Cross Origin

Haywards Heath, Royaume-Uni

Axée sur la marque. Conçue pour fonctionner en ligne.

Cross Origin est une agence de branding et de conception web basée à Haywards Heath, dans le Mid Sussex. Nous travaillons avec des entreprises et des associations du Sussex et du Sud-Est pour définir leur marque, puis la faire fonctionner en ligne. L’agence est dirigée par ses fondateurs Piero Barba, directeur de la création, et Tim Vaughan, directeur digital, aux côtés de Claire Scott, responsable de la stratégie de contenu, et de Paul Block, designer senior. Nous gardons une équipe réduite et expérimentée : les personnes que vous rencontrez au début sont celles qui réalisent le travail. Chaque projet commence par la compréhension, avant le design. Nous examinons la manière dont votre marque est perçue aujourd’hui, ce que votre audience doit savoir et où se situe l’écart entre l’organisation que vous êtes et celle que les gens voient. Pour les clients qui souhaitent d’abord obtenir cette clarté, notre service Diagnostics est un audit structuré de la marque et du digital qui montre précisément ce qui doit changer. Notre travail s’articule ensuite autour de trois domaines. Create couvre la stratégie de marque, le positionnement, le messaging et l’identité visuelle. Build couvre la conception et le développement de sites web sur mesure, avec hébergement géré et accompagnement continu. Grow couvre le marketing digital, notamment le SEO et l’aide apportée à votre entreprise pour être comprise et recommandée par des outils de recherche fondés sur l’IA tels que ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews et Perplexity. La stratégie de marque et la création du site web sont réunies au sein d’une seule équipe. Votre site web n’est pas transmis à un développeur distinct travaillant à partir du brief de quelqu’un d’autre : les décisions prises lors de la stratégie se retrouvent donc dans la structure des pages, les textes et le code. Nos clients comprennent des associations et des entreprises immobilières, et nous avons créé des produits numériques avec et pour des personnes ayant des troubles de l’apprentissage et de l’autisme. Si votre entreprise a évolué mais pas votre marque, nous serions ravis d’échanger avec vous. Axée sur la marque. Conçue pour fonctionner en ligne.

Description
Our branding and positioning work starts with understanding, not design. We look at how your brand is seen today, what your audience needs to know, and where the gap sits between the organisation you are and the one people see. That comes from conversations with your team, a review of your current brand and website, and a look at the competitors your customers are weighing you against. From there, we define your positioning, shape the messaging that explains what you do and why it matters, and develop a visual identity that expresses it with clarity and consistency. You work directly with our founders and senior team throughout, with clear stages and regular check-ins, so decisions are made together rather than presented as a finished surprise. You come away with a brand strategy, a messaging framework, a visual identity and guidelines your team can use with confidence. Because brand strategy and website build sit within one team, the thinking carries straight through to your website when you're ready, so nothing gets lost between the strategy and the build.

Description
Our SEO work starts with your brand, because search engines and AI tools can only recommend you clearly if your positioning and messaging are clear first. We begin with an SEO audit covering technical health, site structure, content and analytics, then set priorities based on what will make the biggest difference. On-page SEO includes keyword strategy, page structure, metadata, internal linking and structured data, built into the website rather than added afterwards. Off-page, we strengthen the local and authority signals that help you get found and trusted, including directory listings and consistent business information across the web. We also optimise for AI search, so tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity understand what you do and when to recommend you. Because we design and build websites too, SEO is part of every project we deliver, from logo and website rebranding to bespoke web development, with a CMS and blog your team can manage and web analytics that show what's working.

Description
Our graphic design work grows out of brand strategy, so every visual decision has a reason behind it. We start by understanding how your brand is seen today and what your audience needs to know, then develop a visual identity that expresses your positioning clearly. That includes logo design, colours and typography, imagery and a design system that keeps everything consistent as your organisation grows. From there, we apply the identity across digital and print, from website design and social media templates to brochures and printed materials. Because the same team designs and builds websites, your identity carries through to how your site looks and works online, not just how it looks on paper. You leave with clear brand guidelines and assets your team can use with confidence.

Description
We design and build e-commerce websites that reflect your brand and make buying straightforward. Every project starts with understanding your customers and how they shop, so the site structure, product pages and checkout are shaped around real buying decisions rather than a template. We handle the full build, including the shopping cart and secure payment gateway integration, with a CMS your team can use to manage products, content and orders. SEO is built in from the start: on-page, product and category pages are structured to be found in search and understood by AI tools, and off-page, we strengthen the authority signals that help your shop get found and trusted. Because brand strategy and website build sit within one team, your online shop looks, reads and works like the rest of your brand.

Description
We design and build bespoke websites that start with your brand, not a template. Every project begins with understanding how your organisation is seen today and what your audience needs to know, so the site structure, content and design are shaped around clear positioning. For businesses that have outgrown their current site, website rebranding brings your online presence back in line with where you are now. Our team handles web design, creative design and content creation, then builds the site in-house, from multi-page websites with a CMS your team can manage to single page applications where the project calls for one. On-page SEO is built into the structure from the start, and off-page work strengthens the signals that help you get found and recommended, including by AI search tools. After launch, we look after domain hosting and website maintenance, so your site stays secure, fast and up to date. Because brand strategy and website build sit within one team, nothing gets lost between the thinking and the build.

Description
Our UX and UI work starts with the people who will use your website. Through user research and design thinking, we look at who your audience is, what they need to find and where they get stuck, then shape the structure and interface around real behaviour rather than assumptions. For focused challenges, a design sprint helps us test ideas quickly before committing to a full build. We bring the interface together in a design system, so components, colours and typography stay consistent across every page and every future update. That same consistency carries into your wider digital design, from graphic design to social media assets. We have built digital products with and for people with learning disabilities and autism, and that experience shapes how we approach clarity and accessibility on every project. Because our team handles web development in-house, the design is built as intended, not reinterpreted by a separate developer.

HistoireCross Origin started in 2019, when Piero Barba and Tim Vaughan left their director roles at a marketing agency to take on a large branding project of their own. The name is the meeting point between brand, Piero's side, and digital, Tim's. It still shapes how we work: one team from brand strategy to finished website.

Josh WickwarManaging Director chez PSP Homes

5/5

We (PSPhomes Estate Agents) have recently worked with Piero & Tim to build our brand new website and couldn't recommend them highly enough. They're knowledge and enthusiasm made the experience really enjoyable and we are ecstatic with the final result. Our old website was dated and "clunky" but the new one looks cool, modern and sleek. We also rebranded (so our image matched the quality of our website) and their creative design means we now have an image that we are proud of. Thanks for everything chaps, we're now proud to point clients in the direction of our website whereas we were actively pushing them away before! If you're thinking of having a new website built, think Cross Origin - you won't regret it!!
