Development
We build for the web, from a fast, good-looking brochure site through to a business-critical application thousands of people rely on every day. Whatever the size of the job, you work with the same senior Plymouth team from the first conversation to long after launch.
Sites and applications of every size
No two projects turn up the same. One business needs a tidy marketing site it can keep up to date without ringing us every week; another needs bespoke software built around the exact way it works. We are comfortable right across that range, and we will always be straight with you about what a project needs, rather than selling you more than it does.
What we build:
- Marketing and brochure websites on a content management system you can update yourself.
- Bespoke web applications, tailored to your workflow and designed to save you time and money as you grow.
- Online shops, from a handful of products to large, complex catalogues.
- Interactive and hardware experiences, such as the touchscreen exhibits we have built for aquariums.
- Integrations that connect your site to the other systems your business depends on.
Online shops that fit your business
Selling online should be straightforward for you and for your customers. We build shops on proven, scalable platforms, and bespoke where an off-the-shelf system would only get in the way, handling everything from product catalogues and payments to stock, shipping and the integrations that keep it all in step with how you actually trade. Our experience runs from small independent stores to busy, high-traffic retail.
Already have a site? We will happily take it on
You do not have to start from scratch to work with us. We are just as at home inheriting a site someone else built as we are starting a new one. We regularly take over WordPress and Drupal sites, modernise ageing applications stranded on unsupported software, and untangle the kind of legacy code that has become risky or expensive to change.
We will look over what you have, tell you what is worth keeping, and get it back onto stable, secure, supported ground, then keep it there.
Done properly from the start
Speed, accessibility and search visibility are not extras we bolt on at the end; they are part of how we build. Your site will load quickly, work properly on every device, be usable by everyone who comes to it, and stand a real chance of being found. And because we host and look after what we build, it carries on running smoothly for years, not just on launch day.
With 47 SEA LIFE centers across the world, housing hundreds of thousands of creatures, the amount of information we have to process can be overwhelming. The HYDRA system, developed by Freeway Projects, enables us to marshall all of that important knowledge and information into one system making it available globally in real time. Freeway Projects have provided a cost effective, robust solution on time and to a world class standard. From design to implementation, support and future proofing, SEA LIFE could not have asked for more.
