I can not recommend the team at Design Workshop highly enough. More...

The team at Design Workshop were amazing to work with. From planning to build, and continuously throughout the aftercare process, they have been there to support, reassure and guide us.
They made the transition from Wordpress to Expression Engine effortless, ensuring the platform performed to all our requirements and more. Since the rebuild, we have found Expression Engine extremely user friendly and customisable. Blog posts, updates and amendments have never been so easy!

What makes a great website?
Creating a website is actually a really logical process but can often seem clouded in mystery. We break the process down and demystify the technical jargon so our customers are clear about the plan and the anticipated outcomes.
We start with a great design, no two websites we create are the same, they are all unique to the business we are promoting. We build a great user experience into the site so our client's customers can find what they are looking for, easily, and continue to their goal whether that's a purchase, enquiry, download or something else.
We're sticklers for accuracy. We create great content that improves search rankings and helps customers make informed choices. Our creative team bring great imagery, video and animation to the project to help explain a product or service.
But what the point of that if no one finds your site, that's where we use our search engine optimisation skills to enhance your site's visibility and grow you audience.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
It's vital for us to get a clear understanding of your business, its successes and challenges so that we can provide you with the most appropriate solution for your project. We need to understand your aspirations, budget and timescales in as much detail as possible.
Why should our clients choose you?
We’re an integrated design and marketing agency, we have built a team of dedicated designers, content creators, web developers and marketers who collaborate to deliver coherent marketing solutions all under one roof.

CGI & Animation
Delivering the wow factor - We’ve been doing this a while!
The term Computer Generated Imagery was first coined back in the 1970s when the concept of creating realistic visual effects was used in movies such as Star Wars and Westworld. In the intervening 50 years technology has come a long way and the art of CGI is no longer restricted to big budget movies but is accessible for businesses small, medium and large.
We’ve created 3D moving image and 2D CGIs since the mid-90s for a variety of clients. Our first test animation, which we creatively titled ‘Fish Movie’ , came in 1997. Rendering it took a while! Since then we’ve supported customers with product visualisations, animated fly-throughs and today we’re creating interactive content that provide immersive experiences to help businesses sell products, explain features, train colleagues and demonstrate capabilities.
We’re supported by experts who programme and animate with the latest software packages like Unreal Engine, which when combined with our creatively and storytelling capability, enables us to create some truly compelling content that our clients and their customers love.
