Let’s Talk About You

Lawyer, Accountant . . . Designer?

Finding a reputable lawyer or a trusted accountant is one of the first and most important steps a small business takes as it gets started. It’s too bad that more businesses don’t include a designer in that list of trusted advisors. Sure we’re biased about the importance of our field—so are attorneys and CPAs—so hear us out.

Why do you hire a lawyer or an accountant? It’s not just to create legal contracts or file your taxes—you can probably use off-the-shelf software to do those tasks just as easily and for a lot less. No, these professionals bring know-how and acumen to running a business beyond just their fields of expertise. If they’re good (and many are) you may even consider them as integral to the success of your business as your own employees.

A skilled and knowledgeable design partner can provide that same degree of success, maybe even more. If they’re good (and far too many aren’t), they’ll help you not only focus your marketing message, they’ll find a new market for your service. They’ll give advice on your product packaging and a feature improvement at the same time. The design consultant shapes not just how your business looks, but also how your business behaves, finding ways to optimize your processes to cut costs and improve your profits. You’re so happy, you want to name your firstborn child after your designer.

Free Consultation

Okay, that may not have been your experience with your designers. It has been ours (except for the baby naming part—I mean, who wants a kid named Steeple?). Now wouldn’t you like to find out more about why things with Steeple Ashton are different?

Few things annoy us more than all the companies out there charging customers for information and advice that is freely available. They rely on ignorance and fear to cow a client into paying a lot of money for stuff a Google search can uncover in half the time. That’s why we offer free consulting to anyone and everyone who wants a little help.

Ask any question and we’ll try to answer it. We’re here for you.
