Our manifesto - Bowley Design

Why do we do what we do?

We’ve been working in design since the mid-1990s. We’ve learned a lot in that time, through our mistakes and those of others. These are the principles that shape the way we work now.

Quality

We don’t compromise on good quality design. Design is more than just polish or decoration, it’s critical to your brand success. If it’s good it will motivate and convert potential customers, and it will build trust and loyalty in your brand.

Honesty

We give it to you straight. If we make a mistake we’ll say so and sort it out. If we think you’re wrong on something important, we’ll tell you why. If we can save you money we’ll let you know. We’re quite sure you would prefer it this way.

Friendship

We will be your friend. We will try to make each project enjoyable, talk to you as equals, share your goals and maybe even share the odd joke together. It makes working together so much better.

Ego free

We always put you first. You won’t find trendy, fashionable work here or precious designers. Every decision is based on your needs and goals, not what we think is “cool”.

Simplicity

We will keep it simple. From planning and research to design and development, we will focus on simple solutions. No mumbo jumbo, no heavy laden technical jargon. We believe the simplest answer is often the best.

We say no

Yes, we do. If we don’t think your project or your business is the right fit for what we do best, we will say so. No one would come out happy if we were to do otherwise.
