Awards
Six awards. Two wins.
A gold and four finalist places across 2025, our first full year, and a win in 2026. Judged on what we had built rather than what we intended to.
The list
What they were for.
-
SME Business Elite Awards 2026
Winner — Best Sustainable Web Consultancy & Agency
Awarded in 2026. The category is the organisers’ wording, from back when that is what we called ourselves.
-
SME Northamptonshire Business Awards 2025
Gold Winner — Best New Business
Our first full year, and the one we did not expect. Judged on growth, delivery and what we had actually built rather than what we planned to.
-
Northamptonshire Business Excellence Awards 2025
Finalist — Innovation
For the tooling: P.E.E.R. for scoring a build, EcoPigs for measuring what it costs to run, and Swynx for proving which code can never run so it comes out before launch.
-
Northamptonshire Business Excellence Awards 2025
Finalist — Sustainability
For building sites that are light because there is nothing in them, rather than light because someone bought an offset.
-
SME National Business Awards 2025
Finalist
The national round of the same awards we won locally, judged against businesses across the UK.
-
Midlands StartUp Awards 2025
Finalist
Regional, and against every kind of startup rather than only digital ones.
Why it matters, and why it does not
An award is not a reference.
Awards are useful for one thing: they mean someone outside the business looked at the work and did not find a reason to dismiss it. That is worth something in a market where anyone can claim anything.
They are not worth as much as a client whose booking system has handled eight thousand bookings, or a council still running a consultation platform we built two years ago. If you are choosing between agencies, ask to see something they still run. That tells you more than a badge does.
Get started
Judge us on the work instead.
Have a look at what we have built, then tell us what you need. That is a better test than any of this.
