why choose us

Performance and track record – our team

Hammer design is well experienced, well resourced and has a long standing established track record for delivering original ideas and excellent product.
Our performance has been measured throughout the project management process many times and our answer would be to take a look at or talk to previous clients. Most of our work comes on recommendation and we firmly believe in the wisdom of doing our best at all times for all work.

The right tool for the job

Choosing the right tool for the job can be difficult – but choosing the correct partner for your website design, development and hosting is a minefield – there are so many agencies, companies, individuals and businesses out there offering a bewildering array of technical services, promising everything and wrapping it all up in a confusing blanket of jargon and pointlessly long explanation.

So keeping it to the point

We at Hammer Design aim to keep this whole process simple, we listen and we aim to talk in a language you understand.

The product

We aim to deliver a pithy, precise and profitable product - Hitting the nail on the head

"It has been a pleasure working with Si and the team. As frustrated mountain bikers Mike and I wanted to create a website that provided a one-stop resource for bikers. We arrived with a clean sheet and it has been fantastic to see our idea develop in to  a fantastic website. Our partners, including Ordnance Survey and the English and Scottish YHAs, are knocked out by the wealth of content – thanks guys!"
