We build branded Word and PowerPoint templates that work – every time.

Design. Build. Format. Done properly.

01 – Document design

01 – Document design

We design documents that get noticed, and bring your brand to life in the files you use every day: letters, reports, proposals and presentations. 

Designers can be confident we'll flag anything that won't translate well into a template.

03 – Document formatting

01 – Document design

Robust, user-friendly Word and PowerPoint templates with simple instructions. Built to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA as standard. 

If you're a designer, the integrity of your design is safe with us; you'll be surprised by what's possible in Office. 

 If your current template is broken, we rebuild rather than patch. Patching carries the problems forward.

We'll make your documents sing. We move existing content into your new templates so everything looks great and communicates clearly, without the late-night formatting wrestle. 

These are tools used every day, and nothing is more frustrating than a template that doesn't function as it should. With Kim, we've never had that issue.

AI-ready, as standard. Your AI tools are only as on-brand as your templates.

Every template we build is ready for your entire team – whether they use Copilot, Claude or just start from a blank page. Either way, a properly built template keeps every document on-brand. 

It's not an add-on for AI users. It's built into every template, for everyone. 

AI-ready templates

Accessible, as standard. Your documents are only as accessible as the template underneath.

Every template we build is made to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Real heading styles, a logical reading order, meaningful alt text, proper table headers – built in so every document your team creates already has it.

It's not an extra you pay for. It's built into every template, for everyone.

Hello, I'm Kim

I started Document & Design Solutions in 2003, and I've spent the twenty-odd years since making Microsoft Office behave. I'm a graphic designer and Office expert, and I'm your main point of contact from first call to final file.

Matt joined the business in 2013 and keeps everything running: template development, document design and all things admin. For big projects we partner with trusted industry experts, and your details never leave our circle without permission.

Kim has a brilliant technical ability when it comes to building templates that actually work properly, but she also has a great design eye, which is a really rare combination.

    We're researchers, not designers, so having someone we can rely on completely has been invaluable. We highly recommend Kim to anyone looking for a talented designer who is both creative and practical.

    Giving back

    We build templates that help people feel confident with the page in front of them. Story Dogs does the same thing where it matters most: their volunteer dog teams sit one-on-one with children who are struggling to read, in schools right across Australia. That's why we're a Story Dogs supporting partner: $10 from every custom template job we complete goes to Story Dogs, tallied monthly, donated quarterly, and reported exactly as given.


    Every template helps a child learn to read.
