Launchpad:
Your new brand and website, delivered in six weeks.
Studio-quality brand and website. Fixed scope, fixed price.
Most founders know when their brand and website is not good enough. They can feel it in everything they do – from their initial pitch to their proposals and quotes to potential customers. Our Launchpad package is the version of our studio offering with a fixed in scope and a fixed price – so you can get started without a lengthy proposal process. Brand identity, one-page brand guidelines, and a Squarespace or Wix site. Designed and delivered in six weeks.
You might be able to hire a freelancer for less. But with our Launchpad package you get two senior people with over thirty years of studio experience between them – who will treat your brief with the same rigour as a project ten times the size. The thinking is strategic, the craft is precise, and nothing gets handed off to a junior or third party.
How Launchpad works
Weeks 1-2
Focused conversations covering your audience, your ambition and what you are trying to build. We come back with two brand concepts presented in context so you can see exactly how each direction will work in the real world.
Deliverables:
Direction and positioning conversation / Audience and competitor review / Two initial brand concepts
Weeks 3-4
Two rounds of refinement on the chosen brand direction. Once the identity is signed off, we present two website designs, built in your new brand from day one and not retrofitted. Considered, editorial, purposeful.
Deliverables:
Final logo (EPS, PNG, JPG) / Social profile and cover images / One-page brand reference / Two website designs / Two rounds of amends
Weeks 5-6
Site built from scratch on Squarespace or Wix. Up to 10 pages (+ up 10 product pages if e-commerce). SEO foundations in place, branded email template set up. Site launch followed by a handover session so you can edit and add content from day one.
Deliverables:
Squarespace or Wix build up to 10 products + 10 products loaded / Email capture and contact functionality / SEO foundations / Branded email template / Handover session
Squarespace or Wix. We work on both.
We work on both platforms and will tell you honestly which is the better fit for your business. Both give you a site you can manage yourself from day one, without needing a developer for routine updates. The platform is a tool. The thinking behind it is what matters.
You own everything.
Your domain, your subscription, your content, all of it. We hand over everything at the end of the project with no strings attached. Many of our clients stay with us for ongoing work. None of them have to.
No account managers. No handoffs.
You talk directly to the people designing and building your brand. Creative Directors Paul and Matt run every project from brief to handover. No account managers, no briefing chains, no work going to a junior you have never met. You know exactly who is working on your business and how to reach them.
Built to grow with you.
The site we build is a foundation, not a ceiling. Both Squarespace and Wix are designed to grow with you (add pages, update content, expand the shop) without needing to come back to us for every change. We build the structure and the thinking. You take it forward.

"When I was looking for help upgrading my website my cousin told me about matt and Paul at Pre. My cousin is a force of nature so I knew they were to be taken seriously. What also became apparent very fast is what great, down to earth and decent people they are. My business is offering creative opportunities for discovering your inner and outer nature, and so the feel and function of my new website had to be aligned. Clear messaging and signposting along with a sense of beginning a journey of discovery.
They listened carefully and thoroughly, partnering with me in an exceptionally responsive way, and helping me understand more too, about the role of my site in my business. When I saw the draft results I knew I had made the right choice. I love how Pre worked with me to reimagine The Soul Shed. "

Questions we get asked about the Launch Package
What is included for £5,000?
The Launch Package includes: brand identity, logo files (EPS, PNG, JPG), social profile and cover images, a one-page brand reference document, two website designs, new build on Squarespace or Wix with up to 10 pages and 10 products loaded, email capture, contact form, SEO foundations, a branded email template, and a handover session. The Build-only Package includes exactly the same website deliverables, except that it is built around your existing brand. Two rounds of amends are included on every design item in both packages.
What is not included?
Product or location photography, website copywriting, custom development beyond the platform’s standard functionality, domain registration, and your Squarespace or Wix subscription. We are happy to quote on any of these separately if you need them.
How long does the Launchpad Package take?
Depending on how quickly you respond, typically 6 weeks from sign-off to launch. Week one is direction, weeks two to four are brand and design, weeks five and six are build, test, and handover. We agree the timeline at the start of every project and communicate clearly if anything affects it.
What if I already have a logo?
If you have a brand you are happy with, the Build-only package was created for exactly that situation. Website design and build in your existing brand, at £4,000 +VAT. If you have a logo but it needs tidying up or extending before it goes on a new site, tell us on the call and we will factor that in.
Can you take on more than 10 pages and products?
Yes. The package includes up to 10 pages and 10 products as part of the build. But beyond that, you can either add the remainder yourself (both Squarespace and Wix are designed to be edited without a developer) or we can add them for you based on our standard day rate.
Why not hire a freelancer?
A good freelancer can produce good work. The difference with PRE is that you get two senior people with thirty years of studio experience between them who will treat your project with the same rigour as a much larger brief. The thinking is strategic. We start with your audience and your business goal before we open a design file. The craft is precise. And nothing gets handed off to someone you have never spoken to.
Where are you based?
We are based in Guildford, Leatherhead and Battersea Power Station. We therefore work with clients across Surrey, London and the South East in person, and remotely with clients further afield.
Ready to look the part?
Tell us what you are building. A 20-minute call is enough to know whether the package is the right fit . and for you to get a clear sense of how we work and what you would be getting.
