We wanted a team that would support, and proactively allow us to grow and develop key areas of our online business presence with care, attention to detail, and flexible working, and needed the best online platform to establish our brand upon.
The impact of hiring Web Epoch was all positive, resulting in organic business growth. We were able to consistently develop our website and key features to enhance the customer shopping journey; above and beyond application defaults which were previously limiting our potential.
The best thing about Web Epoch is humility, sincerity, transparency, honesty; underlined with a solid work ethic and considered application of time and resources.
We would certainly recommend Web Epoch; as a start-up they were able to provide advice on key features to offer customers a welcoming shopping experience. As a growing business they were able to give us the support we needed to continue in our journey of development. It was great knowing we could plan ideas, features, and operational changes; then pass this onto the Web Epoch team to plan and execute in a co-operative effort.
Honest business conduct is sometimes difficult to source; Web Epoch’s conduct as a company has been brilliant from the moment our business relationship commenced; the industry needs more teams like Web Epoch.

This has been an amazing experience. We needed a web app developed on mobile first principles with a great deal of project management incorporated into the site.
The team worked closely with us from a long investigative phase to development of the brief, advising on best practices as well as cutting edge tech that is now available.
The result is a website that has a lot of potential for further development, both in terms of project management and end user experience.
We are still a start up in the prototyping phase. This structure allows us to find product market fit with minimal cost compared to building native apps to deliver our content. However, the current structure will also allow us to develop the apps once we're there.
This short review fails to do justice to their work for us.
We expect to be back in a few months to continue development into the next phases.

We at KFC (UK) worked with Web Epoch to deliver a global HR tool. They were very easy to work with and acted in a consultancy manner too, which we found very useful. They were very professional and stuck to their deadlines. We would recommend Web Epoch and looking forward to working with them again. More...
What makes a great website?
1. A website that serves the purpose for which it was built, efficiently and elegantly
2. Follows common web development conventions for ease of scalability, important for business growth
3. Aesthetically clean and pleasant with great usability across most user devices from desktops to mobile (of course, responsive)
4. Content is always king
5. Incorporates some of the latest web design trends, such as Material Design (Google's card-based design concept), full-screen images and videos
6. Integration with social networking platforms, and leveraging that to give the end user a unique personalised experience
7. If it is an eCommerce website, it should have a pleasant shopping experience with swift and smooth checkout process
8. It should use the right available technology suited to its purpose. For example: Wordpress for a lightweight brochure website, a blog or a start up eCommerce platform, or Laravel for a bespoke highly scalable application, with an Angular or React frontend if intended for the consumer market.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
1. What role does the website or the application play in your business plan, and what do you expect it to achieve for you?
This helps us ascertain the best technological solution they should opt for, which they may or may not have thought of.
2. Who are your intended audience/users?
To better understand the end-user expectations
3. Do you already have a customer base ? If you're just starting up how do you intend to acquire and retain users?
This will allow us to give our clients ideas and insights into increasing their user base, and to ensure the technology is ready for it.
4. When do you expect to have the site/app launched and what is your budget?
This allows us to devise the best short term and long term strategies, so our clients can make well-informed decisions with the end clearly in sight and a clear idea of project timelines and costs.
This process gives our clients invaluable insight into what makes a project successful, and gives us in-depth knowledge about the journey they want to take, and the destination they want to arrive at.
What do you love most about your job?
The smile on our clients' faces when we improve their work lives by utilising the best technological solutions to increase productivity and efficiency at work.
What inspired you to start your own business?
We've always had a passion for internet-related technologies since internet was first introduced to consumers in the UK circa 1995. Passion eventually lead to freelancing in the late 90s, and then to business in the early noughties.
