What we do
WEBSITE DESIGN THAT CREATES A SEAMLESS VISITOR EXPERIENCE
We’re all about the user experience (UX). That’s why as an exceptional web design company, we like to keep things simple. If it’s easy for your visitors to find the information they want on your site, they’ll have a great experience. This results in heightened engagement, increased likelihood of enquiries and repeat custom [you’re welcome].
Whether it’s a corporate site or an internal intranet, we deliver a complete web design and build service that covers all bases from planning through to launch. We’re a strategy-led web design agency with your goals at our heart, so expect page design, imagery, copy, interactivity and easy-to-understand technical advice as and when you need it.
Our website developers specialise in database-driven content management systems to equip you with the resources to make straightforward website amendments, making your technology an asset, not a problem. They’re also dab hands with some very clever gizmos to measure your user experience, such as heat mapping software to outline how people move around your site. Rich insights like this, combined with our intelligent analytics, allow us to focus on each customer’s journey and build even better websites that project your distinctive identity. Our website design services are here every step of the way to empower, guide and support you.
What we offer
Mobile responsive design
As well as having technical excellence built in from the start, all of our websites are comprehensively tested to make sure they work seamlessly on all kinds of different devices and the leading browsers. We build every single one of our websites to work on a mobile-first and then scale up to desktop size, reflecting the way that customers browse the internet. This ensures you look magnificent, no matter the size of the screen.
Optimisation and testing
As a website design agency, we’re in a competitive industry. So we’re constantly developing our skill sets and looking for new ways to keep us ahead of the curve. All our website development work is fully tested and optimised to ensure your website has the perfect balance of high performance and easy navigation [the yin and yang of web design]. So at the time of launch and handover, you’ll feel fully supported and confident to take over the management of your website.
Strategy & user experience
It’s vital that your website is easy to navigate and use, whilst also remaining aligned to your business objectives and customer needs. We take time to understand your target audience and focus on the journey they take, reflecting this in a thoughtful design tailored to your customer journey. Your site visitors will feel informed and reassured to take the next step [and become a valuable conversion].
SEO-aligned content
Being a full-service marketing agency means our design, content and SEO team all work closely together under the same roof. This is especially helpful for creating a website that attracts web traffic. Our skilled SEO team find the right keywords and search terms to capture the browsing habits of potential customers and work alongside our copywriting team to devise a content strategy that is SEO-supercharged across every blog, email and infographic we produce for optimal efficiency.
Content Management Systems (CMS)
An effective CMS enables you to upload content quickly and easily to your website, keeping it fresh and up-to-date, which is a big boost for your search rankings.
Most of our bespoke website builds use WordPress, one of the most popular CMS systems globally. With our nifty WordPress web designers, you call the shots on layout, design and integrations. But if you feel that WordPress isn’t quite right for your site, our web designers can build a CMS from scratch using a different system or design a completely bespoke website that’s as unique as you are.
Website development
Every website we build incorporates bespoke solutions tailor-made to each client’s individual requirements. What’s more, as a web development agency we’ve also developed our own unique page builder template for web content which enables you to manage it yourself. You can make and populate web pages quickly and easily, and the software will ensure that each new page will maintain your corporate branding and consistency, and will work across all devices and browsers.
E-commerce websites
A responsive e-commerce website allows you to sell your products and services online, to drive revenue and increase your market share.
We work with industry-standard platforms that are flexible and fully adaptable to the needs of your business and sales processes, such as WooCommrce, Shopify and Magneto [to name just a few]. Our developers integrate all e-commerce sites using the latest payment processing systems which make it easy for people to order and for you to manage the back office admin, we can even connect a POS or Accounting system if you fancy. You’ll find an effective translation of your in-person shopping experience into the digital world, to increase your audience reach, attract new customers and make conversions surge.
Website hosting
Take your pick… Windows or Linux hosting platforms? Dedicated or shared servers? We cover them all.
Our servers use 100% SSD storage and have unlimited bandwidth, MySQL databases, POP/IMAP mailboxes and a 10GB quota as standard, if required. If that’s not enough for you, we also offer an integrated global content delivery network (CDN) with autoscaling resources. These are all valuable assets that we want to secure, so our website security services ensure we’re both prepared and protected for any potential breaches.
As your dedicated web design agency, we want to protect the incredible website we create for you.

How long is a piece of string? The length of time it takes to build a website is dependent on the number of pages required and the complexity of the build in terms of functionality required and content creation. We typically take 2-3 weeks to produce the first stage of plans [called flat artwork]. From this point, you will be advised by your brand manager as to how long the site will take to build. During the build, we place your website on a development server so that you can log in at any time to review the progress. We understand that your project deadlines are very important and we will always do our utmost to ensure we meet them. We’ve been known to work around the clock to deliver new sites in super tight timelines.
