All about Branches Design.

A little bit of history.

Branches Design sign outside officeBranches Design Limited formed in 1998 in the historic rural market town of Clitheroe in the picturesque Ribble Valley, right in the heart of the UK and quickly established itself as a national (and regional) market leader in the field of bespoke web site design and ecommerce solutions. Working on the novel idea of producing web sites for people that would load fast and be as search engine friendly as possible, Branches Design quickly gained an enviable reputation.

Branches Design officeSince then we have produced a large number of unique and successful web sites, using our experience of what works alongside an innovative approach to each project. Every one of our websites has improved business performance for our customers.

We have decades of experience in traditional design and marketing media to back up our web site development and offer a full design service from corporate identity onwards.

Size doesn't matter.

We deal with companies of all sizes; one employee through to thousands of employees. It makes no odds to us. Everyone is treated in the same manner - professionally.

Its great to be liked.

Because we are a small business you will find our services to be professional and friendly. Because we are a small business we can focus on your needs better in order to get the job done. Because we define the term 'design' to be slightly different than the traditional view, we offer fresh approaches to common day 'design' situations.

Our work.

Working strategy.

Our objectives are fairly straightforward; provide you with the highest quality web site for the most reasonable amount of money in the best time possible. This gets broken down into our 'design principals' with which we stick when first designing web sites. Our design principals are that that a web site has to be:

  • Search engine friendly.
  • Highly usable.
  • Easy to navigate.
  • Accessible.
  • Compatible across different browsers.
  • Manageable.
  • Unique, attractive, un-cluttered and professional.

Sticking to these working models and principals has allowed us to create web sites that really work for their owners. Many people have commented on how refreshing it is to find a web site that is intuitive to navigate and allows them to get to important information as quickly as possible. We are dedicated to, and have a passion for, producing simple, clear and usable customer-focused designs.

It's not just about web sites though.
