Making sense of website design

First, we think about your big picture Everything in your marketing mix is connected.

We think holistically and work without boundaries. So we look for surprising ideas and opportunities beyond the context of your website to make the most of these connections and help make your marketing more fruitful.

Content object modelling makes better websites Content object modelling is the method we use to research and design the structure of a website’s content before we design what the pages look like and how they fit together.

People think in real-world objects, not pages – this way we map out the things that people want to find on a website and what they want to do with them. It’s the ORCA process; Objects, Relationships, Calls-to-action and Attributes.

Instead of starting with the pages and designing the content and actions to fit each one...

We design a system of reusable content objects to build intuitive pages and journeys...

● It’s people centred ● It ensures simplicity ● It’s scalable ● And, it’s great for search engine optimisation!

We take care of the technical stuff

🚹 Accessibility 👍 👍 👍

We work with you and your audience to understand the accessibility requirements for your website.

We design and build to the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines POUR criteria; Perceivable, Operable, Understandable & Robust.

We’re happy to work to other accessibility standards too.

We test the accessibility of our websites using WAVE Accessibility Evaluation Tools.

⭐ Optimisation 👍 👍 👍

We work with you and your audience to define the search engine optimisation strategy for your website.

We use best practices in digital design and code to maximise the SEO potential of your website. Then we measure this with Lighthouse.

We use Ahrefs SEO tools to help us optimise, evaluate and track the performance of your website on Google, along with stats and insight from GA4 (Google Analytics).

🌎 Sustainability 🔒 Security 👍 👍

We care about our planet and we’ll help you minimise and measure the carbon footprint of your website.

We design and build websites with sustainability in mind; technical efficiency, good SEO, image and video compression and good user experience (to name just a few) all help lower carbon emissions.

👍 👍 👍

We work to current best practices for website security and data protection and we’re happy to work to specific security standards when we need to.

Our significant portfolio of over 150 websites affords us the best possible set up with our own dedicated UK servers and Cloud CDN (Content Delivery Network).

We are open to A&P (attack & penetration) testing if your compliance standards require it. We offer different levels of secure certification (https) and domain and email management if required.
