We pride ourselves on the quality of our work. See what others have to say.
Kim Cook - Director Of Marketing

When the project was first initiated, we sat down and reviewed the project objectives, and she came back with a concept that translated every one of the requirements into a web design that made sense. Along every step of the project, she designed with purpose and thought, and remained engaged throughout the project duration to ensure a great result. She takes a lot of pride in her work and seeing it to completion. To this day, I frequently reference Aubrey as the “gold standard” of designers.

What We Do Best

How do we do it? The 4 Point Plan...

Strategize

Like any decent home renovation, it all starts with looking at what you’ve got. We’ll sit down (face-to-face or virtually) and discuss where your small business is and where it needs to be. We’ll get down to the nitty-gritty, so we understand your business inside and out. Once armed with all the data, we’ll develop a strategic plan together that lays out the steps needed to get your online presence firing on all cylinders.

Website Audit • Competitor and Customer Analysis

Design

Once the strategy is in place, we get down to business. Putting ourselves in the minds of your customers, we meticulously plan out every inch of your website. From gaze-snatching graphic design to seamless content flow, your brand is front and centre. By the end of it all, your customers know exactly the value you offer, the services you provide and what you’re all about. You’re part of the stiff upper lip family throughout, so we’ll be in regular contact with updates and to make sure everything is tickety-boo*
*British for “all good”.

Content Strategy • Custom Website Design • Branding

Code

Next, we put on our technical hats. We won’t bore you with the details of how we do what we do; we just do it. In a nutshell, we speak computer. Making sure your site is quick, reliable, accessible on all devices and secure. Moreover, we build it with a “solid foundation”; that means as both your site and technology changes, there’s no need to go back to square one. It’s future-proof.

Content Management • Hosting • Website Support • SEO

Repeat

Like our coding is future-proof, so is our process. If you feel your site needs a re-touch or your business heads in a new direction, we’re here to pivot along with you. We’ll schedule a discussion, work out what needs to be done together and get it done.

Metrics • Conversion Optimization • Reputation Management
