Seedling Media is a small-but-perfectly-formed website development agency led by Mark Gibbens. We’re based in Sheffield, and work with people across the UK. We build excellent websites and Content Managment Systems, and are particularly good at working with our clients to build exactly the kind of website they need.

Strong visual design, excellent communication

As you’ll see from our Case Studies, we work hard at presenting our clients in the best possible light. We do a lot of work early on in our projects to get to know our clients, what they’re good at, and the ways in which they want to grow. This helps us pin down the stuff their site really needs to communicate. Armed with this clarity, we can unleash our creative process to generate the ideas and designs which will best carry the core messages.

Putting you in control

A lot of businesses work quite hard to disempower you and force you into a dependency. We do exactly the opposite. Everything we do is done to maximise your freedom and choice. We often implement open-source website software for our clients, leaving them free to go to any other web design agency for future developments. Where we need to write bespoke software, we work to the best and most open industry standards.

Our clients receive excellent training and support which helps them get the most out of the work we do. And they get their websites under an open license which allows them complete freedom and ownership.

Keeping it simple

One of the things we are very hot on is accessibility and usability. In short, our websites are extremely easy to use and work with. We ensure that every part of our websites are highly accessible to all, helping you to attract the widest range of visitors, and support the most diverse range of people in your organisation.

We design our websites in the most direct and simple ways we can. We find that the discipline of simplicity guarantees the clearest communication, the highest accessibility and the most beautiful design-work.

Onwards and upwards

Our experience gives us a lot of insight into how people’s needs change as their projects and businesses grow. While we’re busy building you the thing you need now, we’re also bearing in mind the ways in which you might need to develop. In essence, this means that whatever we do for you, it will be a great platform for building on in your future.
