We help you to do things on the internet by seeing problems and opportunities that others might not see. Creating digital tools that work for humans, not the other way around.

When we started Proper Design in 2014, we were primarily WordPress developers, creating custom themes and plugins for clients and pushing the limits of what could be sensibly be achieved with WordPress.

As client projects began to demand more, we’ve been building modern web applications, primarily in Javascript, but integrating services of all kinds (including good old WordPress). This means understanding, designing and building every layer of the project, everything from consultation to data structure, to copywriting, scripts and editing to design and animation to user testing.

As the business continues to grow, we want to retain what makes our team special. We always ask difficult questions and rarely accept the first answer.

Our values and ethos

As an ethical supplier and partner we strive to meet the highest possible standards in sustainability, equal opportunities, equality, honesty, transparency, privacy, and data protection – beyond complying with the law in these areas.

We do not act as a vendor for technology and software suppliers and are in all other respects financially independent of such companies. This freedom allows us to focus on your best interests, choose the right technologies for you, and form a beneficial partnership. We favour technological solutions that give an excellent return on investment, including free and open source software.

Proper Design is proud to be an accredited Living Wage employer.
