Delivering digital services should be simple, not hard.
When we started our agency in 1996, our aim was (and still is) to deliver the best digital services as pain-free as possible.
For many, building high quality digital services can be a painful, expensive process dominated by geeks, IT departments and missed deadlines. Thanks to WordPress, that is not the case anymore.

Our core skills are the provision of commercial-grade WordPress Build, Development, Migration and Support to companies and organisations from £1m to £100m turnover in UK and Europe.
We’ve helped hundreds of clients over the years, we act as sole-agency to approx 50 clients spread across Healthcare, Finance, Leisure, Manufacturing, Retail, FMCG and B2B – all running the latest responsive WordPress frameworks.
We also provide consultation & support services to many other organisations across the globe.
Typical budgets range from £5k to £100k for turnkey WordPress development & delivery. To get started, contact us and we’ll walk you through our digital services and see if we have mutual ground on which we can work together.
WORDPRESS DEVELOPMENT
We joined the WordPress revolution in 2008 and we’ve been part of WordPress growing up from being a precocious blogging platform to becoming the enterprise web framework of choice for contemporary digital agencies and organisations alike.
WordPress is the world’s fastest growing web development platform, powering almost 1/5th of web-site traffic including BBC, .GOV, Samsung, TED, GM, Sony and IBM. In fact, many of the worlds biggest brands rely on WordPress to serve their digital needs.
Why? The decline of programmer geeks, widespread adoption by some of the web’s leading lights, availability of curated frameworks, open source community, content/SEO friendly, seamless interaction with the social world and, finally, the WordPress platform is highly extensible – it’s easy to add-on functionality and extend the features – with very few limits.
One of our hosting partners, WPEngine, wrote a really good article on the growth of WordPress from a blogging to an application platform.
As one of the first and the fastest growing WordPress Digital Agencies in Europe, you can trust us to deliver a secure, scaleable and highly functional WordPress digital asset … and for a lot less money than old-fashioned “baked at home” sites. An awful lot less.

DIGITAL STRATEGY
You might think you’ve got an operational issue, but there will be a strategic fix.
Getting serious about digital strategy probably means that your organisation is looking to secure one of the top spots in your marketplace and that is reflected in your digital ambitions. To do that, you’ll need an innovative digital agency with experience.
Our rates for digital strategy are £995 per day, with no hidden extras or fees – and you only pay for the time we’re working, not travelling.
With 200+ man years of digital strategy experience and lots of industry firsts, over the years we have designed and deployed digital strategies on a par with Amazon, Google and eBay – but for a fraction of the budget.
Our work is widely used as examples of best practice, followed by industry leaders and plagiarised by competitors – as witnessed by the wide-scale adoption of our innovations. We are a digital agency that the world copies – it’s the highest form of flattery.
To get started you’ll want a confidential chat, with our CEO.
RESPONSIVE DESIGN
If your web-site is not optimised to work on mobile and for touch screens then you are losing out on visitors, engagement and ultimately, business. This is often referred to as Mobile-First
Want to deep dive? We published “How to go mobile in 30 days” in March 2013. A realistic approach to moving from the old world of hand-cut web-sites to a modern and highly flexible solution to serving your web-site on all platforms.
Using a WordPress Framework, we design, create, support and evolve digital assets that take advantage of the explosion of mobile in the simplest way possible – Responsive Design.
Contact us and we’ll guide you through the process, it’s easier and not as expensive as you think.

CONTENT MARKETING
It may include blogging, but the term now includes the publishing of any digital content including press releases, news and support content.
More than copywriting, content marketing is a structured plan to deliver timely and relevant content to the right customers at the right time. It’s no good re-hashing other people’s work or copy & pasting from the web.
We create strategies and oversee execution, aiming to create uniquely relevant content that helps digital strategies around content, search engines, syndication, social and sharing.
And we eat what we cook – currently originating over 200 articles a year, in-house, and manage the production of another 5000 items of unique content every year on behalf of clients. Some of which can be found here.
TRAFFIC
Linked to conversion, we aim to increase the value of traffic to your business and build long-term sustainable traffic sources.
Adhering only to best practices, we’ve had outstanding and sustainable results in SERPS.
We never cut corners and never, ever, engage in black-hat SEO techniques.
We eat what we cook – our own site ranks well without recourse to dodgy techniques.
WORDPRESS SUPPORT
Using our efficient support infrastructure allows you to offload your web support function to a team of trusted experts, all of which are committed to generating the highest levels of client happiness.
We deal with over 2,000 support tickets every year, 95% within 24hrs and with a 92% client satisfaction rate. We’re continuously working on improving.
As part of our support service, we also provide WordPress migration services.
You can access our support portal via here. Or contact support on 020 3468 2150 during our telephone support hours (10am to 4pm GMT). Or use the Chat function on this site (at the bottom).
DIGITAL DEVELOPMENT
To deliver market-leading digital assets means we work with contemporary tools, applications, frameworks and platforms.
We’ve been doing this successfully since 1996 so we’ve got a broad and deep skill-base that covers everything you might need to deliver your digital strategy. Here’s the outline list:
- WordPress – Development, Migration, Support
- PHP & MySQL
- CSS3 & HTML5
- Javascript, JSON & AJAX
- Custom themes & templates
- Curated plugins
- REST API and OAuth2
- AWS and SaaS serving including CDN
We offer development services, writing both bespoke and tailoring applications for clients using collaborative principles and Agile delivery. For project management, we work with Basecamp, Pivotal Tracker and Trello.
Clients are assured of fast deployment, industry best-practice standards, open migration routes and a secure scaleable platform. Realistically there is very little that we can’t do on the web.
Development rates start at £99ph.
CONVERSION
The drop-out that occurs as people move through the chain is the first stage to understanding what works and what doesn’t. Improving conversion, generally, means loss-reduction but can, and should, take into account total visitor value over the “life” of the relationship.
Connected provide insight as to why conversion succeeds or fails and look to make lots of minor improvements that compound up into substantial and long-term improvements.
Lots of organisations talk about conversion rates, come and talk to one of the first companies in the UK to embrace conversion rates and testing as a method to achieve sustainable real improvements.
SUPPLIER MANAGEMENT
Additionally, we have the in-house experience and tools to manage large teams and suppliers to ensure you are getting the very best from the team. Using collaboration, transparent operations and an agile approach we’ll bring momentum and incremental success to any digital project.
It’s not just us who love WordPress, these organisations have made major investments in WordPress.
