Websites & microsites
WordPress specialists
WordPress is the most popular CMS in the world, supporting half of the top million and over a third of the top 10,000 websites by traffic (source: Builtwith). Now over 15 years old, WordPress today is robust, secure, scalable and exclusively designed around the needs of content editors to make everyday life easy. It’s also open source and comes without any license fees or restrictions. We love it and you will too!
Memorable and engaging
Every site we produce is designed and built from the ground up to meet the brief, and exceed user expectations. We’re not using off-the-shelf templates, paint by numbers, or paid-for themes. Working collaboratively, we’ll help you craft a clear and concise message that makes the investment case, and we spend a long time considering aesthetics to drive communication and help your readers digest your story.
Dedicated account management
The Brighter IR team has many years’ experience helping PLCs across multiple markets communicate with stakeholders and meet regulations. We’re no strangers to 7am uploads, late-night emails, and as an FCA regulated agency we treat all client communications with care and sensitivity. You’ll find our team friendly, diligent and dedicated, just how it should be. We’ll take care of it all so you don’t have to.
Delivering to high standards
We like to think that we take web development pretty seriously. Our client sites are designed with a diverse range of audiences in mind and we work hard to ensure they meet common web standards. Each site is served over HTTPS, optimised for search engines, and features clean and valid code developed to agreed World Wide Web (W3C) standards for HTML5 and CSS. We also care about website accessibilty, page speeds and cross-browser compatibility.
Why we like to use WordPress
