• About Lynx Graphic Design

    Lynx Graphic Design, based in Edinburgh, Scotland, was established in 1999 as Textlynx web and print services.

    Initially the company was focused on editing and proof-reading and in producing largely text-based print and web projects.

    However, in the course of a decade of trading, a shift to the graphic design aspects of our work, and the addition of PHP coding and MySQL databasing to our web services meant that in 2009 we decided the new name would better reflect the services we now provide.

    We believe our prices represents excellent value. We rely mainly on word of mouth referrals and the web for new business, so do not have the large advertising overhead of some design companies.

  • News from Lynx Graphic Design

    October 2011

    Our decision to start offering clients Wordpress-based websites is proving popular. Since the introduction of Wordpress 3, it has developed beyond its blogging roots and become a very cost-effective way of providing full content management for many small and medium-sized websites. It provides end users with a relatively simple content management system (CMS) without the steep learning curve of some other CMSs. We have several new Wordpress sites due to go online in late October/early November.

  • Lynx Graphic Design clients

    We have a wide range of clients, mainly but not exclusively in Scotland.

    Our interest in environmental issues has helped us to work with a range of organisations from local groups like Road Sense in Aberdeen and Friends of the Earth Tayside to Ramblers Scotland, Scottish Environment LINK and WWF Scotland.

    Clients involved in community projects include Comrie Development Trust, Corstorphine Fair and Pilton Community Health Project.

    We have worked with MPs and MSPs from the Greens, Lib Dems and Labour.

    SSE (Scottish and Southern Energy) have been clients for several projects, including the 2020 Climate Group and Galloper Wind Farm.

  • Discounts for charities and non-profit groups

    We believe our standard prices represent excellent value for money. In addition, we offer discounted rates for charities and non-profit organisations.

    A discount of 10% on design and development rates is offered to all charities and non-profit organisations. This increases to 20% for members of Scottish Environment LINK.

    While these discounts do not apply to services such as web hosting, domain name registration or printing, we always look for best value from these outsourced services.

  • Our environmental commitment

    We recognise the importance of trying to minimise our environmental impact.

    Energy use is an important criterion in our purchasing decisions. Our electricity is from a 100% renewables tariff and our gas supply has a 100% carbon offset. All lightbulbs are low energy. Kettle is energy efficient and water-saving. Tea and coffee are Fairtrade. Paper, cardboard, metal, plastic and glass are recycled where possible.

    We use recycled or Forest Stewardship Council assured paper, and vegetable oil based ink whenever possible for our printing and encourage print clients to choose likewise.

    All travel conducted on behalf of the company is made using public transport or occasionally by car sharing.
