Trust an Essex web design agency that strives for more
Strive is an Essex marketing agency that creates exceptional websites for brands of all sizes in any industry. But this isn’t your run-of-the-mill agency experience. When you work with Strive, you don’t just get a website. You get a carefully crafted lead-generating machine that integrates with your existing collateral and strategies to grow your business in the most effective way possible.
A web design process that revolves around you…
Our proven six-step process puts you at the centre of the project and ensures we craft a website that meets your needs and serves your customers.
Workshop
We kick things off with an exploratory face-to-face collaborative workshop. You share your vision and tell us about your company. We ask questions about the underlying technical requirements of your site.
Strategy + Wireframing
We write everything up in a proposal that outlines our approach to the project. If you’re happy, we’ll create a clickable wireframe in Adobe XD that acts as a digital blueprint.
Design + Write
We start designing and writing your website, turning the wireframe into a beautiful, high-fidelity clickable prototype that showcases the user experience.
Build
We code your website and bring our designs to life. While we have our preferred back-end platforms, we will always work to your requirements where required.
Test + Populate
We're sticklers for perfection. Once developed, we’ll upload your website to a staging server where we can test and populate it. You get a final chance to make sure you’re happy with everything before it goes live.
Launch + Grow
We’ll put your website live once it’s been tested and signed off. At this point, we can provide an ongoing digital marketing service to generate traffic and grow your presence if required.

We're a platform-agnostic Essex web developer
We don’t believe in forcing you to use one CMS over another. While we may have our own preferences, we’re proudly platform-agnostic. That means you have the freedom and flexibility to choose your favourite CMS. If you don’t have a favourite, then we’ll help you choose the best platform for your goals.
Here are some of our favoured platforms
- ExpressionEngine
- Hubspot
- Shopify
- Laravel
What sets a Strive website apart?
Every website is completely bespoke, based on your brand and your goals. The only time we use themes is when designing for specific platforms like Shopify and HubSpot to ensure your site remains up-to-date.
Creating a beautiful website isn’t enough. We take your goals and requirements into account to create a website that drives results.
Every website is mobile responsive at a minimum. But we don’t stop there. We use CDNs to significantly accelerate your site’s loading speed and take other measures to improve the mobile experience.
Search engines will probably be your biggest source of traffic. That’s why every Strive website comes with a basic level of SEO optimisation to ensure your site can rank from day one.
We provide website maintenance and upkeep where necessary. We can create an SLA or fold everything into a comprehensive marketing retainer designed to generate a flood of traffic and leads.
We take security and uptimes seriously. Every Strive website is securely hosted on a cloud-based Digital Ocean server. This is an incredibly scalable approach, allowing us to increase or decrease requirements as necessary.

Scale with Strive
A new website shouldn’t be the end of your marketing journey, but the beginning. A beautiful lead-generating website forms the foundation of your online presence, but it’s only effective if you can generate a steady stream of traffic.
Through an ongoing digital marketing service, we’ll create and execute a bespoke omnichannel strategy that combines SEO, PPC, social media, email and any other relevant channel to send a flood of traffic to your new website.
