DeType — Brand & Web Agency

Your brand voice isn't necessarily what you say. It's about how you say it. Define. Decipher. Design. Develop. Detail. Deliver. Demand. We're leaning into 'de' words because they remind us of what matters— our process, and our promise to do things properly. Form + function have always been at the heart of what we do, a principle inspired by the D-Type's legacy— ingrained in our DNA. Our story isn't just a name but a reflection of our values. The market is evolving and so are we. Big things are brewing and there's plenty more to define, decipher and disrupt! Stay close 🧡 #design #development #marketing #web #marketing #disrupt #branding #d-type #detype #demand

‘@samassayer , why are you pouring a can of Special Brew at 10am on a Thursday?!’ Well… it’s International Beer Day — and in the spirit of having a drink with some pals — we’ve collaborated with two of our clients: @mosaicboardprinters and @xylobrew 🍻 Neil and Ben at Xylo are celebrating 5 years of their Brewery and Tap Room – Xylo – which the @detype team worked with them on the branding, design work (and several late night drinking sessions!). ...and don't worry, I ditched the Special Brew in favour of Xylo's 5 Year Anniversary Brew. We’ve recently launched Mosaic’s new website — they are THE beer mat printers in the UK, and we had such fun creating their site. I used to love those videos on Sesame Street of how things are made, so we put together the entire journey of ‘The Birth of a Beer Mat’! Thanks to all our teams, notably Charlie-Mae Taylor, Amber Shoyer and Martin for starring! Massive props to @nutsba for the idea and video edit colab, it’s been a great process firing edits back and forth to form the master cut! Remember, always drink sensibly… no need to get… half cut! 🥁💥 #beer #realale #internationalbeerday #webdesign #branding #printing #brewing

What's your substance? Your brand is so much more than just the logo, it's the personality of your business, the part people remember. And while your logo is only one small part of that, it should still be distinctive, meaningful, and build on genuine relevance. Your logo is only a small part of this, but it should be recognisable; it needs to be rooted in relevance and substance. What's the story behind your logo and brand?

IPS Power are a UK-wide power infrastructure specialist delivering complex cable installation, civil engineering, and emergency works across high voltage environments. Their previous website no longer reflected where the company stood as a business, and their reputation was not communicated effectively online. We designed and developed a bespoke, scalable website built around their current position and future ambitions. Functionally, the site was built to support business growth. Clear customer journeys and well-placed CTAs improve engagement and data capture, supported by GDPR compliant contact forms integrated with the client's CRM. The final result is much more than a new website... ... it's a digital platform that empowers them to present their expertise and guide their audience. Want to explore their site? 👉️ visit our 'Our work' page (link in bio) Think power partner, think IPS Power. Think website, think DeType.

Hari (aka our efficiency engineer) Hari is our WordPress Developer, specialising in custom-coded builds that are as fast as they are flawless.

Hari lives by a strict "zero-tab" rule: no clutter, no chaos, a spotless desktop. (Sam's desktop is his biggest nightmare!) Think speed, think structure, think zero tabs open... think Hari.

Laxman (aka the problem solver) Laxman is our Full Stack Developer, working across the entire web development spectrum to turn complex ideas into seamless digital experiences.

Thanks to his daughter Laxman gets to relive his childhood... even if it means learning all the new rhymes and stories with her! Think logic, think persistence... think Laxman.

Lowry Lighting are a long-standing controls specialist and a platinum partner of Signify, leading in complex solutions for hotels, education, and B2B clients. Their existing website, however, didn't reflect the scale, capability, or ambition of the business. The solution: We repositioned the business online, making it clear who they are, what they do, and why they're trusted, as well as ensuring separate pathways to guide contractors and end users to the right info. The result: A website that positions the business as a confident, reliable partner and a scalable platform ready for future features such as e-commerce! Think lighting solutions, think Lowry Lighting. Think website. Think DeType.
