Old City Interactive

We look at Old City Interactive and WPFX as a partner, not a vendor. Their knowledge, and passion for online marketing is contagious! My old marketing company did some pretty shady marketing tactics, and at one point we considered changing our website and company name since Google penalized our site. What a stressful time! However, our internet marketer (Walter) was able to reverse the penalty through hard work, and persistence. We are ranking again for the same terms as we were prior to the penalty! Yeah! Thank you Old City and WebpageFX! You truly are rock stars!

Fantastic little shop.

We had so much fun at Old City Press. Not only was Pete enthusiastic, but he was genuinely interested in helping us learn and have a good time. This was the perfect Saturday activity for anyone and is held in a beautiful space. My husband and I felt like we were welcomed as old friends here and will continue to frequent this charming shop!

I found OCP on Etsy while looking for letterpress invitations for my brother's rehearsal dinner. I gave Pete a rough draft of what I wanted, and he was able to recreate my exact vision in record time and in amazing quality: 2 color, stunning letterpress invitations.

Pete was so patient with every change, every question and my ridiculous deadlines (sorry about that!). He is such a professional and really knows his biz. I couldn't wait to work with him again, so I've just placed another order for 2nd reception invitations. This company (Pete!) is a gem.

Great Experience! They have a friendly staff that was able to find exactly what I needed for Letterpress Invitations and stationery. They have some amazing equipment and I really would like to take a workshop. Thank you so much.

I attended one of the letterpress classes Old City Press offers, and I loved it. It was the perfect amount of background on the history of letterpress, with the focus on actually making some letterpress creations. The guys are really friendly and I had an awesome time creating, with the bonus of just hanging out with some cool guys. I'd definitely recommend the class! I'd also recommend just checking out what Old City Press offers as far as product goes, they had a ton of stuff around the shop that looked amazing. 5 stars! :)

A friend put us on to OLD CITY PRESS & Co. in Alexandria. We popped into the store to check it out and we got to meet Pete & Amanda, the husband and wife team behind this awesome shop. We hadn't even thought of it before but we were immediately intrigued about using letterpress to create invitations for our upcoming wedding. Pete answered all our questions about the process. He has a very in depth knowledge of the presses, the pluses and negatives of each, along with a bit of history each one has as well.

We have a bit of design background and we decided to design our own invitations. OCP does have in house design, and they have some great examples to get your creative juices going. Combine that with a healthy dose of the internet and we had some rough ideas for our invitations. Pete gave us some great feedback and help along the way about laying things out to maximize the letterpress effects as well as making the actual production efficient. After a few edits and our own design revisions, we were ready to go. We headed to Old City Press on a Saturday to get our hands dirty. Pete, Amanda, and couple of their talented assistants showed us the ropes and explained the whole process as we printed our invitations. They will print everything for you if you want but we wanted to see the process through from start to end. Needless to say, we were extremely happy with final result. It’s so much more fun when you can put your own personality into the design and production of such an important day in your life. The comments on how your invitations are ‘just you’ don’t hurt either.

There’s nothing better than a shop that’s dedicated to perfecting its craft!
