Easy to digest, bite-sized portions. Yum yum.

    A couple of Richard’s friends from the good old days of Bluefrog got in touch to say they needed a visual identity and temporary site for their exciting start-up agency. And fast.

    We love a challenge, and it was good to be working with James and Tim again — it’d been a while. Anyway, five or six emails later, they got their new visual identity and a tiny little holding site. Lovely. Visit Open Fundraising's website. September 25th

    We’re really happy with our latest site — a makeover for Scottish noir and hardboiled fiction author, Allan Guthrie. This job’s been a genuine pleasure for us, we started out with a client and finished up with a friend. And a site we’re both proud of. Visit Allan Guthrie’s NOIR ORIGINALS. September 24th

    We’ve just published an updated version of Matthew James Crutchlow’s website. And over the next few weeks we’ll be adding in some new functionality. August 26th

    Que Rico! is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting children suffering from critical burns in Bolivia.

    Kind words from lovely people

    “We went from a vague idea to a visual identity and a site in three weeks. No stress. No bullsh!t. No nasty surprises. If you want web design to feel like having teeth pulled, go somewhere else. But If you want to fall off a log onto exactly what you need, talk to these folks.”

    “Richard Young Design Associates were brave enough to take on our old sprawling cobbled-together monster of a website. And we’re delighted with the results! A company that demonstrates remarkable levels of talent, diligence, patience and stamina, combined with an impressive speed of delivery and excellent communication, RYDA is most heartily recommended.”
    Allan Guthrie // Noir Originals

    “What more could anyone want from a web designer? Someone able to work to a napkin style brief, speedy response, all your questions answered, easy to use website, cool look — you’re a star, cheers!”
    NICK MARSH // VOLUNTARY PROJECTS OVERSEAS

    “We now know there is such a thing as a project that works simply and easily, so long as you chose the right partners. And RYDA are certainly the right partners for any web-based project.”
    WILLIAM BROWN // APPLE SOURCE

    RYDA made it easy. They understood what we wanted from a brief that — looking back — was extremely vague. They were creative and responsive; efficient and personable. In fact, from start to finish, it was a wonderfully stress-free experience. It hardly needs saying, but we’re delighted with the finished product.”
    MARK STANTON // JENNY BROWN ASSOCIATES

    “We were not only impressed with the creative solution that Richard Young Design Associates provided, but by their responsiveness and vision. It’s great to work with someone as enthusiastic about achieving success as we are.”
    CHRIS DRYSDALE // CLOUDSIDE INN

    “As an old-school acoustic musician, I’m not that hot on technology, so the guys at RYDA were a fantastic find. They listened to what I wanted and gave great advice on what would best suit someone like me. I must say they were a joy to deal with. And as for the results — I’m delighted.”
