Solutions / Graphic design
Design thatdemands attention.
Every visual is a chapter in your brand's story. We create graphics that don't just look beautiful. They communicate, persuade, and convert. $150 an hour with a five-hour minimum, or $5,000 a month for 50 hours.
Good design is invisible. Great design is unforgettable. We aim for the kind that makes people stop scrolling, pick up the brochure, and actually read the email.
Every format.Every medium.
Brand Identity Design
Logos, monograms, wordmarks, and complete identity systems. From first sketch to final vector — every mark tells your story.
Marketing Collateral
Brochures, flyers, sell sheets, rack cards, and leave-behinds that do the selling when you're not in the room.
Social Media Graphics
Scroll-stopping templates, story designs, carousel layouts, and campaign visuals optimized for every platform's specs.
Presentation Design
Pitch decks, investor presentations, keynote slides, and sales enablement materials that make your ideas look as good as they are.
Packaging Design
Product packaging, labels, boxes, bags, and unboxing experiences that turn a purchase into a moment.
Infographics & Data Viz
Complex information made beautiful. Annual reports, white papers, case studies, and data stories that people actually want to read.
Environmental Design
Signage, trade show booths, wall graphics, window displays, and wayfinding that extends your brand into physical spaces.

Banner ads, display campaigns, retargeting visuals, and animated HTML5 ads designed to perform, not just impress.

Design, answered.
What's the difference between graphic design and branding?
Graphic design is the visual execution — individual pieces like a flyer or social post. Branding is the strategic system that governs how all those pieces look, feel, and connect. We do both, and they work best together.
How many revision rounds are included?
Two rounds of revisions are standard on every project. Additional rounds can be added if needed. We find that a sharp creative brief up front usually means fewer revisions anyway.
Can you match our existing brand guidelines?
Absolutely. Send us your brand book and we'll design within your system. If your guidelines need updating, we can help with that too.
Do you do one-off projects or only retainers?
Both. Need a single pitch deck? Great, at $150 an hour with a five-hour minimum. Want ongoing design support? The monthly retainer is $5,000 and includes 50 hours.
What file formats do I receive?
Depends on the project, but typically: AI, EPS, SVG, PDF, PNG, and JPG. Print projects include bleed-ready PDFs. We always deliver organized, clearly labeled asset folders.
Can you work with our printer?
Yes — we regularly coordinate with print vendors on specs, proofing, and production. We can also recommend trusted printers if you need one.
Creative, proactive, and aggressive in finding solutions to challenges and problems. Her efforts prove invaluable in keeping our team productive.
Every pixelhas a job.
Great design doesn't happen by accident. It happens by intention, precision, and a team that genuinely cares about the craft.

What clients say.
Clicking Awesome is EXACTLY that. They cover so many ends of the marketing spectrum it's almost impossible to list them all out. They're kind, attentive, and professional – and have fabulous marketing ideas and strategies. I would (and DO) GLADLY refer this company to anyone looking for marketing-related services.
My company reached out to Clicking Awesome on a referral basis. With so many web designers out there we did not know as a company who to look for. After a Zoom meeting with Nick and Nicole outlining design choices and how they could bring our company to the next level, we knew we had the right team. They kept us involved in the development of our site and were flexible on what we were looking for. Due to the quality finished product they delivered, our company has seen much more traffic to our site.
Just teamed up with Clicking Awesome, and they truly are AWESOME! Seriously loving the cool ideas they brought to the table for our marketing. Super easy to work with, and they know their stuff. Big thumbs up!
