Welcome ('ey up')  
We are a web development company based in Yorkshire...
We make very fast websites
We build unique content management tools
We pride ourselves on being different

How are we different?

01

We get straight to the point...

+
We build websites. Simple. Whether you want a new build, modifications to an existing site or just want someone to explain your options in plain English - we can take care of everything for you.

You won't get any spin or marketing nonsense from us. To us, a spade is a spade and we won't ever try to talk un-necessarily teccie to you. We will give you straight answers to the questions you ask

02

Everything we build is bespoke to you...

+
This is a claim many make which means nothing on its own. Any website built from a template with unique content becomes bespoke but our starting point for new builds is always a blank design, blank code and we flatly refuse to plug in any external resources or third party code. This gives us and you 100% total control and means we will always be able to say “yes” to any requirements you have.

03

We don't use Wix, we don't use Wordpress, we are pure coders...

+
Wix and Wordpress are probably the most common tools for building websites. We’ve used both extensively in the past and they serve a purpose. They come with a wide range of templates and tools and as such they are market leaders... they pride themselves on their simplicity and use celebrities to show how easy they are to use...

No disrespect intended but would you trust a celebrity to build YOUR online presence or do you want something more professional?  Our websites are more secure than 'off-the-shelf' websites. With our bespoke CMS we write the code ourselves so you have complete control over what is running on the website. There are no third-party plugins that might contain security vulnerabilities which are no longer maintained. We think it's much better to give you a tailored solution to fit your needs and aims than off the shelf solutions. 

Standing out from the competition is key, we love to unleash creativity, remove the boundaries, and create truly unique designs and layouts.

04

We work the way you want us to work and to your budget...

+
Here's how it usually works..

Website companies ask you to tell them about your business, they will try and get a feel of what you want and with these few words they will assume they are experts on your business who know exactly what you want and miraculously come up with a price for building your website.

Here's what we do..

We don't make any such assumptions. You want a website, you probably have a budget in mind. Tell us about your company and your budget and we will work to your budget.

We don't waste money, ours or yours. We are efficient workers, we have very little costs and we feel our rates are very competitive.

Proudly from Yorkshire

Our mission statement says we intend to become the largest website provider in Yorkshire within three years. We recruit freelancers from the Yorkshire region and we feel proud to offer local business to business support to all within the region. Of course we are happy to work with companies outside of Yorkshire, in fact anywhere in the world, but we are probably less likely to pop in for a cup of tea. 

Things that are important to us

01

Websites which load very fast

+
Open up your stopwatch on your phone, click any of the links on our site because we are very confident that it will load either instantly or very very quickly. We are obsessed with this.

Most web content guzzles data. Imagine you were paying for every bit of data, you would be annoyed at any sites that load slowly.

Likelihood is that you will rarely be paying for content, you will be accessing data through unlimited wifi connection but data guzzling sites take time to load which is frustrating. We want our sites to get away from select a link/wait/read... select a link/wait/read... to select a link/read... select a link/read.

02

Websites work correctly on all devices

+
A lot of website designers spend their time sitting at their desks creating works of art which look amazing on their 32 inch monitors because that's how they think all users view their websites...

Most of us don't have 32 inch monitors, and we probably do most of our web browsing on handheld devices. All website builds will be "Responsive" and they will have a single mobile friendly version of their site but the smaller display usually lends to design or functionality compromise.

We look at all common device sizes individually and ensure that sites are optimised for each.

03

Accessibility is about people not machines

+
Nearly every website breaks accessibility laws/guidance. For example, did you know you should never put 'click here' on a website? What if the user can't use a mouse? They could navigate your site via other devices which don't have a click mechanism and to be told to 'click' is a reminder that they can't...

This might be a bit pedantic, but at its heart is the fact that we consider all users of all abiities. Blind people can still use the web via screen readers, our sites are optimised for all users.

There are many automated accessibility tools available for websites but we don't aim to pass machine tests, we test from a human perspective

04

Being upfront

+
We charge £35 per hour and can work with an open ended budget or to a set budget.

For open ended work, we will agree on invoice points (eg. every 10 hours of work).

Set budget work will be agreed upon at the outset of any work, and both parties will be in agreement as to what will be achieved, for what cost and in what timescale.

Bespoke content management

Once your site is built you are going to want to change it (probably) and you don't want to be going cap in hand to your website developer to do this for you and charging for the privilege...

The ability for you to do this yourself is commonly know as content management and most websites have some form of system to allow this without having to go in to the nuts and bolts of the code.

We have developed mechanisms to make editing your site as easy as possible for you. You won't need to log in to be any other system (Wordpress / Wiix), you edit your site from within your site and you can do this from your mobile phone - it really couldn't be any simpler.

Contact us for further information and demonstration of this.
