Cornerstone Partner: South Hams Signs

A business is seen in more places than its website. Customers may first notice a van, a shop sign, a site board, a printed leaflet or a member of staff in branded workwear. The website and marketing should feel like part of the same business.

Cornerstone Websites works closely with South Hams Signs in Kingsbridge. South Hams Signs provides website services through Cornerstone, while continuing to look after branding, signage, vehicle graphics, print and workwear.

One business identity, used properly everywhere

Start with what the business needs

Some clients need a website first. Others are opening premises, adding vehicles, changing their identity or preparing for an event. The useful starting point is not a list of products. It is understanding where the business will be seen, what already exists and what needs to change.

That lets the website, photography, signs and printed material be planned with the same identity in mind. Each specialist remains responsible for their own work, but the separate parts do not have to be commissioned as unrelated jobs.

Clear responsibility for each part

Cornerstone plans, designs, builds, hosts and supports the website. Through Cornerstone Photography, we can also provide the commercial photography, video and aerial imagery needed for websites, print and wider marketing.

South Hams Signs is responsible for logo and graphic design, signs, vehicle graphics, print, branded clothing and its other specialist services.

How the partnership works

Each business remains responsible for its own specialist work. Where a project overlaps, the website, imagery and physical materials can be planned with the same identity and practical requirements in mind.

Branding, print and workwear

Branding, print and workwear

South Hams Signs can help with logos and visual identity, business stationery, leaflets, posters, packaging, exhibition material and branded clothing. Approved brand files can then be used consistently across the website and photography.

When this approach is useful

This way of working is particularly useful when a business is:

  • starting from scratch;
  • rebranding or refreshing an established identity;
  • opening or refurbishing premises;
  • adding vehicles or replacing existing graphics;
  • preparing for an exhibition or event; or
  • replacing a website while updating photography, signs or printed material.

The useful part is agreeing what belongs with each specialist before production begins.

South Hams Signs also provides kitchen, furniture and interior vinyl wrapping, along with vehicle detailing and ceramic coatings. These can be discussed directly with its team.

Vehicle graphics and wraps

Vehicle work ranges from clear business lettering and decals to part and full wraps. Good vehicle graphics need to be readable, recognisable and practical for the shape and use of the vehicle.

Branding, print and workwear

Logos, printed material, exhibition graphics and branded clothing often need the same core identity as the website. Working from approved files helps avoid conflicting colours, poor-quality logos and different versions appearing in different places.
