FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Let's answer some questions you may have

Although the terms ‘logo’ and ‘brand’ are often used interchangeably, they are distinct concepts. A logo is a symbol or visual representation, whereas a brand is an organisation’s emotional and conceptual identity. A logo is a tool for recognition, while a brand is what people think and feel about the organisation as a whole.

Kindly see our logo design pricing guide for more information.

Brand strategy is a long-term plan designed to ensure a cohesive and consistent brand identity. It goes beyond logos, colours, and messaging, encompassing the values, mission, and positioning of a brand in relation to its target audience. Deploying a well-defined brand strategy differentiates an organisation, fosters loyalty, and drives long-term success.

The timeline depends on your specific needs and the overall project scope and complexity. Generally, a simple publication or report can be produced in 4–6 weeks.

One of the benefits of using our report design service is that we provide stock content (images, video, audio) at no extra fee – we have subscriptions to four professional stock libraries which we use to select highly impactful and evocative imagery to bring your reports to life. Disclaimer: Large volume image projects may incur additional fees.

The Ethical Agency is a full-service agency offering a comprehensive suite of digital marketing services, including digital marketing strategies, Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), email marketing, lead generation, social media management, content marketing, paid media, copywriting, video production, influencer marketing, and more.

Our report design fees start at £1,500 for a 12–16 page publication. We also offer two report design packages – for both budget-conscious and extravagant client requirements. Request a personalised quote.

Please refer to our web design and development pricing guide for more information. For bespoke websites with custom functionality, please fill out this intake form to help us assess your needs and provide a ballpark estimate quickly.

Whilst every website project is unique, we typically deliver straightforward builds within 3-6 weeks and more complex, bespoke projects within 6-12 weeks, provided all content is finalised and supplied upfront. These timeframes can vary based on your specific requirements and project complexity.

Our team brings over 40 years of combined web design and development expertise, successfully delivering hundreds of websites. We begin by consulting closely with you to determine the ideal solution for your needs. Before launch, we conduct thorough checks across 100+ pre- and post-go-live items to ensure your website is secure, properly indexed, and flawlessly functioning, resulting in a final product that exceeds your expectations.

We host your website powered 100% by renewable energy (no offsets) and provide four weeks of complimentary support after launch to address issues. This includes an intuitive on-site feedback tool to streamline any required revisions.

The Ethical Agency is situated with its headquarters in Cape Town, South Africa, with representation in London, United Kingdom.
