UI/UX Design
Custom web page design with attractive visuals, logos, fonts, colouring and iconography. We take your customer journeys and turn them into a user friendly experience
We provide fully mocked layouts (wireframes) and translate them into designs for your approval, so you know what your website or app will look like, before any coding begins

Build and Develop
During implementation you can be involved as you like, while we work towards the staging phase where you’ll get to review and ensure your site looks, feels and works as expected
We test rigorously throughout the implementation to ensure that the functionality displays correctly across all devices and modern browsers. When both you and we are happy, we will launch your site or app and test, test some more!

A Full End to End Service
Responsive User Interfaces
We take a Mobile First approach when designing and implementing websites. By using this mindset the content fits smoothly onto all popular devices, ensuring text chunking and clean visuals
Responsiveness is also about the speed at which content loads on each device, and how quickly it responds to users taking actions. We ensure our code is efficient using industry best practice (ensuring web vitals are healthy) and optimising it across all devices like mobile phones, tablets and desktop computers
Add Content Easily
We use the right Content Management System (CMS) for your project to enable you to fulfil your business goals, scale your site, fit your budget and add content with ease
We encourage the use of modular drag and drop editors that allow you or us to change the layout of your pages as needed, just like the WordPress Block Builder
We can also free your content from a tightly integrated CMS like WordPress by seperating it completely from the front end website using a Headless CMS. The content can then be displayed on a variety of website and app platforms, offering you maximum flexibility
Sell Your Products Online
We advise on suitable eCommerce platforms to use for selling products, based on your business requirements
We can provide an attractive theme from which to showcase your Product Categories, Featured Products, most popular and highest rated
You can have us integrate well known review widgets such as Trustpilot into your site to automate product reviews, display star ratings and improve SEO
We can also provide tutorials online on how to add products using these platforms, and create variations of those products to cut down on duplication of content, which will ensure each product has a better chance of being discovered in the search results
Improve Your Online Presence
Using several different tools and services to help with Search Page Optimisation (SEO) we can improve your contents online coverage and aid in ranking your site on search engines such as Google and Bing
We can provide one to one video calls to help with listing your business and services on maps as well as Google and Bing business panel information in search results
We can also aid in how to structure relevant content on your website and optimise it to help improve your page coverage in search engines
We can integrate Analytics to highlight any coverage issues, fix mobile usability, add or improve structured data and give advice on core web vitals
Integrated Marketing
We can help you engage with your customers through your website by offering support with getting you set up on well known marketing platforms such as Mailer Lite, Mailchimp and Hubspot, then integrating their useful features into your website
We can also help you with automation of these platform features so you can focus on selling services and products
