Project Breakdown

When we first spoke with Photo Experience, the brief was simple: build a new website.

But as we dug deeper, it became clear the brand needed stronger foundations before we touched the site.

We led their team through a full brand workshop, split across three focused sessions.

We started by uncovering their brand core - what drives them, what they stand for, and where they’re going.
Then we defined their purpose, mission, vision, and values.
Next, we explored their positioning in the market and developed clear brand personas.

The outcome was a strategy that gave their team clarity - and gave us everything we needed to bring the brand to life.

We built:
‍
A brand identity rooted in purpose and aligned across the business
A set of clear, practical brand guidelines to ensure consistency
A new website that showcases their story, their energy, and their growth

Now, Photo Experience is positioned for expansion across Europe - partnering with some of the continent’s most visited attractions.

The new site doesn’t just look good.
It feels like them.
It captures the emotion behind what they do - helping people hold on to their most important memories.

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers you're looking for.

What if my project needs change halfway through?

Priorities change, especially in fast-paced industries. For fixed projects, we’ll update the scope of work if anything new is needed. If you're on a monthly plan, we'll update Trello and continue delivering as usual.

Can you work with our in-house team?

100%. We’re used to working alongside internal teams and third-party partners to keep things aligned and moving smoothly. We plug into your team wherever needed - that’s how we work with clients like Quod Financial, Black & White Bridging, and many others.

Why not hire designers or developers full-time?

Hiring full-time takes time, budget, and long-term commitment. With us, you get a team ready to start right away - no hiring, no onboarding, no overhead. And you can pause or cancel anytime.

hydro vs other agencies

Working with multiple contractors usually means more calls, more updates, and more misalignment. At hydro, you get one integrated team with a dedicated project manager. We handle everything from strategy to execution - saving you time and keeping things on track.

How many people will I work with?

Depends on what you need. Our monthly plan gives you access to 1-2 designers, developers + PM. Bigger projects = double the firepower.

Do you work on projects or subscription only?

Both. Our monthly plan is £3,999/pm and one-off projects start at £5K. If you need something bespoke, get in touch and we'll build a quote for you.

Can you help with branding, website, and design?

Definitely. Whether it’s a new brand and Webflow site, or a full UX/UI revamp, we’ve delivered it all - quickly. You can pick what you need, when you need it, and we'll bring your vision to life with ease.

How do I get started with you?

Just an accepted quote, signed T&Cs, and a first payment. That’s it. We get you onboarded fast so we can get to work the same day.

What does communication and workflow look like?

We work through Trello and Slack - giving you quick updates, and tight feedback loops. No long meetings. Just steady progress. We can also plug into existing tools to keep things seamless.

Can I pause my monthly plan?

You can pause or adjust your plan - we keep things simple. Just give us a heads-up beforehand so we can update our workflow.
