Responsive web design for any device...

We design for the modern web

The modern web is the mobile web, so your website has to be functional, beautiful, intuitive, fast to load, well-coded, and also adaptable to a myriad of different screen sizes and aspect ratios. In short, you need Responsive Web Design (RWD) and we take this approach as standard.

Quality coding and design

We build with modern web technologies, and write clean code to proper standards, so that search engines will love your site just as much as your visitors will. We design and build only what you need, which means no bloatware, no compromises, and happy customers.

Content management

If you want to be able to update your site yourself, we have you covered. We won’t dump your site into a bloated and yet restrictive off-the-shelf content management system (CMS). We have a lightweight, modular system of components, and we put together just exactly what you need to manage your site. Nothing more, nothing less.

A CMS that’s tailored to fit

We plan content management with you, and when you log in to your Admin Panel, you’ll only see what you need to get your editing done. Simple, straightforward, familiar interfaces make it a breeze to update any section of your site.

But I want...

Inline editing directly into your pages? No problem. Custom integrations? No problem. The system is personally tailored to your exact requirements, and basically, you can have it however you want it. How often are you told that, eh?

CMS with inline editing

A CMS that’s simple and intuitive to use

It really will be a snap to use and be tailored to be just what you need to get the job done. Still, we know that some people really don't have any experience of using content management systems, so if you need us to we'll make notes or provide example videos on basic operations too. Once they've had a try out before launch of their sites, our clients rarely ask us anything about using the CMS, a silence which speaks for itself!

DESIGN MY SITE

Domains

We can help you with registering or transferring domain names. Prices vary by suffix and registration term, so it’s easier just to get in touch and tell us what you’re after. If you host your site with us on our super-fast SSD servers, we can also set up email services for you and get the whole package up and running. We can move your existing site over to our Linux-based hosting too, if compatible. We’ll simplify and take care of technical stuff for you wherever possible.

Web hosting

To complete the service we can also host your website on our excellent Linux-based SSD servers, which give you lightning fast response, cPanel administrative control, and all of the services you would expect on a quality shared-hosting platform.

Fast, secure, and free SSL!

Our servers use CageFS to create a very secure environment, protecting your site from any trouble your neighbours might cause. We will also include a FREE SSL certificate for your account and we’ll set everything up for you so you don’t even have to think about the technical stuff.

Kim D:

...designed and created a fantastic new website for my business which I am absolutely thrilled with.... professional yet approachable, taking time to explain every stage and guiding me [with] expert knowledge and experience... always made me feel as if I was his only client which is a real skill and a rare quality to possess. Thank you so much Marvin, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your services to anyone.

Paul C:

Marvin is calm, positive, competent, genuine, professional, and combines his recording wizardry with his articulate, down-to-earth, person-centred approach to getting the job done efficiently. From first contact through to end product, he does everything he says he will do, at the time scales he promises, to a very high standard, at a very reasonable cost. Highly recommended.

Viv K:

I've worked with Marvin at darkHouse twice now recording seven different CDs, and I have really enjoyed both experiences, firstly because Marvin's warm and knowledgeable approach makes one feel very comfortable, and his keen ear and eye for detail is second to none. He was so helpful with my narrative, timing and delivery. I also commissioned him to do the artwork for my CDs and he worked to my brief and produced exactly what I wanted, first time around. I recommend Marvin to colleagues and look forward to working with him in the future...
