When youth meets experience. When fresh talent meets raw vision. When aesthetic meets common sense.

Good design happens.

Proto is a print and web design studio in downtown Lancaster, PA. We believe that good design can happen for anyone, regardless of size, income, or industry.

Proto consists of equal parts business savvy (The Suit), directed creativity (The Project Managers), and youthful talent (The Protégés).

We design whatever you need.

From business cards to logos to posters. From websites to brochures. From catalogs to ads to PowerPoint presentations. If you need it, we design it.

Unlike other design firms, we charge a fixed project rate. Every price is listed upfront and straightforward. You not only get what you pay for, you only pay for what you want.

Unlike copy and print centers that offer cheap designs, we build every logo, business card, website, and brochure around you. No templates. No cookie cutters. Just you. Because your message is original. Because you deserve more than generic design.

Because you want to succeed. And we want to help.
