Web Development
What separates design from art is that design is meant to be… functional.
You have many options
Where does one honestly look these days when it comes time to build a website for their business or passion?
There is the fully fledged agency that charges in accordance with the rent on their fancy, prime located office, the amateur weekend website designer who will knock something up for a few hundred pounds however might also bring as many unforeseen challenges, or the plethora of DIY options now present online which promote the misconception that everyone is a web designer.
The answer?
Well, it really comes down to a number of options. Not least of which are budget, purpose, future development and vision for the site or business and flexibility.
We focus on aesthetics, SEO & Usability

The Approach
Short of just making words and pictures work together with award-winning style, your website should represent your brand and the experience your customers can expect to have with you. First impressions matter and are closely matched by a tight backend, seamless and robust code, and of course findability
Connect 5 Media falls somewhat into its own category. A small dynamic team based in Glasgow and London. On top of which, we have an expandable resource through strong partnerships that allow us to work on any job no matter how small or large.
The only thing that isn’t large are our fees. No big fancy high street offices here.
Just great quality work at a fair price.
