Natalie is a fair and honest business woman and what she did with my logo was great. She turned an ugly duckling logo into a swan. My headed paper, business cards and folders all supplied by Natalie look fantastic and everyone who has seen or received them have been impressed. So to anyone needing a graphic designer Design FX should be your only port of call! "
