About

What we do

Paper Voice specialises in using UX Design methods in creating the perfect design that reflects your business in the correct way, we do this by fully researching what our potential clients do and what services they offer to their own clients. This method allows us to create the correct design, whether that is a website, app, logo or even print design that will inspire their clients to engage, interact and make that purchase, which is our ultimate goal.

Our designs are not created for our own clients, they are created for our client’s clients, because if you’re business is a success then ours will be too.

Established in 2014, Paper Voice are specialists in high functioning UI Design. What exactly does that mean, well UI Design or User Interface Design is the practice of combining web and graphic design skills to create the perfect user experience for anyone interactive with an interface. An interface could be a website, an app, an operation system or even the TV guide on your HD box, Paper Voice focuses on UI Design for Websites in order to get the best possible user interaction for their clients.

Why? Simply because if we keep the clients of our own clients happy, then our clients will be happy.

What our clients say...

  • Our old website was non-responsive, out of date and didn’t represent the business in the right way. Paper Voice turned the whole website around, helped it to gain focus, and properly represent our business.

Web Design

Responsive web design is the practice of creating website that is optimised for any platform that is it is used on. This that the website is built to know what it is being viewed on, whether that is a desktop computer or laptop, or a smart phone or tablet.

Graphic Design

All of our graphic design packages comes with it’s own set of clear specifics, for instance with logo design, at the end of the project you will be given a fullscale vector of your completed logo in full colour and a reversible contrast option.

UX/UI Design

When using UX design methods for your UI design project we follow Agile methodology, this consists of thorough research, persona building, wireframing designs, user testing, strategy building and repeating certain steps until we know it works.
Founder

Steve Summerbell-Myers

In 2008 Steve made a major career change and decided to do something that he enjoyed and he was good at, it started with going to university in his mid 20’s and graduating with honours in 2011. From 2010 Steve started freelancing for various agencies in order to gain greater experience in the field of design, focusing on Web and Graphic design. A big part of Steve’s development was thanks to Total WSI Solutions/WSI Newcastle and the projects that he completed with them, this allowed Steve to work directly with multiple Content Management Systems, from Joomla, Magento, Drupal and ultimately sticking with WordPress in the end.

Steve’s designs skills have improved greatly since 2010 and he has worked on huge projects with clients such as Bauer Media, Subway, Dominos Pizza and The National Trust.

Steve also is an avid illustrator and has a portfolio of his work on his own website.

🔎 You don't need to rank for everything. You need to rank for the right things.One of the biggest misconceptions about SEO is that you need to cram every service, location and keyword you can think of onto your homepage.You don't.A good website gives different pages different jobs.Your homepage introduces the business.Your service pages explain what you actually do.Location pages can target relevant geographical searches.Useful content can answer the questions your potential customers are searching for. Instead of starting with “What keywords can we squeeze onto this page?”, start with:What is somebody actually searching for, and what would genuinely help them?More keywords ≠ better SEO.Give each page a clear purpose, create genuinely useful content and make it easy for both your visitors and search engines to understand.🦍 A good-looking website is great.

⭐ CLIENT WORDS #02One of the nicest things a client can say isn't just that they're happy with a website; it's that they still want to work with you years later.I've worked with Adam Chetter across multiple websites over the last five years, so it was particularly lovely to receive this feedback.Adam mentioned the quality of the work, but what stood out to me was what he said about reliability, honest advice and aftercare.A website launch shouldn't be the point where your web designer disappears.Websites evolve. Businesses change. Things occasionally need updating, fixing or improving. I've always wanted Paper Voice to be somebody clients can come back to when they need help, whether that's next week or several years down the line.So I particularly appreciated this:“What sets Steve apart is the aftercare. He doesn’t disappear once the job is done.”And I might have to borrow Adam's description of working with Paper Voice:“No chasing, no hassle, just solid results.” 😄Thanks for the kind words, Adam. They're very much appreciated.🦍 Paper Voice: Websites that look good. And work even better.#ClientWords #WebDesign #ClientFeedback #SmallBusiness #PaperVoice ...

👀 Don't play hide & seek with your contact details.Someone has found your website. They've looked through your services, they like what they see and they're ready to get in touch.Don't make the last step the hardest one.Your phone number, email address and contact page should be easy to find, especially on mobile.And when they do reach your enquiry form, think about what information you actually need.Name. Email. Message.Do you really need their job title, company size, annual turnover, mother's maiden name and favourite biscuit? 🍪Every unnecessary step is another opportunity for someone to give up.If somebody is ready to contact you, make it ridiculously easy.Good UX is often about removing obstacles rather than adding more features.🦍 Paper Voice: Websites that look good.

Steve of Papervoice web design has been a pleasure to work with. Steve designed my logo for my business. Great North Building Consultancy Limited, an RICS regulated building surveying practice. As a Building surveyor, I am trained to examine what is in front of me. So when trying to come up with logo ideas, I was staring at a blank page… That’s where Steve really helped me. His creative flare and sense of fun came through and he came up with some excellent draft ideas, it was hard to pick a favourite but we worked through, iterated, and Steve was super patient with me through the whole process. I think my logo looks amazing. Now I need to get the website done to proudly display it. If you’re looking for a professional yet fun working experience, I’d highly recommend working with Steve.

Thanks again Steve, I was talking to a new client last week, and asked where he got our details from. He said he had reviewed local advisers and viewed their websites, and said ours looked professional and had good reviews. So another new client generated from the website.

Steve designed my original logo and my whole website. The Logo was hand drawn and fit so perfectly with my ideas and colours. My website is amazing you can see its took alot of work and structure to perfect it. Steve also maintains my website monthly for me he is always on hand to explain and help with everything and anything I need. I highly recommend him to take care of your ideas and bring them to the world wide web for you.

I was recommended Steve at Paper Voice Web Design by another company we were working with and I'm glad we were! Communications were always timely, Steve is extremely competent and efficient and we were guided through the process seamlessly. Our setup wasn't quite standard but Steve was able to work with our external IT company to configure all the necessary 'backend' stuff too. Great job, would highly recommend!

I’ve worked with Steve at Paper Voice across multiple sites for the last five years. Every time, his approach has been consistent—reliable, professional, and easy to deal with. From the start, Steve has been approachable and quick to understand what we need. He listens well, gives honest advice, and gets on with the job. The standard of work is always high. What’s promised is exactly what’s delivered, and it’s done on time. That level of reliability is rare and something we’ve come to value. What sets Steve apart is the aftercare. He doesn’t disappear once the job is done. He’s always available by phone or email and quick to help if anything needs attention later on. That level of support makes a real difference. Over the years, Steve has become a trusted partner. He gets things right the first time, and that gives us confidence. No chasing, no hassle—just solid results. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for quality, consistency, and dependable service.
