Design for Durham businesses
Durham is a small cathedral city with a big reputation. The cathedral and castle form a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Durham University dominates much of the local economy. Its research in physics, space science, biosciences and computing feeds spin-outs, many of which move to NETPark at Sedgefield, the science park focused on printable electronics, photonics, semiconductors and space technology.
Deep-tech start-ups need to explain things that are genuinely hard to explain. A good pitch deck, clear technical diagrams and 3D renders of a device that may not physically exist yet help investors and partners understand what they are looking at. We work from your sketches, CAD and data, and send everything back for technical checking.
Tourism is the other visible side of the city. Visitors come for the cathedral, the castle, the riverbanks and events such as Lumiere, and hotels, cafés, attractions and shops need visitor leaflets, illustrated maps, menus and venue photography. Many trade from old buildings on the peninsula where signage has to suit a conservation setting.

The student market is large, so lettings agents and landlords need fast, consistent property photography and floor plans before each letting season. Durham is also the administrative centre for the county, so public sector suppliers need clear report and bid layouts. Design is done remotely from Mansfield; photography is shot on location in Durham with travel quoted. Nearby: Newcastle and Darlington.

Frequently asked questions
Can you photograph student lets in Durham before the letting season?
Yes. dijitul photographs rooms, kitchens and shared spaces with level verticals and balanced light, and can draw floor plans for each property. We shoot several properties in one visit to keep costs down. Half days are from £295 + VAT, with travel quoted.
Can you render a product that has not been built yet?
Yes. We create photoreal 3D renders from CAD files or detailed sketches, so you can show a device to investors before a prototype exists. Renders are quoted per image, with design and modelling time at £45 an hour + VAT.
Do you design for businesses at NETPark in Sedgefield?
Yes. We work with businesses across County Durham, including NETPark, Chester-le-Street and Bishop Auckland. Design is done remotely, so you never need to travel, and photography visits are quoted with travel from Mansfield included.
