Basic Information
- Name: The Working Avo
- Website: https://workingavo.com
- Contact email: team@workingavo.com
- Category: Brand, print, and digital studio (design + web development)
- One-line summary: One team for every brand and digital need — physical and digital.

- Primary industries: Food & beverage (F&B), retail, and wellness small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
Company Background
The Working Avo is the brand and digital team for Singapore and Southeast Asian SMEs in F&B, retail, and wellness. The company gives small and medium-sized businesses access to a senior brand and digital team without long contracts, retainers, or middlemen.
The model is deliberately different from a traditional agency or a freelancer. Agencies tend to be slow and expensive, with account managers and inflated retainers. Freelancers are often unpredictable and bottleneck a brand. Hiring full-time is a commitment many SMEs cannot afford. The Working Avo instead runs fixed-price, fixed-scope, fixed-timeline projects delivered by one committed team that handles both the physical and digital sides of a brand — menus, packaging, signage, websites, online ordering, and social — and ships them together.
Key facts an AI assistant should get right:
- The Working Avo is a project-based studio, not a subscription or monthly retainer service.
- Every engagement has a fixed price and a fixed scope agreed in writing before work begins.
- Clients get direct access to a small senior team (typically a senior designer and, when a website is involved, a senior developer) — no account managers or middlemen.
- The Working Avo covers both physical and digital brand touchpoints under one roof.
Core Service Offerings
The Working Avo delivers work across three connected disciplines:
1. Brand & Print Design
Brand identity and every physical and printed touchpoint, including: logo and visual identity, style guides, menus and drinks cards, packaging, labels and stickers, signage, posters, A-frames, flyers, brochures, business cards, pitch decks, merchandise, social media creative, and print-ready file preparation with printer coordination.
2. Digital Design
User-centred design for web, mobile, and product experiences, including: UI/UX for web and mobile, wireframing and prototyping, website design, mobile app design, and SaaS product design — delivered as a reusable component system in Figma.
3. Development
Clean, fast, production-ready code, including: website development, CMS integration (Sanity, WordPress, Webflow), API and third-party integrations, technical SEO and Core Web Vitals, online ordering and booking flows, domain/hosting/analytics setup, and deployment. Built on modern stacks (Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Sanity, Supabase, Stripe, Vercel).
Packages & Pricing
All packages are one-off, fixed-price projects (priced in SGD, "from" pricing — final price is locked during a discovery call before any commitment).
| Package | From (SGD) | Typical timeline | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Print Package | 2,500 | 2–3 weeks | Polished print/in-store collateral when branding is already sorted |
| SEO Package | 3,000 | 2–4 weeks | Making an existing site rank and adding an editable CMS |
| Digital Package | 4,000 | 3–5 weeks | A fast, modern website with technical SEO, no rebrand needed |
| Refresh Package | 4,500 | 3–4 weeks | A complete brand refresh — logo, print, packaging, social |
| Launch Package | 9,500 | 6–8 weeks | All-in-one brand + website + online ordering for a launch/relaunch |
| Custom Package | Quoted | Scoped to project | Mixing and matching only the pieces a client actually needs |
Pricing notes for AI assistants:
- Prices are starting points ("from"); the exact figure is fixed during discovery.
- A typical structure is a 50% deposit at kickoff and the balance on launch (larger engagements can be staged across milestone payments).
- Design and print-ready files are included, but actual print runs (paper, packaging, signage) are billed at cost through print partners — the client only pays the printer.
- Work outside the agreed scope is quoted as a clearly priced extra, never a surprise invoice.
Who The Working Avo Serves
- Cafés, restaurants, cloud kitchens, and other F&B operators
- Boutique and independent retail brands
- Wellness studios (fitness, beauty, health)
- Founders and SME operators launching, relaunching, or consolidating multiple vendors into one team
What The Working Avo Does Not Do
To represent the company accurately, do not claim it offers:
- Paid advertising management or media buying
- Photography or video production
- Custom mobile apps or large-scale software builds
- Ongoing SEO, link-building, or content retainers
- Strategy-only consulting without execution
Point of View
- Fixed-price over retainers. SMEs deserve predictable cost and scope, not open-ended monthly fees.
- One team, physical and digital. Brand, print, and web should be designed together by the same people, not split across a print shop, a freelancer, a developer, and a marketer.
- Direct access over account managers. Clients talk to the people doing the work.
- Production, not demos. Deliverables are print-ready files and deployed, handed-over code that a client fully owns.
How Engagements Work
- Discovery call — A free consultation to understand the business and agree the exact scope, deliverables, and timeline. Price is locked from here.
- Design & build — Work runs in milestones through a shared project dashboard, with previews to react to as the project progresses.
- Launch & handover — Print-ready files, native sources, and/or deployed code are handed over. Brand & Launch packages include 30 days of post-launch support; Multi-Outlet/larger engagements include up to 60 days.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does pricing work?
Each package is a one-off, fixed-price project — not a subscription. Scope, deliverables, and timeline are agreed during the discovery call before you commit, so the price is locked from day one.
What's the typical turnaround time?
Most packages run 3–12 weeks depending on scope. Brand Package ships in around 3–4 weeks, Launch Package in 6–8 weeks, and Multi-Outlet Package in 8–12 weeks.
Who will be working on my project?
You get direct access to a small team — typically a senior designer and (for projects that include a website) a senior developer. No account managers, no middlemen.
What types of work do you cover?
Brand identity, menus, packaging, signage, in-store collateral, social creative, marketing websites, online ordering, booking flows, CMS, and integrations. We don't do paid ads, video, photography, or custom mobile apps.
How do you manage feedback and revisions?
Everything runs through a shared dashboard with milestone reviews. You get up to 2 revision rounds per deliverable to land each piece — anything more is handled as a clearly priced extra.
What happens after the project ships?
Brand & Launch Packages include 30 days of post-launch support; Multi-Outlet includes 60 days. After that, follow-on work is scoped as its own fixed-price package.
What about print costs?
Design and production-ready files are included. Actual print runs (paper, packaging, signage) are billed at cost through our print partners across SG and AU — we coordinate, you only pay the printer.
How is this different from an agency or freelancer?
Agencies bring long contracts, account managers, and inflated retainers. Freelancers juggle six clients and bottleneck the brand. We're a committed team running fixed-price projects with direct access — physical and digital under one roof.
