What image DESIGN does

imageDESIGN (operating as Nine10/imageDESIGN) is a privately held, full-service design firm founded in 2000 and headquartered in Grande Prairie, Alberta. The firm delivers graphic design, web design and development, digital and wide-format printing, logo and branding services, and publication design and production for SMBs, local government, non-profits, educational institutions, and retail/hospitality clients across the Grande Prairie and Peace Country region. Its core technology stack comprises responsive web design with mobile-first delivery, a client-facing content management system for post-launch website editing, tiered website packages (webPRESENCE, webSTANDARD, webSELECT, webPREMIERE), and in-house digital and wide-format print capabilities that allow short-run production without outsourcing.

The firm operates five core service lines: graphic design (one-time professional services for logos, brochures, signage, vehicle wraps), web design and development (project-based with tiered package pricing), digital and wide-format printing (unit-based with no minimum quantities), logos and branding (set-fee Start-Up and VIP Corporate ID packages), and publications (end-to-end magazine and program production from layout through press runs and distribution). Beyond client work, imageDESIGN is both publisher and designer of three owned titles: GPNOW, an online lifestyle magazine for Grande Prairie; Ultimate Bridal Magazine, the only regional wedding publication for Northern Alberta, BC, and the Peace Region; and the Grande Prairie Guide, an annual relocation guide produced with the City of Grande Prairie. The company also partnered on the Memory Lane historical walking tour for Grande Prairie's centennial.

The business model is sales-led and project-based, with revenue generated primarily from one-time professional service fees, project-based web packages, set-fee branding packages, and unit-priced print runs. Distribution is direct via the firm's downtown Grande Prairie office, with sales supported by an online quote request form, phone, email, and in-person consultations. GTM motion targets local SMBs and institutional buyers in the Peace Country region, with the firm's owned publishing properties (GPNOW, Ultimate Bridal, Grande Prairie Guide) serving as a top-of-funnel content marketing and brand awareness channel. The firm employs fewer than 10 people, has no disclosed external funding, and is founder/owner-operated.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• Vistaprint (Cimpress): Large online printing and design services platform serving SMBs globally. Overlaps with imageDESIGN's digital/wide-format print and logo/branding offerings but at vastly greater scale and through self-service tools rather than local service.
• Squarespace: DIY website building and design platform widely used by SMBs. Substitutes for imageDESIGN's entry-level webPRESENCE and webSTANDARD tiers at materially lower price points.
• Wix: Website building platform with design and branding tools targeted at SMBs. Competes with imageDESIGN's lower-tier web packages and basic logo work on cost and ease-of-use.
• Canva: Online graphic design platform used heavily by SMBs and non-profits for marketing materials and basic branding. Represents a self-service substitute threat to imageDESIGN's graphic and logo services.
• GoDaddy: Web hosting and SMB services company offering website builders, marketing tools, and design services. Competes with imageDESIGN across the SMB web and branding value chain.

Direct peers

• MOO: Online premium printing and design company offering business cards, brochures, and related marketing materials with custom design services. Direct comparison point for imageDESIGN's print-plus-design positioning toward SMB customers.
• 99designs: Global design services marketplace connecting clients with freelance designers for logos, branding, web, and graphic design. Competes for the same SMB design project budgets imageDESIGN serves locally.
• Sticker Mule: Online custom printing and design services company with an SMB-focused product line of stickers, labels, and packaging. Competes in the same digital/print-on-demand space as imageDESIGN's print services.

Others

• Dribbble: Design community and freelance hiring platform. Indirectly comparable because it sources the same kind of creative talent and routes SMB design work to freelance designers, shifting budget away from local agencies like imageDESIGN.
