Starting a business? Logo, Web Design & Marketing for New Businesses
Starting a business comes with a lot of things to work out, with marketing and brand being a big part of it. What it’s called. How it looks. How people find you. All things that need sorting before you open.
As an independent designer, I can help you with these things from the start. We can brainstorm the name, build the visual identity, design and develop the website, set up the basics for social media and create the everyday materials you need to run your business.
I studied Media Management at the Schule für Gestaltung in Bern, while working in Marketing and Communications at Leica Camera and now work independently as a freelance designer.
What I offer
Naming
I help with brainstorming and exploring names for your business. Together, we look at different ideas and directions, play with words and narrow things down.
Logo and Branding
I design the visual identity for your business, starting with the logo and building out the colours, typography and wider visual language around it.
Websites
I design and build websites from scratch in Wix Studio. Every site is fully customised, responsive and easy for you to manage and update yourself over time. The aim is always to create something clear in its design, functional and built to last.
Social Media Set-Up
I help set up the visual basics for your social media, so everything feels connected to the rest of the brand from the start. This can include profile and cover images, post templates and a simple visual direction for the content you create yourself.
Business Materials
I design the everyday materials you need to run your business and keep things looking consistent. This can include business cards, email signatures, presentation templates, letterheads, invoices and other documents you use regularly.
Advertising
I develop and design advertising materials for both digital and print. From campaign ideas and visual concepts to social media content, posters, screens and editorial publications.
Photography
I photograph your business, services and team to go with your visual identity and be used for your website and social media.
Starting a business has so many different aspects. I’m sure you’re already working on plenty of them and probably still discovering new ones along the way.
A big part of a new business is marketing and everything that comes with it. It can quickly become overwhelming, especially when you’re trying to find the right partner for each stage and time everything around your plans.
You need a name, a logo, a website, social media, business materials and sometimes signage, packaging or photography too. And all of those things work best when they belong together and follow the same visual direction.
As an independent designer, I can help you with these things from the start. We can brainstorm the name, build the visual identity, design and develop the website, set up the basics for social media and create the everyday materials you need to run your business.
Instead of coordinating different people for every part, you have one creative partner to work through it with. Someone who will already know the business, understand the bigger picture and can help make the many small decisions that come with getting something new off the ground.
I’d love to hear about you and your business and talk things through.

FAQ
Do I need the full package?
No, not necessary. We start by looking at what you actually need. That might be a logo and website or it could include naming, social media, signage and business materials too. Each service is available on it's own.
What platform do you use to create websites?
I work with Wix Studio, a no-code platform built for creative professionals. It allows for flexible, responsive design while remaining easy for clients to manage themselves after handover.
What if I already have a name or logo?
That’s great! We can work with what’s already there and build the missing pieces around it.
Do we have to do everything at once?
No, not at all. We can work in stages and fit the different parts around your plans, budget and opening date. The website might very well have priority over your business cards.

About me
About me
"This year I decided to focus on sharpening my appearance as a DJ and professionalising my entire image. I asked Louis Plant to help me with this and I couldn't be happier!
Louis understood me perfectly not only as a DJ but also as an artist and brought my vision to life in his vision. His expertise and creativity absolutely impressed me.
So if you're looking for someone to visually showcase your personality, I can wholeheartedly recommend Louis!"

First steps
01 - First conversation
First we meet, ideally in person or via video call, and have a little chat. This first conversation is about getting a sense of what you're looking for, and whether what I offer is a good fit.
02 - Understanding your needs
Together, we look at your goals, desired audience and business plan to understand what you already have and what you need.
03 - Defining what comes next
From there, we define the right direction and turn it into a clear scope of work. This could be a single area like just a website or business card, a set of materials or the full package. Once the priorities are clear, we can start creating.
