SCOPED TO YOUR PROJECT

Start with the work
your website has to do.

The number of pages is only one part of a brief. Editing needs, customer journeys, integrations and migration can change the work involved.

A focused company website

A clear introduction, service information and an enquiry route. A premade design can provide a starting point; a bespoke design can address a different brief.

Website design options ↗

A larger website or CMS build

Plan connected content, different audiences, languages and the features visitors need. Agree a first release and the work required to publish and maintain it.

Plan a .NET website ↗

An existing platform

Review what can stay, what needs attention and how changes can be tested. Support and migration are separately scoped around the actual application.

WHO WE WORK WITH

Different businesses.
Different website requirements.

We welcome independent businesses, established organisations and agencies needing website development. We plan the content, publishing and functionality around the people who will use it.

PROPERTY

Present your agency, explain your services and discuss property listings with a CMS for keeping details current.

HIGH STREET & INDEPENDENTS

Retail businesses

Introduce your shop, highlight your products and make opening hours, location and contact information easy to find.

TRADES & BUILDING

Builders

Show the work you do, the areas you cover and past projects, with a clear route for customers to request a quote.

PROJECTS & LOCAL SERVICES

Construction & more

Explain your capabilities and showcase completed work. We also welcome enquiries from other local service businesses.

SELECTED CLIENT WORK

Real client websites.
The same thoughtful approach.

Two current clients, two different requirements: a multilingual property CMS and a straightforward HTML business website.

WHAT PEOPLE WE WORK WITH SAY

Long relationships.
In their own words.

“We’ve worked with Abaca Digital since 2010 on more than ten client projects, from the Isle of Man Rent a Car booking system to the T&N claims database. They build the CMS and database work behind our clients’ websites, and several of those systems are still running and supported today. Having a development partner who knows our projects that well has been invaluable.”

Steven CaveneyProject Manager, Cybase & Rapid Technologies

“Abaca Digital built our website and CMS in 2019 and we still use both every day. We manage our properties, news and guides ourselves, in more than one language, and they're there when we need technical help.”

Tia AoOwner, Synergy Estate

“We wanted a clear, professional website that explains what we do without unnecessary complexity. Abaca Digital delivered exactly that, and it still represents the firm well today.”

Joseph G. LeungManaging Partner, Aubreck Leung

“Between 2012 and 2014 Abaca Digital developed the CMS and database behind several of our client websites, including multilingual sites in English, Chinese and Russian. They worked from our designs, understood what each client needed to manage, and delivered systems they could run themselves.”

Ouyang LeiDirector, Lime Creative

OUR OWN PROJECTS

Ideas we build.
Products we make our own.

Alongside client work, we develop our own websites. These are our own projects, rather than external client commissions.

THE ABACA APPROACH

A website is a project.
A good partnership
lasts much longer.

Abaca Digital is run by Baker Tian, a London-based .NET developer with around 15 years of website experience.

Around 30 projects so far, most of them through recommendations from people we have worked with before. You deal directly with the developer leading your project, with trusted self-employed specialists brought in for design, hosting and other work where it is needed. We bring design and development together, with a practical approach to your goals, budget and the way you run your business.

Whether you’re starting fresh, replacing an ageing website or making more of your CMS, we’ll help you find a practical way forward.

Let’s get to know your business ↗

HOW WE WORK

Clear thinking.
From first conversation to launch.

01 / DISCOVER

First, we listen.

Your goals, your audience, your current challenges. We start by understanding what the website needs to do.

02 / DESIGN

Make it feel right.

We shape the structure, content and visual direction into a clear, considered experience.

03 / DEVELOP

Build it properly.

We bring the design to life in .NET, connect your CMS and check the details across screen sizes.

04 / EVOLVE

Keep moving forward.

Launch is the beginning of the next chapter. We can help your website evolve as your business does.

A LOW-COST STARTING POINT

One annual plan.

A proposed starter package from £299 a year for a simple three-page website, CMS and hosting.

A FEW THINGS YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING

Good questions.
Straight answers.

What size of project do you take on?+

Mostly small and medium-sized websites, along with support for existing .NET websites. A larger build can work when it is phased into clear stages, or when we provide development for another agency. We take on a limited number of projects at a time so each one gets proper attention. Our starter plan remains a separate option for a simple small-business site.

Can you redesign our existing website?+

Yes. We’ll start with what’s working, what’s holding you back and what your team needs next. That helps us decide what to retain, improve or rebuild.

Do you work with existing .NET websites?+

Our focus is .NET. We can review your existing website and discuss a sensible approach to improvements, integrations or a rebuild.

Will we be able to update our own content?+

That’s what a well-considered CMS should make possible. We’ll discuss your publishing needs and build the editing experience around your team.

How much will our website cost?+

It depends on the scope, content, CMS and integrations. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll discuss the work involved before proposing a way forward.

YOUR NEXT CHAPTER STARTS HERE
