Parallax Studio Get in touch

A brand and website studio in Poole

First drawn,
then built.

What we do

First drawn, then built means we settle what your business needs to say, on paper, before anything is designed or built.

Most designers and developers need you to tell them what to build. We start one step earlier. We work out what your business needs to say to the people you want to reach, then we design and build the brand and the website around that, so you never have to describe what you want.

What we design and build

Three ways in

There are three kinds of work we do, and every price is published with what it includes.

01

Websites

A new website, or a refresh of the one you have: we work out the structure, write the words for every page, and design and build it through to live.

02

Branding

From refreshed colours and type to a full new identity with a logo, a tone of voice and guidelines.

03

Apps and software

Small working tools that do one job well, like a booking system or a client portal.

Every price is published with what it includes. See the pricing.

How we work

It starts with two questions

01 · Two questions

Do you have a website today, and do you like your brand? Your answers tell us which of the three kinds of work you need and what it costs.

02 · Written down first

Before anything is designed, we write down what your site needs to say, so you never have to describe what you want.

03 · Real pages to react to

Then we bring you real pages to look at and you tell us what feels right. Reacting takes minutes, and a project goes live in weeks.

Why now

Buyers now research with AI

When someone needed an accountant or a physiotherapist, they used to search Google and get a list of businesses. Now many of them ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude or Google’s AI instead, and the AI reads what each business has published on its website and recommends one, with reasons.

So a business is no longer only found or not found. It is judged first, by the AI, before the person ever visits. What your website says now decides more than it used to.

SEARCH A LIST AI THE SAME LIST, WITH A RECOMMENDATION

We build for that. We write every page around the questions your customers actually ask, in plain words, and we build the pages so that a person and a tool like ChatGPT can both read what you do and where you work.

It is why our own prices are published in full: a clear, checkable statement is the kind ChatGPT repeats. If you take Care Plus after the site is live, we check every month how your business shows up in Google and in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude, and send you a short note on what we found and what we changed.
