Asked Jim to create a corporate eBrochure and he didn't disappoint. Creative, great design and good ideas from start to finish. He was responsive, friendly and client focused. Can't recommend highly enough and would definitely use again.

What can I say, Brilliant. The brief was to do a classy and professional brochure. Jim has done an amazing job and gone beyond. Before Jim I went to several other designers and they didn't get it or have the talent that Jim does.
I wont use anyone else now. Can't recommend enough

Worked with Designers Up North on a last-minute magazine advert, and with only a short brief, they quickly turned around a design that perfectly matched our brand from the first draft. The team is friendly, professional, and easy to work with. We’ll definitely be using them for future design needs. Highly recommended!

Starting from scratch wasn't easy, but thanks to Jim's hands-on and supportive approach, I've finally started receiving the enquiries I've been hoping for as a wedding photographer. My website now stands out as truly unique, setting it apart from the rest. I can't thank Jim enough for his invaluable help along the way. Cheers, Lou

Professional, efficient and friendly team. Jim in print design was full of great ideas and nailed my brief with an impactful and modern concept that I’m confident will turbo charge the launch of my new business. He was also flexible and helpful in guiding me through what needs to be done with the brand now that the initial design concept has been established. I look forward to working with these guys again as my business (hopefully) grows.

Matt & Jim are just simply fantastic!! They have made me a website that I absolutely love and which has, from the enquiries I am now receiving, been sprinkled with magical SEO juice!! From our very first conversation I knew I wanted them to make my website for me, they listened to everything I said and gave me ideas. From the first draft they sent me I was in awe of these website hero's!! And they are always there for advice and guidance!! You must have these hero's build your website for you... simples!!

Thanks to Matt (Designers up north) we have grown our online presence. Matt was patient and didn't mind going back over things when i changed my mind numerous times and the outcome is just how i imagined it. Thanks again Matt.

Jim from Designers up North dropped me a cold email that would have normally gone straight in the bin. But I had already come across their work several times and it had made an impression so we arranged a chat.

Talking to Jim, it turned out he really knew his stuff when it came to SEO and marketing - so many web designers (and templates - especially templates) give you a pretty site, but you'll struggle to fit content in or rank the site.

Setting up the new site has been a really involved process (maybe because I like to get my hands dirty) - so Matt and Jim listened to my preferences and brief and we have come up with a new look which is a bold new direction, nodding towards both Bauhaus and high end magazines.

Overall I'm really happy with the site, but Jim / Matt are still constantly there for support, and keeping an eye out for opportunities to get the website ranking and in the view of my target audience. We're already seeing improvements in rankings and search traffic.

Also - the site is constantly tweak able, with an intuitive back end so you can update pages and create visually appealing blogs with ease.

It's early days, but I really believe this (despite the high up-front cost) has been my best marketing spend over the last few years and the website they have designed is a really solid platform to grow and build from.

Also - they're really personable and always there if you need support/ advice.
