The Wells Academy Uses Design Cloud to Meet a High Demand for Graphic Design

Here’s how The Wells Academy decided to ditch old-school design support in favour of an unlimited graphic design subscription plan.

30,000+ DESIGN REQUESTS COMPLETED for over 450 teams

Intro + Problem

The Wells Academy is a large secondary school based in Nottingham, they strive for excellence and exceptional quality in education for hundreds of students. You can learn more about the great work The Wells Academy are doing here. 

With a need to create an online presence and resources that reflected their standards in education, Wells were seeking a budget-friendly and efficient way to outsource their graphic design needs. They needed support but like most schools they did not have the budget or resource to hire an internal designer. This meant that the design work was being left to whoever needed it. That needed to stop and that’s where Design Cloud came in.

The Solution

The Wells Academy were initially sceptical having never used a subscription design service but after booking a demo with an expert they quickly saw the potential and how their staff could use a Design Cloud to free up their time and fulfil their design needs. After signing up, they were teamed up with their dedicated designer in less than one business day and got started on their outstanding design to-do list which included requests like prospectuses, stationary, posters, school signs, handbooks, and organisatinoal charts to name a few.

By using Design Cloud, The Wells Academy met their graphic design needs in a way that was flexible and future-proof. Working with one dedicated designer, they worked on a huge variety of different design requests to help update existing marketing materials and make lots more valuable content used throughout their facility, all whilst saving thousands had they decided to use traditional design support methods.
