WHO WE'VE WORKED WITH

BESPOKE vs OFF-THE-SHELF

Bespoke websites are generally chosen when an off-the-shelf platform, such as WordPress, Drupal or Magento do not fulfil the requirements of the brief i.e. as a custom creative approach or technical solution is needed.
Off-the-shelf websites still need designing and building the front-end, unless you opt for an existing Theme which will just need content added.

We are experienced in all types of sites and systems so we recommend from a technical perspective and are not biased by any one system or type of site.

Clients usually opt for off-the-shelf over bespoke for:

Financial reasons - It can often be cheaper than a bespoke CMS.

Familiarity of their existing system.

Access to a multitude of existing plugins.

It is widely recognised and used by multiple developers.

Clients usually opt for bespoke over off-the-shelf for:

Security reasons - off-the-shelf can be a target for hackers as they are widely used. If updated they are usually secure.

Creatively they wish to have a unique site.

They like the simplicity of a bespoke CMS.

The technical requirements of the website require some bespoke development.

Bespoke sites usually run quicker as they are leaner, in terms of coding and depending on the the type of website or system.

FROM DESIGN TO FINISH...

The stages of your project are simple...

We discuss your objectives and creative preferences, your target market/markets and the competition you may have. We would then discuss a counter strategy and give technical recommendations. We would also discuss your brand and existing/potential marketing avenues such as SEO, Social media and traditional marketing should this be appropriate.

Once we have a good brief from you initial design concepts are created. This will cover the main homepage and a few content pages as well as a visual representation of how the mobile version of the site will look.

Once you are happy and the designs are signed off, this will be a great representation of how the finished product will look before we even start to build it.

We start by building the front-end of the website and either connect it to an existing CMS (Content Management System) like WordPress, or create a bespoke CMS depending on the technical brief.

Your site will be built responsively to fit any device or platform and we cross-browser and platform checkbefore it is viewed by the customer. We would then offer you a link to your site on a test server so you can check and make any final tweaks to the text or images before going live.

Hosting

If you require hosting for your site or system we can provide this and setup your email if needed too. We offer UK dedicated cloud servers up to Cloud global server solutions with locally hosted content.
