What it does

Hardworking, highly functional websites that work

At Urban Element all of our websites are bespoke. We know that every business is different and that the type of site that will work best for you does not come off a shelf.

We take the time to really understand your business goals and objectives so that we create the most effective website for your business.

From highly complex to the more straightforward, the user experience is at the heart of every website we develop. We work in partnership with you, demystifying the technical and turning your ambitions into beautifully working websites.

What they say

I have worked with Urban Element on 2 website builds and PPC campaigns. Well organised, professional and a good balance of discussion vs recommendation. Not a pushy agency who always think they know best and trying to get more from you. Collaborative, supportive, understated and good value.

Front end development

Our front-end development team works hand-in-hand with our design and digital team to build a website that delivers a strong user experience. From navigation and functionality to content considerations, our developers will ensure your website generates business and gives visitors an experience that will only leave positive connotations for your brand.

From custom WordPress CMS sites to bespoke development, our team follows all industry standards. We’re committed to developing websites and applications that are search engine friendly, accessible, easy to update, fully responsive, and quick to load.

Back end development

Our back-end development team expertly integrates your internal and external systems. From databases and CRMs to Stock Control and Booking Systems our team are proficient across the board.

Our back-end developers write code that communicates the database information to the browser (a graphical user interface for displaying HTML files).

Integrated e-commerce and WooCommerce

WooCommerce is a free plugin that transforms WordPress websites into customisable eCommerce stores.

Our team can help you take either your existing e-commerce site and integrate it into a WordPress site, giving you greater functionality and hands-on management or take your WordPress site and transform it into a 24/7, 365 commerce site that allows your customers to buy from you whenever they want.

What they say

Conversion Rate Optimisation

Websites evolve over time especially with clients managing their own content and adding services and products through their Content Management System. Additionally, no website is ever 100% perfect so it’s vital that you don’t let your visitors slip through the cracks.

Our approach to conversion rate optimisation involves making website improvements based on real usage data. Through A/B testing, heat mapping, and tracking user behaviour, we are able to gather insightful data that allows us to optimise your website that aligns with your goals and provides a greater return on investment.

Ongoing support

Your website will only support your business effectively if it’s up to date, works properly, and is aligned with your business goals. If you have an existing site that needs some love, we can help. Our support packages for new and existing sites will keep your site running as it should. But more than that – our responsive tech team can help with any problems as they arise. We’ll also offer proactive suggestions to improve and optimise your website throughout its life.

Proactive projects

Your website is an asset to your business. Like any asset, it needs regular maintenance and refurbishment to keep it operating at optimum efficiency. Our support team can plan a programme of work based on how your site is being used. They’ll take into account your business priorities and best practices in the industry.

If you’re on an ongoing service contract and don’t need any fixes, the money you’ve spent isn’t lost. We’ll put your budget towards proactive changes, helping to keep your website current and providing value for money.

What they say

Moving your website to a new developer is never a decision to take lightly. One of our main reasons was that traffic to our old website was virtually non existent. Urban Element pride themselves on ensuring the content and SEO are targeted to attract the right customers. This has certainly been the case for us and the numbers of contacts we receive through the website has increased dramatically. The whole process from initial design through to implementation was done on time, on budget and with appropriate support and communication. I would, and do, highly recommend them.
