Building a website is perceived to be easy by a lot of businesses. This often results in compromises. Patchwork code, security risks, bloated plugins, and sites that become slower and harder to update. Many businesses prefer to have development done in-house or hire freelancers. However, most freelancers do not have the time, opportunity, or the technical ability to do such complex jobs.

With a development agency, you get more than a build. You get a team, a technical leader, and a structured process that can guide you through each and every step of the project from discovery all the way to project release. You will have specialists in user experience, responsive design, accessibility, performance, security, and server configuration. This level of knowledge is essential when it comes to development. Different needs require different strategies. For instance, a charity that is looking to boost the number of donations it receives, an ecommerce store that needs quicker loading times, or a company that needs a custom portal.

A solid agency also provides stability. Holidays, sick leaves, or employee turnover will not affect your project. Decisions will be documented, code will be documented, and work will be distributed among the team instead of a single individual. Agencies are the most effective and best option if you want something that will last to prioritize reliability, clarity, and long-term support.

The feedback we get from our clients about our development work is always positive. They appreciate our level of detail in building out each of their business’s needs. They appreciate how smooth and seamless we make the whole process and they enjoy working with us because we form a partnership, not a client-vendor relationship.

This is possible because we treat development as a collaborative approach. We have open time tracking, project folders, and communication at every step of the way. Our in-house teams are in sync with our designers and strategists so that the technical side of the building process is in harmony with the broader objectives of your organisation.

We take the time to figure out the reason each feature is created. A wedding catering portal needs to solve specific operational pain points. A charity website has to make it easy for users to donate. An ecommerce store has to provide speed, build user trust, and have an intuitive journey from product page to checkout. Our clients feel supported when they see that we think about the purpose behind every interaction, instead of rushing to build everything out. This explains our long-lasting client relationships as it is the reason we receive such positive feedback.

The entire development team is in-house. This allows you to have control and provide direct communication throughout the entirety of the project. All of our developers are experienced, commercially minded, and are versatile. They work closely with our design, strategy, and marketing teams to ensure every build achieves both the technical and commercial objectives.

Because we do not outsource coding, you will receive code that is of high quality and standards, which is also secure and maintainable. If you come back for additional features, integrations, or enhancements, you will be communicating with the same developers who created the site. That’s a unique level of continuity, and it helps ensure your work stays efficient and cost saving over the long haul.

Websites are never finished. After your site goes live, we keep supporting you through development retainers. This means you can access our development team for ongoing site optimisations, new features, integrations, performance enhancements and security updates. A lot of our clients depend on our retainers to incrementally improve their site. This is a flexible and efficient way to keep your site making progress without the expense of in-house developers.

We also have security retainers for organisations that want to take a more structured approach to their peace of mind. Clients are able to stay ahead of risks and ensure their environment remains stable and secure while we do the hard work of proactive monitoring, updates and implementing best practice improvements.
