What does a brand strategy engagement include?

A brand strategy engagement includes a positioning audit, competitive landscape review, messaging framework, brand voice guidelines, and visual identity direction. You receive a complete brand system — not just a logo — with clear guidance on how to apply it across every channel.

How long does a website design and build project take?

A typical website design and build project takes 6–10 weeks from kickoff to launch. This includes discovery, wireframes, visual design, content integration, and QA. Timeline depends on content readiness and revision rounds.

Do you work with international clients?

Yes. Noran Design works globally — we have supported 130+ organisations across 15 countries including the UK, Hong Kong, Singapore, the United States, and Europe. All engagements are fully remote.

Can you design and build the website as well?

Yes. We offer end-to-end website design and build as a single engagement — strategy, UX, visual design, and CMS development. We build primarily in Framer and can integrate with your existing tools and content systems.

How is Noran Design different from a traditional agency?

Noran Design is a studio, not an agency. You work directly with Nicole Fung and a small senior team throughout your engagement — not a junior account manager. We operate as a strategic partner embedded in your organisation, not a vendor delivering to a brief.

About Us

Supporting Growth in Ipswich

Ipswich is Suffolk's largest commercial centre and one of the region's most ambitious business communities.

With strengths in professional services, logistics, financial services, manufacturing, and the creative sector, businesses in Ipswich increasingly compete beyond the local market. Strong branding, modern digital experiences, and efficient systems are becoming essential for attracting customers, talent, and new opportunities.

We help organisations build the foundations needed to compete confidently at a regional, national, and international level.
