  • Meeting to discuss website design and development with three people: two woman and one man, all with laptops sitting at a boardroom table. On the table are two water bottles, a notepad, pen, cables, pot of pens and a standing advert with a QR code on it. In the background is a plant and there are beams on the wall. There is a door on the far top left, exiting out of the office.
  • A blurred hospital corridor is depicted, featuring smooth, shiny floors in a light blue hue. The walls are painted in a similar blue tone, creating a calming atmosphere. In the foreground, a person in a white lab coat and blue trousers is walking, though their features are indistinct due to the blur. Bright overhead lights illuminate the corridor, which stretches into the distance, lined with doors and windows that are not clearly visible. The overall image conveys a sense of a healthcare environment.

User experience

Trusted by businesses and councils around Colchester.

We redesigned and rebuilt the eCommerce website for The Cheap Shop, a family-run haberdashery and craft store in Tiptree. Their old site was hard to manage and frustrating to shop, so we built a new WordPress site that makes their wide range of stock easy to browse and lets the team list products themselves. Customers now browse online before visiting the shop, which has helped increase footfall.

On the coast, we designed and built Love Clacton for Tendring District Council after a successful public tender. Created as part of a £20 million regeneration programme, it is Clacton’s first dedicated website, bringing together events, attractions and investment news in one place. Accessibility was built in from the start, and the site meets WCAG 2.2 AA.

We’re proud to support businesses and organisations across north Essex.

We recently partnered with We Create Digital to take over the management of our aging website and other brand sites, and we couldn’t be more impressed. From day 1 they quickly addressed and resolved issues proactively that had been plaguing us for months. The team is friendly, reactive and full of problem solvers who have gone above and beyond to identify issues swiftly but also get to the root cause. Their ability to deliver quick and reliable fixes has given us immense peace of mind. Highly recommend their services!

The team at We Create are great at what they do. The high quality of their work and attention to detail has helped with our first steps in our growth plans. I look forward to completing our ongoing projects as well as starting new ones with them in the future!
Adil Sheikh
Head of Product, Smart Money People
We Create Digital have done a fantastic job with my website since they took it over. They did a complete review and made lots of recommendations - not just about security but also usability both for myself and my customers, design and DPR. Their recommendations are always clear, considered and executed on a timely basis. If i want any changes they work hard to understand my requirements, suggest options and ensure I am happy with the proposed changes and am always clear on the cost and timeline before proceeding. They have my full confidence, I feel my website is in safe hands and I couldn't recommend them more highly.
Claire Barham
Owner, The Green Apron
Highly efficient agency with high quality work. They can't do enough when it comes to their services and creative problem solving! I've worked with WCD for the last 18 months and would highly recommend WCD to any business who need care and attention from their suppliers. They're knowledge and experience has been key to the success of the projects we've worked on together and the experience has been second to none! A great team with great work, who should pat themselves on the back more often.

Most websites take between a few weeks and a few months, depending on the number of pages, the features you need and how quickly content is ready.

A brochure site for a Colchester shop or practice can move quickly. eCommerce sites need more time for product data, payments, delivery options and testing across devices before launch.
