Development

Once your strategy and design are in place, we bring them to life. Our development team builds using open, standards-based technology, so your website is robust today and easy to maintain tomorrow.

We build in the open, sharing our work with you in the browser as we go. This means you can give feedback early, and we can adapt as we build, so the end result meets your goals and your users’ needs.

The benefits

• Built to last — standards-based code that’s easier and cheaper to maintain

• Accessible by default — websites that work for all users, whatever their ability, browser or bandwidth

• Fast and sustainable — lean, efficient code that loads quickly and reduces your carbon footprint

Our development approach 

• Technology approach — HTML5, CSS and JavaScript, with PHP 8, Laravel and Symfony for complex functionality

• Front-end build — accessible, robust markup built on our Amplify starter kit, meeting WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) 2.2 AA as a minimum

• CMS and custom development — WordPress or Craft CMS, plus custom systems and third-party integrations for complex needs

• QA and testing — browser, accessibility, functional and performance testing, tested against the GOV.UK browser matrix

• Security — GDPR-aware, secure development practices, backed by our Cyber Essentials Plus certification

From development to launch

Development isn’t just about writing code, it’s about delivering a website that works. We bring together robust, accessible front-end build, well-architected back-end systems, and thorough testing, so what launches is exactly what you need: a fast, reliable, future-proof website your team can manage with confidence.

We’ve used this approach to help organisations like W3C, RNIB and HS2 build fast, accessible, reliable websites that stand the test of time.
