Design Image

What Design Image does

Design Image is a creative design and print agency founded in 2005 and headquartered in Fareham, Hampshire, UK, operating as a trading brand of SOS Creativity Ltd (Companies House registration 10643314). The agency delivers a comprehensive in-house design suite covering logo branding, WordPress-based web design and development, graphic design for print and digital media, large-format graphics (wall vinyl, hoardings, signage), 3D CGI visualization, exhibition stand design, vehicle graphics, school prospectus design, illustration, and print management. Underlying technology is conventional: WordPress CMS powers client websites with training and support packages, while proprietary 3D CGI tools render architectural and product visualizations from builder plans and drawings for property developers, housing associations, and planners.

The customer base is diversified across multiple verticals with education providers and engineering/manufacturing firms identified as the two primary segments; secondary segments include property developers, estate agents, small businesses, hospitality, healthcare, and professional services. Named clients span local SMEs (Dall Cleaning, Days Property, Tenth Hole Tea Rooms, Quayside Property Maintenance, Norjon Engineering, Regal Environ), education institutions (Horndean Technology College, Sparken Hill Academy, The Skills Hub), enterprise accounts (Gamma for IP EXPO exhibition stands, Spectrum Housing Group, Horizon Leisure Centre), and government bodies (Bournemouth Borough Council for the Cherries Court shared ownership scheme).

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based custom quotes for design deliverables, supplemented by ongoing WordPress training and support packages and long-term client retainers for continuous marketing collateral production. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, leveraging referrals from long-term relationships, a portfolio-driven website, active LinkedIn/Facebook/Instagram presence, and a knowledge blog. Geographic reach is anchored in Hampshire and the South Coast, with stated extension across the UK and selective international work. Pricing is opaque, with no public rate card; each project is quoted individually based on scope and complexity, and no fixed subscription or productized tiers are offered.
