A somewhat comprehensive, extremely positive review

When I first contacted Innovate Design, I informed them that I was not based in the UK and that I would prefer a digital information pack, not physical, for my own convenience. This was done with zero issue or delay, and the information itself was well structured and clear.

My initial consultations were remote however when I had a chance to travel to their offices, I was immediately accommodated and had a productive in person meeting with Alexander and Peter. The team was professional, encouraging and at points allowed me to ramble on, in what I imagine was an approach to not letting any creative thoughts go unexplored.

Peter breathed life into my idea, and his excellent wireframe designs have transitioned my broad strokes concepts into a demonstrable click through that I can present, discuss, build on and flesh out. At every stage, I have been made to feel very much at the helm of my creation, supported by the crew at Innovate.

Let me be clear: this is a business, providing structured services, which come at various costs. You may find you only need one of these, you may find you need more. These are not angel investors, eagerly waiting to pay for partially formed ideas from enthusiastic netizens.

The company's clarity on service and pricing is as clear as a summer's day, and I have yet to find such transparency, expediency and affordability for top tier results as I have with Innovate.

Innovate Designs is a Cowboy businesses and deserves to be exposed.

Innovate Design are a Very unprofessional business. They lie and misrepresent. I believe the term is they are a cowboy company. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEM. So Buyers Beware. I was even threatened by them not to cause any public deformation. But that is what this platform is for, name and shame is very appropriate for the £495 I consider they swindled from me.

Reality moving on to a Patent in less than a few months!

This has to by far be the best company of this type I have ever come across. I will be using them all the way to manufacturing and beyond.

I would whole heartedly recommend…

I would whole heartedly recommend innovate to help to navigate the world of innovation and all that comes alongside bringing an idea to life.
They have always been reassuring, informative and always respond in a timely, positive, respectful and professional manner.
Gabriel took my rough vision and brought it to life and Sam has been down to earth and fully supportive from the beginning.
I look forward to carrying on that professional relationship and moving forward with my project.
Thanks innovate 🙏

Highly recommended!!What a great team…

Highly recommended!!What a great team they are, a step by step guide on how to get my invention from paper to something I can hold. Emma my innovate coach has been excellent in taking me through every step helping me to understand all that is needed to get my invention protected in the correct way to now having it patent pending! Without Emma’s help I know I would not have been able to navigate all the different stages by myself. 10/10
Donna has done an amazing job on creating the prototype that has been well made through understanding my vision with clear communication about it was going another 10/10
Let’s not kid ourselves innovate are a company helping everyday people getting their ideas into reality , YES it does cost money but it’s money well spent, you have to speculate to accumulate! You don’t get in a taxi and not pay for it now do you.
Keep up the great work
