websites designed for you and your users
So you need a new website, you’re in the right place. Our aim is to design and build engaging and functional websites that match your business aims, your budget, your market place and the needs of your customers.
Searching for a new website can be a daunting task, website designers have many different things to offer such as the platform they use, the designs they can produce, their approach, the price… it can all be quite confusing. Our approach is to keep things as simple as possible, talking your language and avoiding ‘techie’ speak where we can.
It’s important to you that you have a website that accurately reflects your business, engages with your customers and ultimately gives you the leads and sales that you require. We concentrate on reducing your stress by delivering the affordable website you want, so you can concentrate on running your business.
We are a small marketing agency based in Bideford, North Devon. We have web design clients in Barnstaple, Torrington, Ilfracombe and throughout Devon, the South West and across the whole country.

responsive websites
More and more internet usage is moving from desktops and laptops to mobiles and tablets and this trend is only likely to continue. So having a responsive website that automatically resizes the content no matter what device your users are using is no a longer an option, it’s a must!
All of the websites we create are responsive, so whether your users are on their mobiles, on a tablet or sat in front of their laptop we will make sure your content is accessible to them. This may mean designing different versions for different devices or creating specific elements for different devices.
The main purpose of having a mobile website is to give your users the best possible experience when they are on your site. However another important reason for having a responsive website is that it will perform better in the search results as Google moves towards a mobile first index.
we’re not gardeners, but we like to dig
If we’re going to build a website that meets your business aims then we need to do some research. We need to understand what your business goals are, who your customers are, what they want, who is your competition and the area you operate in. It is only by doing this digging that we can get a complete picture which will allow us to create the website that will be most profitable for your business.
Every business and market place is different, it would be easy to assume that every builder just build new houses, but the reality is that most don’t build new houses; they build walls, they convert garages and they convert lofts! We have a large amount of experience of different industries which helps when understanding your business. Whether you’re a gardener, a florist in Bideford, a restaurant in Barnstaple or sell teddy bears online from your rural North Devon base, then we can create the perfect website for you.

brochure sites through to e-commerce
Building a website is actually fairly straight forwards, you’ve probably seen the adverts on TV telling you that you can build your own in ‘just a few clicks’. However, creating something that is unique, engaging and appropriately represents your business is a lot more complicated.
We work with a broad range of clients with very different needs and budgets. The price tag of a website will not determine how effective is, the engagement created by the design and getting the site in front of your target customers will have much more effect.
The websites we create and built with the user experience considered first and foremost. If you have want an e-commerce site you want users to find your products easily, find the checkout process painless and generally enjoy the buying experience. These customers are then much more likely to buy again or refer your site or product. If you’re a tradesman you need users to find the service they require as quickly and easily as possible.
under the bonnet
Apologies if you’re not a car fan, but we’re going to keep the car analogy going. We use WordPress to build our new websites, it’s a platform that is now estimated to power nearly 30% of all websites across the world. Going back to the car, WordPress is the chassis.
We then have a massive range of themes to choose from, or more likely we will be build a specific theme for you. The theme will give you the look and feel of the website, think of this as the car body. The final component is the plugins, there are literally thousands to choose from, all doing different things, such as powering your shopping cart, or displaying your Facebook feed. Back to our car, these would be the radio or the supercharger!
A key component of WordPress is the Content Management System (CMS) which is operating behind the scenes. This allows for content to be easily added, changed or removed. Most of our clients have us do that for them, but it is something you can do yourself with a fairly basic level of IT knowledge.
