Do you work on templates created by others?
While we do not directly edit templates designed by other providers, we’re happy to review them and provide recommendations for improvement. We can assess your current files and suggest ways to:
- Align with updated brand guidelines
- Improve usability and structural consistency
- Enhance accessibility and performance
- Streamline the number of templates
- Add features like custom toolbars or automation where appropriate
This is a great option if you’re unsure whether to replace or refine your existing assets.
Can you migrate our templates for SharePoint or cloud environments?
Our templates are optimized primarily for use in the desktop versions of Microsoft Office. We do support deployment on SharePoint or Microsoft 365 to the extent these platforms allow, but we advise that full formatting and functionality are best preserved in the desktop environment. If you plan to use cloud-based editing, we can build with that in mind to ensure consistent rendering across platforms.
Do you offer formatting and document clean-up services?
Absolutely. We have extensive experience in formatting reports, presentations, and complex documents in Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint and Microsoft Excel. Whether it’s an investor deck, an annual report, or a policy manual, we can design, proof, and format your file for clarity, brand consistency, and visual impact.
Can you create animations or video presentations?
Yes. We can design animated slide decks and interactive storytelling presentations using native PowerPoint animation techniques. Whether it’s for a sales pitch, product launch, or event keynote, we can help you build engaging, dynamic content. We also support creating presentation-led videos and motion slideshows directly in PowerPoint.
Can you help with our branding or work with our in-house team?
Definitely. We are well-versed in applying brand guidelines to Office environments. Whether you’ve got a detailed brand manual or just a few initial assets, we can create fully branded templates from scratch or develop systems based on your vision. We also frequently collaborate with internal design, brand, communications, and marketing teams to roll out template suites, ensure adoption, and maintain brand integrity across all Office outputs.
Do you offer training for using the templates?
Yes, we offer tailored user training sessions—both virtually and in person. These sessions help teams understand how to use the templates correctly, apply brand elements properly, and make full use of the built-in features. We can also provide quick-start guides or onboarding toolkits if needed.
Can you provide samples of your work?
Due to confidentiality, we cannot share original files from client projects. However, you can browse a selection of our past work on our website. We’re also happy to offer a walkthrough via a video call where we can demonstrate key features and examples.
How much experience do you have?
We bring over two decades of experience in the industry. Our background in corporate presentation design and desktop publishing gives us a deep understanding of how professionals use Microsoft Office. We combine technical expertise with user-focused design to build tools that save time and reduce formatting errors.
How do you charge for a project?
We quote based on the scope and specific requirements of each project. For ongoing formatting or support needs, we offer ad-hoc hourly packages or dedicated monthly retainers to ensure quick turnaround and priority service.
How long does a typical project take?
Project timelines vary depending on complexity, volume, and whether custom coding or automation is required. We’ll always provide a timeline once we’ve reviewed the brief, and we work closely with our clients to meet deadlines without compromising quality.
