RJ Design Associates offer a wide range of fully integrated web design solutions.
Whether we’re working with a brand new start-up company or a well-established multi-million pound business, we build websites with a unique look and feel that really stand out from the competition whilst being fully tailored to the client’s brand and budget.
Our recent projects have pushed the boundaries of creative design, incorporating web video, search engine optimisation, digital marketing, online brochures and e-shot campaigns.
As more and more business is conducted online, having the right search engine optimisation strategy has become increasingly important. Our search engine optimisation packages are designed to boost your website’s visibility in all major search engines.
Web video and multimedia applications are something of a speciality for us and can significantly enhance the overall impact of your website, whether you are looking for a simple yet stylish animation to give an extra depth to your web pages, or a visually impressive database-driven application to sit at the heart of your interactive content.
Digital magazines, or e-brochures, are an exciting new way to put brochures and documents online. Fully interactive, they can be used as teasers prior to running a print feature, for internal, B2B and B2C use, or to promote products and services.
Promotional e-shots are a highly cost-effective way for businesses to enhance relations with their customers and boost sales. Our e-shot campaigns include immediate trackable response reports so you can act on leads straight away.
We also offer custom-built content management systems, secure e-commerce capabilities, ultra-reliable web hosting and more.
New look for ECS

ECS (Nottingham) Ltd are global manufacturers and distributors for high quality water based and UV coatings, certificated pressroom chemicals, fountain solutions and sundry products.
When they came to RJDA a few months ago it was to sell us their products…
…they were so impressed with our set up they left the building full of design inspiration and a vision for a new brochure.
We soon had the new brochure underway and ECS were so pleased with the progress they asked us to re-design and host a website for them. We have subsequently rolled out business cards, leaflets, roller banners, pop up exhibition stands and they have an ongoing wish list for design and print!
Oh ……..and for the record we did purchase ink supplies!

Four winning finalists came over to the RJDA studio to receive their certificates and ‘sauce bottle’ trophy’s on Friday 21st May and Ryan took centre stage as the overall winner of RJDA’s FIRST EVER Creative Sauce Competition. to receive his 21 inch Mac, the ultimate prize for a graphic design student!
The winning students are all in their second year at Derby University studying Graphic Design and were thrilled to be with us as well as a little overwhelmed by their own success!
The students had a tour of the busy print and production facilities we have on site and around our design studio first off, followed by a session with the Company Director Lee Day and Studio Manager Chris Reynolds for a portfiolio appraisal.
This was a fabulous opportunity for students to show their work to professionals who have worked in the industry for years, and to use their knowledge to help understand what it is future employers will be looking for in a portfolio and how best to present their work.
We also gave each student a dedicated invaluable weeks work placement in our design studio over the summer so as they can get a feel for what its like working on live briefs for clients and to deadlines, an opportunity which will stand them in good stead for the future.
Chris Reynolds commented on why Ryan was the guy who walked away with the big prize:“All four of the winners entries were very strong and could have worked for the charity Brake as a campaign piece in their own right. The reason that Ryan’s entry had the edge was the fact that he had taken the brief and thought about it that little bit deeper. It was graphically well put together, it was hard hitting, neat and strong visually with an excellent use of typography. They were all very good visually, but Ryans was that bit stronger. He was a deserved winner”
All in all it was a relaxed, informative and fun afternoon for all of us at RJDA as much as for the winners of the very first Creative Sauce Competition.
Another new website is born at RJDA

When a client came to us recently we were (well mainly the females here) just cooing over the content!
Hush is a brand new baby photographic company who are about to launch in the Midlands. The clients came to us after a quick internet search for graphic designers in the area.
They wanted a clean, contemporary look that presented the images in the best way possible and that encouraged families to embrace their new relationships and capture the very special times in their young babies lives.
They also wanted SEO to maximize their new business on the web, which is an area our multi media team specilaise in, so they will be looking to grow organically rather than paying per click.
We love the results, as do the owners of Hush Photography!
