A bit about us
We are a boutique web design and development company. We thrive on building custom designed websites for interesting clients.
We'll build anything from one page sites to complex web applications. No challenge is too great. We enjoy collborating with our clients to help realize their wildest web dreams.
Currently we are being inundated with requests to convert pre-mobile websites into the different browsing formats now required for mobile deices, tablets, smartphones iPads & iPhones. This emerging market is now quickly dominating and replacing the traditional desktop viewing experience and business are struggling to keep up.
You can't afford to do nothing!
Our solution - "Responsive Design" - means a website design that scales, re-sizes and re-formats itself depending on the size of the screen that you're viewing it on. The result - a unique user experience at each viewport without the assoicated development costs. At the same time we strip out clunky image intensive designs, convert unsupported Flash animations to a alternative formats and give your website a full Google health check.
Underneath it all we're still running the rock solid CMS of Umbraco. We're loving the new standards and enhanced design control that HTML5/CSS3 brings, the huge collection of WebFonts now freely available and the power and finess of JQuery.
Keeping up with it all is the challenge every web developer and business must now face.
If we sound like the sort of web company that you could use to sort your website out then either:
