I was looking for help in setting up a new company complete from business name, logo design through to website build and design. I found Jackie's company on an internet search for a Portsmouth based graphic design. I met with Jackie and she has been able to help me with all of the above and used her experience to steer me away from some of my own ideas which she was able to explain why they would not have worked. I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone in need of help with any or all of the above.

I highly recommend i-i-design. I hired them to design my logo and to sort my website out. They were always prompt and creative and offered me a high level of support and advice from start to finish. I will definitely be using them again in the future.
