Working with Stage One was a breeze. My project was quickly onboarded and within a few days after our discovery workshop Stage One had a clear digital roadmap that I was able to put forward to our MD. We’re excited to be working with Stage One over the next 12 months and beyond. More...

Thanks Paul. It was a pleasure working with you to improve your websites user experience.
What makes a great website?
A website that gives customers what they want the way they want it. If a website is designed with the customer's way of thinking your website will be more successful.
Also, a website that can save a business time and money can give you a much bigger ROI. If a website costs £10,000 but it can perform tasks you don't need to do saving you £1,000 a month on resources. That's a £12,000 saving a hear. So really you are getting £2,000 and a free website. That doesn't even take into consideration an increase in sales.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
Why do you think you need a new website? It sounds like a silly question but actually it highlights some information on what you need to find out about your audience.
What can your website do for you?
