Why use a copywriter?
When you produce a website or brochure, you need to choose your words carefully. Otherwise you won't convey the right message to generate the reader response you're after. Copywriting is a craft that requires training and skill. Yet many companies decide to write content for websites and promotional literature themselves to reduce costs.

I found the guys at 2% Inspiration to be helpful at all times, communicating was never an issue and I really can't fault their design suggestions. All my design suggestions were followed and some wonderful ideas were made to make a simple site very effective.
At every point and turn I was kept in the loop with everything always being explained fully whilst being easily digestible.
When my site is due for upgrade I will most definitely be using 2% Inspiration again.
Well done and thanks chaps - 10/10.

I'm very impressed with 2% inspiration and would highly recommend them to anyone needing a new website.

Being a complete technophobe I was very weary of the whole web design process but 2% explained everything clearly to me and I think the end result really looks professional, I have had many complimentary comments from clients. I was also pleased with the speed of turn-around and thought the price very reasonable considering the quality of the end product.

In particular the back end of the site is very intuitive and after a quick tutorial from Gary the designer I found it very easy to make text amends myself to the site.

I would give 2% and 100% recommendation!!

What can I say, the guys at 2% were fantastic. We knew nothing about web design other than that we needed a website to promote our services! From the beginning the guys spoke to us in plain English we filled in a briefing form and from they seemed to understand our traget market perfectly.

The whole process was really painless, they advised us on everything including what sort of content to add and even how best to photograph our work on site for the portfolio. We used to rely solely on referrals but know get most of enquiries from the web (even the referrals seem to prefer to contact us through the site) so it has paid for itself many times over.

In addition to the website I feel I should mention that 2% also designed our logo and printed material, for a small start up business such as ours the service was very good value.

Gary White

Creative Director, Designer.

How do you reconcile a man’s lust for ornate bread bins with his outstanding ability to create brand-building concepts for top companies? Must be a visual thing.

Seen as a guru by both colleagues and clients, Gary epitomises the idea of calm hands fronting up a prodigious imagination. And when he’s not getting his fingers burnt on beach barbecues, or late-night gaming sites, he’s producing the kind of cool design that increases brand awareness, repositions companies, attracts new customers, changes public perceptions and stage-manages corporate images.

Just as he did for nine years at IBM. Just as he did for a whole diversity of clients when he ran his own design group.

Which is all very well, but what exactly was he doing that day, sitting beside a Florida freeway, on the bonnet of a hire car, staring open-mouthed at the sky?

Watching the launch of the space shuttle, of course.

John Simpson

Director of Interactive and Web Development

Forget big glasses, comedy ties and short-sleeved bri-nylon shirts. In fact, drop the whole technorak mental picture. John may have an absurdly profound understanding of multimedia technology, he may have been one of IBM’s web development stars, he may be fixated with the latest advances in web technologies. But geek he ain’t.

Think, instead, of a guy with the sort of drive needed to produce the most professional job possible for his clients. Or to take a rally-prepped Nova to the Nürburgring.
Think of someone capable of directing infernally difficult web development and specialist programming. And making it look easy.

Think of a free spirit who promises that, one day, he will take a roadcruise across America – and then the world.

John Simpson. Martial arts adherent. Motor sports fanatic. And techno-freak extraordinaire.
