Our friendly and knowledgeable staff are on hand to provide guidance and support. Talk to us in person,
online, or on the telephone.

Pet HatesThings you should try to avoid…
Borders around your text should be used with care
Make sure you use enough white space
Don’t use too many colours
or combine too many typefaces(use 2-3 max and make them different)
PLEASE DO NOT TYPE BODY TEXT IN UPPER CASE
AND NEVER, EVER, EVER USE A COMBINATION OF
ANY OF THESE!
Never underline headings.(Unless you’re using a manual
typewriter.)
Avoid using Comic Sans
