Alpine Specialist | Website build & Branding
The Brief
Alpine Specialist are experts in the Alpine property field delivering the highest level of advice, guidance & discretion. Since 2006 Andrew and his team have advised their clients through millions of pounds worth of French & Swiss Alpine property.
During our initial meetings with Andrew it was clear the service offered by Alpine Specialist was something very special.
The Approach
Having spent time on the previous website it was clear things needed an update, starting with the Alpine Specialist branding.
During the initial branding review we worked with Andrew to highlight brands that he used, liked, purchased from & felt targeted similar clientele. This allowed us to understand his view of the Alpine Specialist brand and how best to step forward into the logo design.
After reviewing initial sketches with the Alpine team & moving onto later stages of the logo design we spent a lot of time working through font formations to come to the final logo. Once paired with the powder blue of Alpine Specialist the brand was complete!
Our focus then turned onto the website design & development. Which after reviewing data, content and requirements from Andrew we began to design the AS website utilising some of the beautiful imagery of the region.
By using striking imagery & partnering this with some carefully crafted content we came to a beautiful end result… if we do say so ourselves!
Since launch we are continuing to work with the Alpine Specialist team to further promote the brand and work with them to achieve business objectives. Visit the website here – http://alpinespecialist.com/
I have worked with creative blend for the design of my company website and rebranding of the logo. Grant and the team has been very reactive and helpful all the way throughout the process and the Creative blend team have been quick to understand various feedback and adapt this to the end product. I am very happy with their services and can recommend them.

I worked with Grant and the team for the launching of my rebranded company. They were brilliant from start to finish, the website design was incredible and I was taken through it step by step with so much patience and care, so I could go on to make changes and manage it myself. I came in for some training on social media marketing with the team which was invaluable, I learnt how I wanted my ‘brand voice’ to sound through fun exercises and was given so many tips on SEO & Social Media, it was more than I’d hoped for. They have always been on the end of my panic emails & answer quickly and effectively, have even responded to my urgent ‘HELP ME!’ messages at the weekend. The fact that they have such a great ethical policy as well just put the cherry on the top really & I would never go elsewhere for anything to do with the marketing or design of my company.

We have worked with Creative Blend for over 9 months now and during this time we have enjoyed great communication with friendly advice. This was a key feature throughout the build of our new website, which kept us informed and helped us make key decisions at each stage. We now look forward to continuing to work with them through out new digital projects!

Precise, thorough and organised are some of Grants key skills, but when you add that to a great team player and a great personality, you get the complete package. His enthusiasm is second to none, but this is also backed up with excellent results. People who work with him love him and so do his clients. A great and invaluable asset to any company.

Creative Blend have been generously contributing their skills, expertise and creative thinking to Love Is All We Need for the past 18 months. Their professional and friendly way of being is invaluable to us as a charity that exists on a purely volunteer and pro bono basis.

I had the pleasure of working on a variety of web development projects with Grant and found his ability to get to the route of the problem invaluable. Grant has a natural skill for providing workable solutions through his designs, he fully understands potential technical limitations, keeps the end user at the core of his designs and is great at expressing his ideas to us non-designers. Grant is also an exceptional leader. He gives his team the freedom to explore new ideas and the support they need to see their work come to life. He’s encouraging and keen to develop their skills at any given opportunity.
