While creating and building a website for our new festival in Devon, Jeff and Holly at We Make Magazines went over and above to help us achieve our goal, even though we gave them an insanely tight deadline. They came up trumps and we couldn't be happier. More...

Jeff has designed several websites for me. He has always done a thorough and professional job. We have had several comments from clients regarding the quality of our site.
What makes a great website?
Great Content.
Whatever line of work you’re in, chances are there are loads of other businesses offering something similar. Try this: Google “plumber Devon” or “restaurant Exeter.” You’ll get pages and pages of results. And all of those websites will be saying pretty much the same thing, which makes it difficult for a customer to choose who they want to work with.
Even if you’re smashing Google… you're top page one, brilliant. Customers will still click on three or four websites before they decide. And if they’re all saying the same thing, how do they choose?
That’s where we come in.
When we design websites, we focus on the message first – the thing that sets you apart. So when someone clicks on a few different sites, yours is the one they remember.
Marketing is telling stories. It’s putting youself across in a way that customers can relate to you. So they like you. So you’re not just another company saying the same thing.
As publishers, we’ve been telling people’s stories for years. Now we use that experience to help businesses like yours stand out.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
The first thing we ask is what success looks like for you. What do you want your website to achieve – more enquiries, stronger branding, easier updates? From there, we’ll explore your audience and what makes your business unique. Jeff will look at how the design can support your goals, while Jennie will start shaping how your story is told through the words. We always want to understand not just what you do, but why you do it.
What do you love most about your job?
Seeing everything come together, when a client’s website finally feels like them. Jeff loves the craft of design and the problem-solving that comes with it; Jennie loves the writing, finding the right tone and rhythm to bring a business to life. It’s that combination – design and content working side by side – that makes what we do so rewarding.
What inspired you to start your own business?
We both came from publishing backgrounds, so storytelling has always been part of what we do. Over time, we saw how many websites looked the part but didn’t 'say' much. We wanted to change that, to create websites that blend strong visuals with honest, well-written words. That’s how We Make Media began, and it’s still what drives us today.
Why should our clients choose you?
Because we care about getting it right. We don’t churn out template sites or one-size-fits-all designs. Jeff designs every website by hand, with attention to detail and usability. Jennie crafts the copy so it sounds natural and genuine. Together, we help businesses tell their story clearly and confidently – without jargon, gimmicks or guesswork.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, absolutely. We’re based in Devon but work with clients all over the UK. Most of our meetings happen over Zoom, and we share visuals and content drafts online so you can see your website taking shape in real time. Whether you’re local or further afield, we’ll make the process feel easy and personal from start to finish.
Content
Words and pictures sell your story. With our background in publishing, we make sure your content is unique, engaging and built around what makes your business special. Jennie’s editorial experience helps uncover your message, while our professional photographers bring it to life through authentic imagery that builds trust and personality.
Bespoke Website Design
Every website we create is designed from the ground up to fit your goals and functionality needs. Tell us what your site needs to do, and Jeff will design a tailored solution that’s scalable, simple to manage, and evolves with your business. No templates – just thoughtful, individual design.
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
We take a content-first approach to SEO. That means weaving search optimisation naturally into your site’s structure, design and writing from day one. The result: a website that ranks well because it communicates well, not because of gimmicks.
