papergecko: Web Design & Artists' Books

Book design, web design and photography by papergeckoHello, we're a small web and print design company, based in Crickhowell, South Wales and run by artist and designer Stefhan Caddick.

We build websites for arts organisations, artists, non-profits, the voluntary sector and small businesses.

We love usability, accessibility, WordPress, sticking to budgets, open source, the web, bilingualism, recycled paper and space flight.

We also design for print. We've made maps, sticky labels, cardboard bricks, business cards and postcards (amongst other things), but we specialise in short run books for artists and arts organisations. These range from lavish, cloth bound hardback books to pocket-sized paperback publications.

If you'd like to discuss a project, get a quote, or just for a chat, please get in touch, we'd love to hear from you!
