While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

Written by the company

Design Thing are a collection of creative professionals based in sunny Southend-on-Sea, Essex (and no, we don’t all act like people from TOWIE). We’re a passionate team of designers, strategists, and problem-solvers who believe great design is about more than just aesthetics — it’s about building strong, recognisable brands and effective digital experiences. With over 30 years of combined industry experience, we have worked across a wide range of sectors, delivering projects for clients both small and large. We specialise in establishing brands from the ground up, helping businesses define who they are, how they look, and how they communicate. From logo design and visual identity to tone of voice and brand guidelines, we create cohesive branding that leaves a lasting impression. Alongside branding, we design and build websites that are not only visually engaging but also intuitive, responsive, and built with purpose. Whether launching a new site or refreshing an existing one, we focus on clear user journeys and results-driven design. Our expertise also extends to printed media and wider marketing materials, ensuring consistency across every touchpoint. No matter the medium, we always strive to create eye-catching, thoughtful work that helps our clients stand out and grow with confidence.

Perfect experience from start to finish

Brilliant experience from start to finish. I’ve worked with DesignThing on a couple of projects, and their level of service and attention to detail is second to none. Most recently, they designed and built a new website for me. The team always takes the time to understand my vision and the overall feel of the business, while also bringing their own creative input to the final design. Nothing was ever too much trouble—any small tweaks or amendments were handled quickly and without issue. The end result exceeded my expectations. On top of that, the team is incredibly friendly and easy to work with, striking the perfect balance between professionalism and personality. Highly recommended.

Designthing helped us put together a standalone website. They designed it inline with our current branding and we gave them some creative license to modernise it which they did and exceeded expectations. Great value for money and we now refer them to our own clients looking for design and website work.

True professionals with the human touch

The people at Designthing are true professionals. From concept to finished products, they worked with me in a warm and friendly manner, to make sure my art-based website was just how I wanted, and their creative approach actually made my website even better than I originally envisaged. If any problems arose, Alex was always there with a solution.

I have used DT for a few projects now

I have used DT for a few projects now, revamping logos and websites for existing companies and companies starting from scratch. Each time has been an easy, friendly process my customers are always happy with the outcome too! I will continue to use them for any future needs as they always deliver great service and great looking work.

Great Service Good Work

From quotation to completion Design Thing handled everything efficiently and smoothly. They listened to what we wanted and we are very pleased with the outcome. We had a Logo design to begin with, then the website was produced around the new branding, along with flyers and business cards further down the line. Very happy with all of these items. Staff are friendly and helpful and I would 100% recommend them.

Good local business

Design thing helped me with a business logo and supplied printed business products.
Really happy with the service, knowledge is great and they are very helpful. Payment is by Bacs only-a small suggestion to design thing would be to consider providng credit card or paypal payment options.
Would highly recommend and would use again. Many Thanks to design thing
