Our dedicated software engineers can help you with…

Bespoke website solutions

From stunning brochure websites to show off your brand to more complex results driven platforms, we strongly believe that no two websites should be the same. From the navigation and structure, through to page layouts and interaction, we work to not just meet but to excel client expectations.

Scalable web development

Whether you need a small business website or a large-scale portal, we offer flexible and scalable web development solutions. Our team excels in crafting websites that grow with your business, using platforms like Laravel for complex integrations and custom functionality. We ensure that your website is future-proof and built with scalability in mind.

Responsive web design

With users accessing websites from a variety of devices, we design responsive websites that perform beautifully across all screen sizes. Whether on mobile, tablet, or desktop, your website will offer a consistent and engaging experience.

Wordpress development

WordPress is easily one of the best-known and most commonly used website platforms - for good reason! The CMS is easy to use and it offers a great amount of flexibility for our customers and their busy teams. We use our own bespoke WordPress skeleton when we're building in this platform and generally limit our use of plug ins, to maximise security and reduce the likelihood of speed issues or Third Party failures.

Laravel development

Laravel is a popular open-source framework for building web applications using PHP. It is an efficient and cost-effective programming language when it comes to creating websites of various sizes and complexities. We often develop in Laravel when a website requires scalability, has complex integrations or has a lot of bespoke functionality - such as ticketing platforms and large portals.

Shopify

When it comes to complicated or product-heavy e-commerce websites, Shopify can be a great option. Our designers and developers are experienced when it comes to leveraging the best of Shopify and the user experience it offers, whilst still maintaining brand consistency and a holistic approach to all digital systems.

Accessibility

We are committed to designing inclusive websites. All our designs adhere to WCAG 2.1 A standards, ensuring accessibility for all users, while maintaining a visually engaging experience.

Optimisation and maintenance

Once we’ve built your website, we offer ongoing hosting, maintenance, and user-focused optimisation packages to ensure your website continues to perform at its best. We use real data to track and enhance performance, ensuring your site is always delivering for your users.

OUR APPROACH

Keeping your business goals top of mind…

We treat every web project as individually as our clients themselves. We specialise in bringing offline systems or functionality online. So whether it be a tool for lead generation or a full e-commerce website, with Ultimate’s process, you are in safe hands.

Discovery

We start by conducting a thorough discovery session, immersing ourselves in your business, goals, and target audience. This ensures we align our web development process with your strategic objectives and user needs.

Collaboration

We work closely with you throughout the process, ensuring that our design and development solutions reflect your brand’s identity and resonate with your audience. Our collaborative approach ensures that the final product aligns with your vision.

Wireframes and user flows

Before diving into design, we create wireframes and map out user flows, allowing us to visualise key interactions. This process ensures the structure and functionality of the website will deliver a seamless user journey.

Design and development

Our UX and design teams work together to create a site that is both visually compelling and functionally robust. Once the design is approved, our development team brings it to life, ensuring every aspect is executed flawlessly.

Review and feedback

We present the website to your team for review, incorporating your feedback to ensure the final product meets your needs.

Delivery

The most exciting part - we deliver your shiny new website. Our team provides support through the launch process, ensuring everything runs smoothly.

WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT

Bespoke website development

When someone lands on your site, you have less than 5 seconds to convince them they’ve come to the right place. That’s where we come in – we are proud of our track record in designing websites which both capture attention and encourage people to want to know more.

We approach every project with your business objectives at the forefront of what we do. Our process to get under the skin of our clients can be summarised through our tried and tested steps. If you have an existing website already we will analyse what works, what can be improved upon, and where it currently falls down in reaching your business’ goals. We then follow our simple, yet highly effective, steps through the project to ensure we exceed expectations.

WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT

A seamless experience across devices

We are living in the age of mobile – that is unquestionable. Technology is developing and growing at a rapid rate, and it may feel like an uphill battle to keep up. The simplest solution is to invest in responsive web development. Responsive sites are so fluid that they can easily adapt to the newest screen sizes and shapes, with minimum effort from the business or end-user. Their scalability ensures that components remain in proportion and there is rarely a need for the dreaded horizontal scroll bar, vastly improving user experience.

When we design and develop responsively we avoid the mind-set of a ‘mobile only’ site. With limited space it is important to prioritise content but there still needs to be consistency across all devices. The user should be able to access everything on a mobile or tablet that they can on a desktop, even if the layout and navigation might be altered. We achieve this by building responsiveness into every stage, rather than treating it as an afterthought. There is no ‘main site’ and ‘mobile site’ because they are all considered equally.

WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT

Supporting you from day one to beyond

We work with a wide range of website platforms so we create what we truly believe is the best solution for you. These include WordPress, Laravel and Magento. We then offer full CMS training so you can feel confident that you know how to update the pages and content of your website. Each website project is assigned a dedicated account manager who is your go-to from start to finish so you always have a main point of contact throughout your project. Our website development process is clear, concise and works to a plan to make sure that we deliver on time and on budget.
