  • Gorilla Events

    WordPress development project award to us by Mylo. The majority of the development work with this project revolved around the front-end of the site with multiple nested carousels of content animated with jQuery. There’s also some neat semi-transparent parts of the main carousels which overlay on the background.

    Tech used: WordPress, FontDeck, jQuery, CSS3.

    WE ARE GORILLA EVENTS: PRODUCERS OF AWARD WINNING EVENTS, A TALENTED BUNCH OF INSPIRED AND CREATIVE EVENT DESIGNERS, EVENT MANAGEMENT SPECIALISTS, BRAND AMBASSADORS

    Launch Date: April 2013     www.gorilla-events.co.uk

  • Patrona

    Patrona’s ecommerce site is built with LemonStand to sell their innovative travel products. Patrona wanted to create a completely automated system to fulfil orders placed on the site. Our expertise with LemonStand allowed us to integrate parcel delivery collections with Amazon order streaming which offers the ultimate in ecommerce fulfilment.

    Using different APIs we were able to integrate LemonStand with Amazon, Cardsave and Parcel2Go which now requires the minimal of order processing by Patrona.

    Launch Date: October 2012     www.patrona.com

  • M&C Saatchi Mobile

    We had the pleasure of building the M&C Saatchi Mobile site after being awarded the project by Mylo.

    Built upon WordPress and taking full advantage of HTML5 canvas elements to provide animated infographics on the homepage carousel. Soon to be fully responsive.

    Tech used: WordPress, CSS3, HTML5, jQuery.

    Launch Date: January 2013     www.mcsaatchimobile.com

  • Leftbank Pictures

    Leftbank Pictures was a challenging development project from agency Mylo that needed to combine full screen imagery and video with a set of ‘carousels’ for displaying tv and film productions.

    The site was developed in WordPress and handed over to the client for content management. Leftbank Pictures is hosted on the 10° hosting network using a content delivery network for ultimate loading speed and is optimised for tablets as well as desktop browsers.

    Launch Date: September 2012     www.leftbankpictures.co.uk

  • Spoke Interactive

    Spoke Interactive was a project awarded to 10° by Mylo. The brief was to create a site that was full responsive – meaning it will work on any desktop, tablet or mobile device by resizing the existing content.

    Responsive sites differ from ‘mobile optimised’ sites because they use exactly the same content, yet the layout changes automagically to fit different sized screens. This technique uses media queries to load different stylesheets depending on the device it’s being viewed on.

    Launch Date: July 2012     www.spoke-interactive.com

  • Organise Us

    We first met Vicci Butler and Lisa Cherryman in 2010 when they needed a local company to manage their website. We have since helped transform their website into a fully-fledged ecommerce system which represents the premium products Organise Us sell.

    Clear, confident branding, matched with a simple shopping experience has steadily increased sales over the last two years. We continue to support Vicci & Lisa with their business by offering new ideas to increase sales.

    Launch Date: April 2012     www.organise-us.com

  • Nina & Co.

    Nina & Co are a hospitality focussed full service agency. We produced Nina’s website as part of our partnership.

    Nina & Co brings together the skills, knowledge, expertise and flair of a really talented bunch of people and small businesses. Working together as a cooperative to offer extremely cost effective no fuss robust marketing solutions that make a real difference to any business.

    In addition to working with Jonny for several years I have recently contracted him to carry out several web projects for our clients.

    The work carried out at 10° has been meticulous and we are delighted with the results.

    I have no hesitation in recommending 10° for all aspects of website
    development.

    Nina Bentley - Director/Founder

  • Mylo Design

    We have worked with Mylo Design since 2010 – they contract the majority of their web development to us. This relationship has allowed Mylo to push the boundaries of design & development by having us as their technical partner.

    We produce the majority of their sites using WordPress but have also collaborated on ecommerce sites too. We are their preferred supplier for hosting. For larger projects we’ve also worked with Mylo’s other technology partners to deliver a product that fulfils the technical needs of everyone involved.

    We have contracted 10° consistently over the past two years. It is extremely difficult to find a quality development company who have a fantastic understanding of the design requirements of a given project and what you have with 10° is exactly that.

    On top of this, they've been exceptionally enjoyable to work with and are extremely proud of their work which means time after time they produce brilliant results. 

    Tom Cledwyn - Director/Founder

    Launch Date: Late 2011     www.mylodesign.co.uk

  • Jon Bradley

    Jon Bradley approached us in 2011 to discuss the two parts of his business, corporate photography (for brands such as L’Oreal, Dom Perignon and Body Shop) and wedding photography. Given the nature of the two audiences we decided to design and develop two websites which maintain consistency of branding but are individually tailored and linked.

    The websites feature multiple galleries in different formats, are both built in WordPress and have a full range of search optimisations.

    10° is first class when in comes to website design and development! We gave them a brief to update our corporate website, a task they did so well that we commissioned them to work on our wedding website too.

    We couldn't recommend 10° enough. They work hard, let you know what they're working on every step of the way and they're so helpful. Jonny & Lynda don't talk jargon and gave us 'walkthrough' guides to enable us to confidently work on our websites.

    A fantastic talent and one we would certainly work with again.

"We couldn't recommend 10° enough. They let you know what they're working on every step of the way and they're so helpful. They don't talk jargon and gave us 'walkthrough' guides to enable us to confidently work with our websites to ensure that they are always up to date." - Rachel Bradley, Jon Bradley Photography

About Us

Finding reliable web developers is tricky business. We maintain lasting relationships with all our clients. We’re currently a small team but we have worked on some big projects – ensuring they are well specified, on budget, get delivered on time and continue to evolve post-launch.

We currently work with a small number of creative agencies. We can’t disclose all the projects we’ve worked on due to NDAs with some agencies but the ones happy for us to disclose this information are Fresh01Mylo Design and Example. We are happy to work with agencies in a transparent fashion, or that require our discretion under an NDA.

We support you in using it, and it’s future-proof so your website can grow with your business and clients.

WordPress is open source and free to use so there's no ongoing costs besides hosting. The cost you pay us for a WordPress site covers the time spent developing the design & functionality. We can also manage your WordPress hosting for you.

Email or call us to discuss how WordPress will work for your website.

We Use LemonStand For Ecommerce

It’s administration screens are easy to use and feature-packed which means you’ll have an easy time managing products, stock, orders and payments. It’s open source but requires a $300 license for commercial use (one off).

What we specifically like about LemonStand is its ability to be extended and integrate into other services via APIs (e.g. Mailchimp, Facebook, PayPal, CardSave, Parcel2Go, Amazon etc).

LemonStand can be customised to fit any website design and the purchasing process can be as easy or detailed as you like. We'll also help you out by hosting LemonStand on our server platform.

Products can have infinite customisation options (colour, size, personalisation for example) and there's an extensive discount/voucher system in place allow you to manage your business how you want to.
