Is Neely a brand agency like Gigantic?

No — and that's the point. Gigantic is excellent at brand identity and creative. Neely is a web-development practice: the deliverable is a fast, found-in-search, conversion-focused website and the systems behind it. If you need a full brand identity, they're a strong choice; if you need a site that books work, that's us.

Can you handle design, or should I bring a brand agency?

We design every site to a high, conversion-led standard and can work from your existing brand or build a clean one. For deep brand strategy and identity work, a dedicated brand studio is the right tool — and we'll happily build on top of great brand work.
