We’re always on the lookout for our next challenge…

Website Development

We work on a variety of projects ranging from simple landing pages and brochure websites, to designing APIs and developing existing applications. We are a flexible team and have worked on a variety of different platforms. It’s safe to say that if you have an idea for a web project, we can help. Some examples include:

  • An entry-level, information-only website
  • A custom e-commerce solution
  • An extensive lead generation site
  • A bespoke web application
  • Improving an existing or legacy system used in your business

Our proven processes have been designed to help you achieve your aims and are focused on sound, no-jargon communication. When starting a web project our first goal is understanding your business and what you would like to achieve.

Mobile Application Development

Mobile applications are more popular than ever and having an app your customers find useful at their fingertips can be extraordinarily helpful.

It’s easy to have an app that essentially mirrors a website. However, our first step is to work with you to understand what specifically about an app your customers would find helpful and what you would like to achieve with the application.

We use the same mobile app framework that Skype, Facebook, Airbnb and Instagram use to build their mobile apps. This, combined with our development approach, means we are able to create a responsive, well integrated application that works on both Android and Apple IOS. We also place these on the App Stores so they can be easily found and installed.

Additional Development

We’re a flexible team and have worked on a variety of different projects for customers. These include:

  • Developing a payment estimation calculator on top of a REST API for an accountancy firm.
  • Repairing ‘Hacked Sites’ by removing malicious code and installing firewalls
  • Optimising/repairing a relational database for an automotive company

You may be surprised at what we can do so don’t hesitate to get in touch. We can discuss your goal or issue and we will see if we can help.

Desktop Application Development

Desktop applications are typically developed to meet a very specific need in a way that 'off-the-shelf' applications cannot. This could relate to improving the way you work (e.g. automating or speeding up an existing time-consuming task) or targeting a specific customer demographic with an application that targets their needs.

We use the industry standard QT framework. This means that your application will have a familiar user interface. We also package your application for distribution as an installer making it quick and easy to deploy on to desktops.

"An integral part of our team! We have worked with Thrive for several years now and consider them as part of our extended team. Outside of great creative and branding work across our digital footprint, Thrive introduced us to the Inbound Methodology and are currently working with the implementation of Inbound into our business. Everything is done with an honest and open approach, simply explained with no jargon. We love working with Thrive and we're looking forward to progressing our inbound journey and seeing our organisation grow."

Philippa West

Director - Three Counties

"A patient and pragmatic creative partner! Thrive, and in particular director Johnny Woods, impressed with their pragmatic approach as well as being incredibly patient with us throughout the creative process. We really appreciated the added value we received with sound, sensible advice on social media campaigns and SEO. No smoke and mirrors or pushing us to spend money where we didn't need to."

Carol Rennard

Consultant Communications Director - Silk Family Law

“I can't speak highly enough of Thrive and their team. The extra mile is a familiar place to them, as they consistently go beyond what is expected and provide solutions that are unique and yet a perfect fit for your needs. The lengths they are prepared to go to in understanding our company culture and ethos really adds value to the service they offer. It is rare to find a marketing company that is so committed to really listening to you and understanding who you are!”

Kerina Clark

On behalf of Aycliffe Business Park Steering Group

“Thrive knows their stuff. I've worked with them on branding and developing websites. They will keep your focus on what your business needs. You know your business best and Thrive will work with you to get your branding right and a website that will deliver the results you need.”

Pamela Petty

“Excellent service, from the outset, and the time was taken to understand our needs and business. This translated into our fantastic website and marketing strategy.”

Stephen Maltby

Managing Director - Platinum Electrical Engineering 

“I've worked with Thrive on several digital projects and it has always been a pleasure. Thrive is very client-focused and committed to delivering a great result for all concerned and is definitely a safe pair of hands. The team are unfailingly positive and solution-minded and make proactive recommendations that help keep projects on track. They generate confidence from clients who trust their direct and honest approach.”

Jo Fletcher-Lee

“Thrive has been working on our websites, branding and graphics for about 3 years and I can honestly say they are a top team. Their creative ideas, attention to detail and much needed patience is why I don't go anywhere else!”

Gary Finley

SCH Site Services Ltd

“As an independent business owner I was looking for the right agency to work with to both bring my brand to life and re-design my website. Thrive took me through the process of articulating exactly what my business stands for – a thoroughly self-indulgent exercise! They invested time in really getting to know my business and the result was a brand and website that really excited me.”

Heather Monro

Executive Coach and Leadership Development Consultant

“Thrive has been instrumental in setting up and reinvigorating our company website. Their input and creative advice is second to none, and they’ve created a website and marketing material for us that we are over the moon with.”
