Does this sound familiar?

We can help: We help you outshine the competition with professional signs and graphics that give you the edge.

What our clients say about us...
"We honestly shed a tear when we saw what he had created!"
I cannot thank Daniel enough for his patience with us on choosing our sign and frosting! He was an actual saint from beginning to end! Upon having our sign made up we were hit with some unexpected scaffolding on our building which prevented the installation. Dan was so understanding and his patience made what could have been an extremely frustrating time that little bit easier!
We went to him with nothing but a vision in our head with absolutely no idea but he brought that vision to life and we couldn’t be more made up!
It is better than we ever even dreamed of and we honestly shed a tear when we saw what he had created!
Thank you so so much!!! We are absolutely over the moon!!!!

"I cried with happiness once I saw my sign lit up at night"
If I could leave 10 stars I most definitely would. Dan has been INCREDIBLE from the initial contact to installation. I can be a pain in the butt with what I want but he mastered every single detail and I am more than happy with every bit of his work and service.
I cried with happiness once I saw my sign lit up at night (dramatic I know). Also have been quoted for a projecting sign which we can hopefully get on with alongside the signs and neon he has already made and installed for me.
Bryony – LUMINOSITY
"I get so many compliments on it"
Alex – Titan Tail Lifts
"The whole process was absolutely seamless."
Dan was simply a joy to work with – from the moment we contacted him he made the process easy and enjoyable for us. Our signage was designed, completed and installed within a few weeks and the whole process was absolutely seamless. Dan is a true professional and really is great at what he does – I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again for future projects or to recommend him to anybody needing these services in the future. Thanks so much Dan!
Georgia – Nancy’s Groom Room
"High quality product at very reasonable prices"
We are nearing completion of a building project of 10 luxury apartments and needed high quality signs quickly. Massive thanks to Daniel and his team for being so quick with a high quality product at very reasonable prices. Daniel was always available for us to bounce ideas off him and we are very pleased with the final product. Thank you so much and we would highly recommend.
Glenn – City Escape
"The office looks great now!"
Design It were great to work from start to finish. We had a very specific project to integrate our company values within our building and the outcome was great!. The office looks great now! On time, flexible and easy to work with. Highly recommended.

"Highly recommend this"
The absolute BEST! Couldn’t of asked for more of Design It: sign & print👏🏻
Not only did they make my idea a reality but truly made my sign a beauty to look at ❤️
Such an understanding welcoming team to work with and gave brilliant advice, I look forward to working with you again, thank you so so much❤️
Caroline – The Basement
"Went above and beyond to work with me"
Design It was a great choice when deciding the company sign for my business, the team were especially helpful and Dan in particular who was very genuine went above and beyond to work with me on making sure the design was right and also to ensure the work was done to the highest quality standard.
Fabian – The Family Coffee House
"Spend your money on this guy he’s worth every penny"
Dan has been incredible from start to finish of the process, from designing my artwork ground up, all the way through multiple revisions and then nailing the installation of the graphics on my van. Can’t ask for more, spend your money on this guy he’s worth every penny. I’ll be ordering business cards and leaflets going forwards. Thanks Dan 👍
Dean – Wolf Security Systems
"Professional, prompt and delivered everything I needed"
Just used these guys in Manchester Arndale, they were very professional, prompt and delivered everything I needed. Nice to use local people. Recommend to anyone thinking of using them. Thanks for a job well done.
Raj – Coffee Break
"They left us all smiling"
We recently used Design It Signs & Print to replace the existing signage at a couple of our dental practices in the Manchester area, and to cut a long story short, they left us all smiling! From the initial contact and quotation all the way through to signing off after installation, Dan was polite, efficient, and professional. His updates were always thorough and clear, and his flexibility to work around the practice to minimise any disruption was commendable. The result…two practices complete with newly-branded external signs that look fantastic and really showcase the brand. We will certainly consider using Dan and Design It Sign & Print for our other practices in the future.

Real shops. Real results.
We followed up with some of our clients to ask how their new signs have impacted their business — and the results speak for themselves.
Each one reported increased visibility, more foot traffic, and a noticeable boost in sales. But don’t just take it from us, hear it straight from them below.
“We’ve 100% seen an influx of clients!
Since we’ve had the signage the new clients coming through the door are actually telling us they noticed the sign and decided to get booked in.
Definitely a great decision to upgrade and rebrand.”
Hayley – Elements Health & Beauty
“Oh gosh yes! As you know we were open a couple of weeks before the sign went up and literally from the moment it went up, the amount of walk-in clients we had were insane!
People are constantly popping in to tell us how much they love the lights on the sign and how much it stands out!
We are on a bus route and clients are constantly telling us they’ve found us just by driving past and seeing the shop from the route. We can’t thank you enough!”
Natasha – NQ Wax Studio
“Yes definitely!
Well we had our sign installed before we opened and when it went up we had lots of enquiries through social media from people passing by saying they noticed our sign.
We still do get compliments on the quality of the sign. We were in contact with quite a few sign businesses but personally are so so happy we found you and couldn’t be happier with it.”
