Frequently asked questions

Commplicated.Design is a European deep tech branding and design studio. We work with science and engineering-led companies to shape positioning, narrative, and visual identity, and to make complex ideas clearer through well-structured communication and design systems.

Since 2025, Commplicated.Design has been part of Commplicated, a London-based PR, communications, and strategy firm. We work closely with the Commplicated team to align brand, design, and communications when clients need a more joined-up approach.

We are based in Copenhagen, Denmark, and work with teams across Europe. We collaborate closely with the wider Commplicated team in London.

By deep tech, we mean companies built on genuine scientific or engineering breakthroughs rather than surface-level software ideas. These are businesses grounded in fields like physics, materials science, advanced computing, or applied research, where progress depends on technical credibility, long development cycles, and defensible intellectual property.

Deep tech is not defined by whether something looks like an app or a platform, but by the depth of the underlying technology. It is often hard to build, hard to explain, and hard to replicate, which is exactly why clarity in positioning, design and communication matters.

We work with deep tech startups and scale-ups across areas like AI/ML, quantum computing, semiconductors, defence and security, life sciences, synthetic biology, and cleantech.

We tailor our work to your goals and usually combine services rather than delivering isolated one-offs. Typical scope includes brand strategy, brand identity, design systems, digital and UI design, pitch decks, product design, web design, and Webflow development.

We help teams explain what they do clearly, build trust with technical and non-technical audiences, and show up consistently across brand, website, and investor communications.

Depending on scope, we deliver positioning and messaging, visual identity, design systems, websites (often in Webflow), and supporting assets like pitch decks and launch or announcement materials.

Yes. We design and build websites in-house, and we often implement in Webflow with a scalable structure your team can maintain.

Yes. We often collaborate with in-house teams and external partners. When needed, we align brand, design, and communications so they support the same strategic goals.

It depends on scope and how ready your content is. Brand and narrative work can move quickly when we have access to decision makers and technical context. Websites depend on page count, content readiness, and review cycles. Smaller projects typically take 1–3 months, while more comprehensive brand and website projects usually take 3–6 months. Timing also depends on our current schedule and your team’s review cadence.

We typically price by project based on scope, complexity, and timeline. We define a clear scope so expectations and deliverables are explicit.

Yes. We can work with what you have, whether that’s evolving an identity, improving a website, or creating a new system if the current one no longer fits. The key is scoping it to your goals and constraints.

Yes. If you’re in stealth or sharing sensitive information, we’re happy to work under an NDA.

We specialise in deep tech, and we back that up with detailed case studies. Each one sets out the context, constraints, deliverables, and outcome.

‍

If you can, share your company name and a link to your website or product. It also helps to know what you’re looking for (identity, website, positioning), any deadlines, and anything we should be aware of (stakeholders, technical requirements, constraints).

If you’re not sure yet, a short description of what you’re building is enough to start.
