Start-ups

Are you a start-up that has a great idea for a website that you want to get off the ground? We can help with viability checks, all website builds and specific application development. You can mine our knowledge on all aspects of website building, management and sale including all those areas listed above. We know what it's like to have a brilliant idea with a small budget, and wouldn't want the bank manager's lack of vision standing in the way of the next big thing. For these kind of projects we can look at various funding models to ensure that a lack of short-terms funds doesn't prevent the next big thing coming to fruition. We've love to hear from you. Drop us an email or pick up the phone :-)
