Helping enterprises build future-ready digital experiences, products, and capabilities with a focus on people, planet and purpose

United Kingdom

From shaping the underlying strategy to refining the final design and build, we create experiences that enhance people’s lives, prioritise sustainable digital practices, and help you achieve your commercial objectives.

Our 100-strong team is truly global; with team members across the UK (with offices in Newcastle and London), Spain, South Africa, Pakistan, Poland and Egypt. Our experts specialise across four core areas: Technology, AI & Data, Customer Experience & Design, Strategy & Consultancy and Business Architecture & Change.

What we do

We’re proud to partner with Umbraco to deliver the highest quality of digital products for our clients. We don’t hang about either - in 90 days or less, we’ll push past the concept stage to get your MVP up and running in your customer’s hands, allowing you to truly experience your product in the real world.

Once it’s out there, our cross-discipline teams can also help you analyse the performance of your product, develop a prioritised backlog of improvements and deliver it through a programme of continuous development.

How we do it

We used to create monolithic instances of Umbraco hosted in Azure and built in .NET Framework and Razor. However, we’ve now moved things to a JAMStack (JavaScript, API and Markup) architecture using Umbraco’s headless CMS, Umbraco Heartcore. Using this framework, we pre-render the front markup using Node, React and an application framework like Next.js or Gatsby. This results in lightning fast, secure sites that are easy to globally distribute and don’t cost a fortune to host. We then create a highly available microservice architecture to handle all of our backend heavy lifting which provides the data to the decoupled front application via an API - normally GraphQL. We love it!
