Strategy, identity and tone of voice. What you sell, said the same way everywhere.
Lincoln
A design studio founded in Lincoln
Brand, website and product design for Lincolnshire companies and clients across the world. Founded here, still run from here, by the people who actually do the work.
Who this is for
Lincolnshire companies that have outgrown their website, their brand or their product
Most Lincoln businesses looking for a design agency are in one of three places. The website was built years ago by someone who has since moved on, and it no longer says what the company does now. The company has grown, the brand has not, and it is costing them pitches they should be winning. Or they have software that customers use every day and an interface that was never designed, only built, and every new feature makes it harder to use. All three are the kind of job we do most. We work out what you actually sell, then build the brand, the website or the product around how your buyer makes the decision. For software that means the architecture underneath the screens, not just the screens, so your engineers can keep extending it. Fixed price, fixed scope, a date you can hold us to, and the person who pitched it is the person who does it. Grid was founded in Lincoln by Sy, a designer who came back from London, and he still lives here and runs every project. We do not have a Lincoln office full of people, and we will not pretend to. The rest of the team are senior designers and developers around the UK and abroad, chosen for the job rather than the postcode. If you want to meet in person in Lincoln, that is easy. If you would rather do everything on a call, most of our clients do.
What we do
Three things, one team
Nothing gets handed over, translated or explained twice.
Website
Designed around how your buyer evaluates you, then built properly, in WordPress, React or headless.
Product
Interfaces for complicated software, with the architecture underneath so your engineers can extend it.

Local work
Lincoln Women FC
We created the crest, the brand system and a fixture-led website for Lincoln Women FC. The identity is rooted in the city itself, so both sets of supporters could claim it equally, and it reads as a Lincoln club first. It is the project people in Lincoln most often ask us about, and the full case study is on its way.
Testimonials
Not our words, theirs
Everyone loves the badge btw. You guys absolutely nailed it. The response has been brilliant, and we couldn’t be happier with how it all came together.

Questions Lincoln companies ask us
Yes. Grid was founded in Lincoln by a designer who came back from London, and he still lives here and runs every project. The company is registered in London and the team is remote. We say this plainly because some agencies list a Lincoln address that is a mailbox. Ours is a person.
Both, and the product work is most of what we do. Control panels for hosting companies, a traffic signs platform for TSRGD, an AI logo platform for HostPapa. We design the architecture underneath the screens, every state and every flow, so your engineers get something they can extend rather than a set of pictures.
Yes, in Lincoln or London, and most clients do once at the start. After that the work happens on calls and in shared files, which is faster for everyone.
The same as it costs anywhere, because the work is the same. We price against a fixed scope agreed before we start and give you an honest band on the first call. Small, well-defined projects are welcome, and we will tell you if you do not need us.
No. The3Key is an accountancy practice for creatives. Luc Vincent is a salon brand with a store. The question is whether the brief is clear and the budget matches it, not the size of the company.
Yes. Grantham, Boston, Louth, Grimsby, Scunthorpe, Newark and everywhere between. Distance has never been the issue for a remote team.
WordPress, React or headless, chosen for what your team has to run afterwards. You own everything on final payment, including the source files.
