| Introduction | Stembridge are a graphic design and web design company based in Axminster, a small market town in Devon, famous for its carpet-making and, these days, River Cottage. We’re small, friendly and unpretentious - a bit like Axminster itself - and specialise in corporate identity and brand development for businesses in East Devon, South Somerset and West Dorset. That said, we can turn our mind to pretty much anything - apart from (maybe) lion-taming - including business stationery, promotional items, marketing advice, websites and print management. Our design work is all carried out in-house, including any copywriting - ensuring cohesive results that will always sound right, as well as look right. |
