Just a sec! Before you get your scroll on, I thought I'd just say "Hey!"
My name is Pierre, Founder of Impact Designs, a Creative Elevation Team that I lead from my home office, in Bedfordshire; alongside my cousin, DeAnna, who works from her home in North London.
After 26,788 hours (or 3 years and 21 days), we have finally reached the point where word-of-mouth projects and repeat business becomes a nice-to-have. This is our first ever website and as we're stepping into blue ocean waters during 2022 we're going to need a kick-ass website to do it!
We are also grateful to have an incredible Creative Team behind us along with a brilliant set of mentors and a non-stop nagging voice in our head; they all can't stop asking the same question...
Scroll down to see what that question is and, on your way down, take a minute to admire that incredible view... See you down there...
THE RUMORS ARE TRUE, WE FINALLY HAVE A .COM...
& You are invited to scroll down.
STUCK ON REPEAT...
"But you design websites for a living... So where's your own website?"
Well, time flies when you're having fun! You complete one project and you don't get a chance to watch Money Heist before someone has seen your work or a client refers you to a friend and you're off working with another Brand!
Next thing you know, you're 3 years in and you have to make the next step up... But that next step... Well... It requires you to have a few things in place... The first is a website...
The stuff we're pretty good at...
THIS WON'T TAKE LONG.
WE PROVIDE BLOCKCHAIN SOLUTIONS.
At the end of 2021, we were lucky enough to Partner with NFT-MAKER.IO. Together, we provide Blockchain Solutions for Individuals or Brand's who want to create a buzz on Cardano.
NFT-MAKER deal with really technical, back-end, tasks like:
-
Low-Volume Minting & Mass Minting,
-
Tokenomics,
-
Smart Contracts and
-
Code... A lot of Code.
Whilst we do the easier stuff like your:
-
Front-end website design,
-
Marketing Strategy,
-
Social Media Campaign & Graphics and
-
Any other digital or corporate Assets your brand may need... Like uniquely captivating NFT designs!
You can click the buttons below to have a look at some hand-picked projects we've worked on together.
Partnered with Cardano's Market Leaders nft-maker.io.
WE BUILD AWARD-WINNING DASHBOARD PLATFORMS.
The kind that makes you look twice.
Myself and my Co-Founder DeAnna, also founded Finders Force. We are grateful and ecstatic to have been selected in the winning Top 30 Tech Start-Up's across the UK in 2021 by Tech Nation (technation.io). A Government funded, nationwide competition!
The platform we're building that garnered that attention is called Finders Force. It's designed to disrupt an entire industry within the HR SaaS space and you can find out more about how it works over on it's landing page. Just click the little yellow link icon thingy below the image.
So if you have a giant platform that needs building, we're all for that! We have the knowledge, expertise and creativity to progress your project, no matter what the stage.
Our building skills span the likes of: Laravel, Python, JavaScript (React & Node), MySQL, the lovely WordPress and popular Shopify alongside your more user-friendly platforms like: WIX, Squarespace, GoDaddy and Webflow!
WE DESIGN KICK-ASS WEBSITES
You think it,
we'll create it.
Aesthetics is what we do... Really really well. From Restaurants, Fashion Marketplaces & Corporate Websites to Booking Platform's, Blog's & Multi-Faceted Dashboard's, we have a knack for making things look incredibly good!
How good are we actually though? Well, we are becoming very used to our client's getting quickly overwhelmed and actually shedding a few tears over a Google Meets call when they see their vision turned into reality before their eyes! Now, I'm not saying this is a guaranteed emotional response that you will have too. I'm just saying have the Kleenex
close by is all.
So at this point, I'm supposed to draw your attention to the let's collaborate button down below, in case you have a project you want to work on with us... But...
As I'm in charge of this keyboard right now (... and it's 04:59am, everyone's asleep and no one can stop me right now)... I'd much rather ask you, how's your day going? What are you excited about this month? And how are you enjoying your experience so far on our first ever website?
If you like, Drop me an email! we could hit it off and become really good friends or something!
WE DEVELOP IMPACT BRANDS
We give Brand's
A Voice That Is Heard.
Branding is one of our most favourite types of projects, you can't beat a freshly baked idea that needs that sprinkling of magic with all the trimmings! There is something special about transforming an idea into a tangible result that makes a difference in people's lives!
All of our branding projects begin exactly the same: A down-to-earth chat with the client.
From there, we understand the end goal and reverse engineer a strategy of success from that end point to where we are now, essentially mapping out a step-by-step roadmap of all the Branding Assets they may well need!
Take a look at two more brand's we've cherry picked for you to view:
WE CREATE STOP-IN-YOUR-TRACKS GRAPHICS
If it doesn't exceed expectations, it doesn't get published.
That's the standard we set ourselves and we make a habit of working with client's who also share a high calibre of quality.
When it comes to our Graphic Design, we let the work produced and the reactions do all the talking. We are on a constant learning curve, keeping up to date with pop culture, whilst keeping an eye on timeless design that never get's old.
Use the button below to find out how we can bring our Graphic Design eye to a project you are passionate about.

A TALE OF TWO HALVES
Elevate vs. Partner
Now you've had a deep dive into what we are really good at, you may be wondering what a working relationship, with us, may actually look like? Keep on reading to discover the two distinct options we are offering our client's in 2022.
ELEVATE
For the Brand seeking to hire an agile, family-run, Elevation Team with a cutting edge for Design.
For almost 3 years, we've delivered design after design after design. It was only over the past 6 month's that we began to realise that delivering designs wasn't fulfilling our true urge to help businesses thrive.
We looked back at the projects that really brought us and our team alive and we discovered the more engaged we were with the client, their story, and the end goal, the better we delivered and the more we could elevate the client's overall desired outcome.
We then created E L E V A T E, a service based around Creative Solutions that go way beyond uploading a PNG into a Google Drive and signing out for the day.
Now, our depth of understanding a client's project allows us to bring to the table ideas and potentialities which our Client's deem of much higher value than what a typical design agency would usually offer.
P A R T N E R
For special brands seeking win-win situations that share a common purpose toward meaningful impact for humanity.
With the shift in our mentality of service throughout the creation of E L E V A T E, new and existing client's automatically began to resonate with the potential of our contributions which led to meetings around actual percentages of their company to have us more involved in their projects.
Without a clear structure in place of how that would actually look, we found ourselves not being able to distinctly differentiate between client's who wanted our services for the short-term and client's who wanted our commitment for the long-term.
And so, P A R T N E R was born. Client's now have the ability to collaborate with us, as partners, from the outset or begin with the E L E V A T E package with the intention, if they like, to evolve our relationship to P A R T N E R level.
With this model now in place, 2022 finds us in this position with significant brands across 3 different industries: Blockchain, Design & Planetary Maintenance.
PROJECTED FOR GROWTH
Partnerships Made in Heaven.
OUR WHY
It's knowing that each individual pixel created has a purpose of impacting someone's life... It runs that deep.
With a thirst for disrupting industries and generating exponential ideas, we thrive on bringing valuable and unique perspectives alongside ever growing optimism in times of fast-paced change, crisis or innovation. We leverage this mindset to find solutions for industries where the masses seem to be moving in one direction.
The reason that drives our every endeavor, is to enhance life’s ventures with simplicity, accessibility and connectivity. If a service, industry or product is unclear, unreachable and unappealing, it boasts the perfect environment for us to enter the market with a game-changing solution.
OUR PLEDGE
GROW
We often make mistakes, we can get things wrong and we sometimes make rash decisions.
We also review and analyse every event, we lead with transparency and an intense willingness to learn and within 3 years of leveling up, our growth suggests the next 3 will be nigh on outstanding.
We pledge to G R O W with you.
CREATE
We know how hard it is, sometimes, for an idea to be conceived of in the mind, accurately conveyed to another entity and then precisely created in the physical form.
In fact, we not only know how hard it is but, over the years, we have conditioned our minds to do just that, with unerring precision. You're in safe hands.
We pledge to C R E A T E with you.
LOVE
Love is freely used at home, with friends, and in relationships, in the hope to feel heard, seen and understood... Yet, we don't use that word in business? Where most of us spend the majority of our adult, waking life? Interesting.
At the very least, you can count on us to treat your project with just as much love as you do.
We pledge to L O V E with you.
I'M WELLING UP OVER HERE...
Let's meet us!
You've already met me, Pierre and you've heard me ramble on about our company for God know's how long now. I'd very much like to introduce you to DeAnna, my Co-Founder of Impact Designs, best friend, business partner and cousin!
She's keeps me growing, keeps the business from collapsing and keeps client's smiling when my introverted self forget's to send a Client Update Email. I wouldn't be doing this without her and I think You're gonna love her, just as much as I do!
HELLO EVERYONE!
Thank you Pierre, for that lovely intro! My name is DeAnna and I'm super grateful to hold your attention this far down in the website! We must be doing something right! I've popped a bit about myself below my image! See you on the other side!
DEANNA FORBES-SANCHEZ
From account executive to CEO in less than 6 weeks, I provide creative solutions at a fundamental level.
Meaning no matter the issue, or goal, I relish in designing the path that is needed to get your desired destination.
I strongly believe that every business is individual and should have all aspects of it’s journey treated as critically important to generate a holistic unit.
With the aim to bring hope for growth through flickers of creativity, I love the notion around the idea that: everything we see was once a small idea; a little flicker in thought that lead to the creation of something new.
My background in creative solutions, project management and large scale marketing, span clients like Virgin Media, VMware and Cannes Lions.
PIERRE YAMFAM
With the ability to reconstruct entire industries and disrupt tradition, Pierre changes ways of thinking at critical points.
He has a fine-tuned method of understanding complex systems and re-explaining them with immense simplicity and accessibility.
Pierre strives to leave the world in a better state than when how he found it and garners power and momentum from creating for others.
A self-taught Design Hybrid with 7 years experience, Pierre specialises in Platform UI, SaaS, Graphic Design and Strategic Consultancy.
His most recent client with Impact Designs is: NFT-MAKER PRO (Cardano’s largest NFT software, minting over 300,000 NFTs onto the Cardano Blockchain). As well as NHS partners. And Music Artist: Aitch.

Blockchain Projects
8 month's ago (April 2021), we didn't understand what a Blockchain was or what "going to the moon" meant, let alone Smart Contracts or Tokenomics. 8 Month's later and we're partners with the 3rd Biggest Blockchain's Minting Market Leaders: nft-maker.io - And here are two highlight projects we've worked on with them so far!

cnft-awards.io is a yearly CNFT AWARDS EVENT, powered by our Partners, NFT-MAKER and supported by some of Cardano's biggest players: IOHK, CNFT.IO & EMURGO.
We gained brand new experiences from working alongside new team members from other companies and alongside the project's twists and turns, we successfully collected over 1,000 NFT Applications in under 48 hours of launching! A hugely overwhelming and unexpected reaction to a time pressured build-up to going live!

It's always interesting to see how a project develops from it's initial designs to the final piece... Let's just say, developing websites is not a place for a recovering perfectionist designer.
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN....

This is where we started! Designing websites for various clients and so we found it fitting to show-off two of our most earliest and still existing Client's from 3 years ago. Officially Urban & GMR Earth.

There is a seat at the heart of society for Fashion, just as their is a seat in our heart for Officially Urban! These guys always stuck with us as we began branching out into different fields of design and we thank them for their consistency. We think what kept us in the game with Officially Urban all these years is our deep understanding or their brand and our ability to convert their vision into reality with extreme accuracy!

CORPORATE PRESENTATION DECK
GME Earth was such a clean, straightforward and wholesome project! We remember when our contact from Australia brought us the lead, they wanted so much done and they wanted it done in 7 days flat! On time and to a very high-standard, GME Earth has turned into a multitude of other referrals and projects due to that single sprint project turnaround.

OUR LOVE FOR...
Branding Projects
All three of the brands mentioned throughout this website (Ebonista, Always Be Moving & Shea Luv) have all been delivered to the Client only to be met with waves of tears all down to deep elation!
As the commercially most successful Cardano NFT project to date, the unsigned_algorithms have set new standards for art on Cardano. The project has attracted a large amount of non-crypto natives and introduced them into the NFT space.
SCENE BY SCENE, WE LOVE TO TAKE ON...
Media Projects
Capturing a moment and eliciting motion and emotion through media creation is undoubtedly a magical moment for our team. We spend pain staking hours on perfecting each frame to ensure we get the best fits for the viewer.

FAQs
-
How much do you charge for a website?This is the most commonly asked question by the majority of people who are looking to start something new! Unfortunately, we can't give you that answer until we have a complete understanding of what your website does, how big it actually is and who'll be using it. You should try and have a very basic understanding of these 3 questions when reaching out to us. However so you have an idea, we have charged anywhere from £1,000 to £75,000 for a website platform, it all depends on how you need your cake to be baked!
-
How can you guarantee results if we hire you for Marketing?This is a simple one. We can't! As the Marketing Team, our role is to advise an optimal strategy for communicating your product or service to your target audience, sufficiently enough that they take your desired action. However, as we have no control over how good your service or product is, your customer service or your vision, we can't assume that an amazing Marketing Plan & Execution Service will create incredible results, because once a potential customer comes, it's then out of our hands as to how they find the interaction with your brand. We can, however, set up funnels for your brand, which will enable you to pin point at exactly what stage your potential customers are falling out of your Brand's funnel and therefore advise you on how to improve that specific hole in your bucket!
-
What kind of Partnership Deals do you offer?Any Partnership will have to be beneficial to both parties and play to each other's strengths. Three popular relationships we strike at the moment are: - No Upfront Fee - Our most popular relationship, where we complete work to help your brand grow and in return, we own a percentage of the brand. - Monthly Top-Up - Where a brand that needs ongoing work agrees on a bucket of hours which is topped up every month. For example: 160 hours a month for a designer from our team. We agree on the rates and now, every month you now have 160 hours of dedicated design time for your brand to use. At the beginning of every month you "top-up" your bucket of hours. - Split Payments - Where a large project comes is priced at a large amount, let's say $100k. We can accept a deposit payment and then, either for a percentage in the brand or for slightly more than the price, we split up the payments across a certain number of months that work for you!
-
Where is your team based?The UK, Germany, America, Spain and the Philippines!
-
How do payments work?In general, the first project will be 50% upfront, 25%, 15% and 10% in project milestone payments. Then, hopefully we work together again and we're both happy with the quality of delivery. For the second project onwards, we work on a payment-on-advance basis. Which means work is completed once the fees are paid in full.
