About Signal
Ten people who build and run websites.
We started in 2014 as two developers in a shared office on Liberty Avenue. Today we are nine developers and a project lead, and most of our clients have been with us for more than three years.
We build websites and online shops for companies that sell, book or explain something online: shops, hotels, colleges, practices and makers.
Each project has one team from start to finish: two developers, a designer we work with, and a project lead. The same people look after the site afterwards on a care plan, if you want one.
We do not run ad campaigns or social media accounts. We work with the people who do, and give them a site that loads fast and measures what matters.
Measure before and after
Every project starts with numbers from your own site and ends with the same numbers measured again.
Build for the person editing
Editors get forms that match their content, and a site they can change without calling us.
Hand everything over
The code, the hosting and the accounts are in your name from the first day.
State the price
Every package has a published price. Larger projects get a fixed quote after a discovery sprint.
