About Jonathan Hurley Design

After qualifying from Cardiff Art College in 1979, I worked in various advertising agencies – think Mad Men with less emphasis on the drinking and the womanising! I eventually set up my own design studio in 1992 in Bridgend, South Wales and since then have had the pleasure of helping all sorts of organisations advance their businesses by supplying them with well designed, high quality, effective promotional material and websites.

When we started the firm in the depth of the financial recession of 1992 we were still using Letraset dry transfer lettering, bromides and hot wax. Visuals were produced with magic markers and repro-houses were needed to make final films and chromalins before the printing process could even begin.

Today all those expensive processes have been replaced with digital technology (originally in 1992 with a second hand Macintosh IIci and now today running a suite of several powerful computers including a Mac Pro, and a new 27 inch iMac with 32 GB of memory. These are all linked to the Adobe Creative Cloud giving us access to the latest Adobe applications and  the entire Typekit font library.

This means that for the end user the cost of full colour printing has plummeted. The glossy colour brochures that were once only affordable by large corporations are now well within the reach of the smallest start-up firm. And digital printing presses now mean even short runs of 20 to 50 impressions are easily affordable.

But the biggest change we have seen is, of course, the internet. When we started very few, if any, local companies had a website. Now a company without a web presence is almost unheard of. We were one of the first companies to embrace the internet and we continue to help our clients promote themselves online with websites, social media and email marketing.

Having dealt with Jonathan now for over 5 years I can say he has always been very helpful, responsive and has managed our company website very satisfactorily. Jon came up with a great design for our site and it has always worked with no issues which is very important for customers using it. I have absolutely no complaints and would recommend Jon without any hesitation.

Jon was extremely patient with me in creating my perfect website. Im not the best with computers but he has helped me and given me confidence every step of the way, I couldn’t ask for a better web designer. Anything I felt that wasn’t quiet right, Jon tweaked until I was happy. His customer service, patience, response time and over all demeanour is second to none. Thanks again Jon 🙂🙂

Jon did a fabulous job on our website. We shopped around quite a bit before settling on him. The quality of the websites featured on his portfolio really stood out. He was very responsive throughout the process always addressing any queries we had or making any adjustments within a reasonable timeframe. We were very pleased with the overall outcome and the value for money proposition was fantastic. We cannot recommend him enough.

Jon is very easy to get on with and provided an excellent website for the budget we had at the time. For start up or relatively new companies, Jon is a god send. What he produced for us on a low budget was excellent and I can’t recommend him highly enough.
