Designing for People Who Are Just Skimming

People don’t read websites word for word, they scan for the information that matters most. Designing for this behaviour creates clearer, more intuitive experiences that help users find answers faster.

Why Custom Doesn’t Have to Mean Fragile

Custom-built systems don’t have to be fragile. When designed with strong architecture, clear processes and long-term thinking, bespoke solutions can be both flexible and highly maintainable. The real risk isn’t custom development, it’s poor implementation.

Testimonials

Hard Work and Lasting Impact

Been a very busy day – but just wanted to pass on a message from our side to say a HUGE thanks for all of your hard work today and in the weeks and months that have led up until now.

A huge amount of pages (roughly half the website) are impacted by today’s changes which means all of the fantastic work done so far will have wide ranging and positive impact on our users.

So, once again – thank you, and excellent work!

One of the most innovative and rewarding projects

Working with the Juicy Media team to transform our company website has been one of the most innovative and rewarding projects I have undertaken. From the initial discovery and planning stages through to the successful launch, the team provided expert guidance, creativity, and technical expertise throughout the process.

The result is a modern, professional website that better reflects our organisation, enhances the user experience, and provides a strong platform for future growth. We are extremely proud of the finished product and the positive impact it has already had, generating increased public engagement and strengthening our online presence. Juicy Media’s collaborative approach, attention to detail, and commitment to delivering excellence were instrumental in the project’s success.

Modern, Engaging School Website with a Personal Touch

Juicy Media Group created a modern, easily accessible website for our school. The team were incredibly supportive throughout the process, listening to our ideas and adding useful suggestions. They even provided a photographer, taking wonderful pictures of the school and pupils. These images can be seen throughout our website and highlight what we do best. I and the governors could not be happier with our new website.

Spectacular Service and a Seamless Website

Juicy Media have been spectacular. They have been in close correspondence, offered consistent support, and met deadlines reliably. Beyond that, they have delivered an efficient, reliable, modern and secure website that brings all of our nursery locations and brands together into an easy-to-manage and straightforward structure.

We’re pleased and confident that our new website will be a great asset to our business.

Transformative Digital Solutions That Drive Growth and Revenue

Juicy Media has redesigned our website, implemented a paywall for memberships, improved our SERP listings, implemented a reliable hosting platform on our AWS tenancy, and identified further, precious opportunities to enhance our workflow efficiency. In turn, they have generated additional memberships, CTA and increased our website revenues. We continue to work with and recommend the team at Juicy Media.

From pre-project planning through to build, test, launch and post launch support; the Juicy Media team have been a pleasure to work with.

Juicy Media are an incredibly creative and hardworking team. They bring the ability to generate ideas to capture the mind of the end-user as well as the drive to implement those ideas and turn them into reality.
