We begin by clarifying what the website needs to say, who it needs to reassure and what should happen next. That structure shapes the UX, content and technical choices, so the finished site feels easier to trust, easier to use and easier to build on.

Process
Clear steps from website brief to confident launch.
Each website project is shaped around the business, the audience and the decisions visitors need to make. From first call to launch, you know what is happening, who owns it and what comes next.
Prompt start
Once the scope is agreed, we move quickly into the work with clear next steps and no unnecessary handover.
Clear sprints
Complex requests are broken into practical stages so the team can review progress and keep decisions moving.
01
Listen & Learn
Every engagement starts with understanding. We dive deep into your business, your challenges, and where you want to go. No assumptions, just questions that matter.
02
Strategy First
Before any pixels are pushed, we align on direction. Whether it's a brand identity or product redesign, we make sure we're solving the right problem.
03
Design in Sprints
We work in focused cycles with regular check-ins. You'll see progress weekly, not monthly. No big reveals. No surprises. Just steady momentum.
04
Refine Until Right
Your feedback shapes the work. We iterate based on what's working and what isn't, refining until everyone's genuinely excited about the results.
05
Launch & Learn
We stick around for implementation and measure what matters. Every project teaches us something that makes the next one better.

It’s rare to find technical skill matched with such a strong eye for brand. The migration was seamless with zero downtime, and we now have a platform our team can update independently in real-time. Crucially, we now have the data visibility to inform our future campaigns.
We recently worked with Dave and his team for a full website re-design. The end result is fantastic—professional, clean, and exactly what we needed to move the business forward.
Brainstorm are brilliant. Created a superb website for Thomond Park and their support service is excellent. Nothing is too much trouble and Dave Curtin their creative director is top class. I highly recommend Brainstorm.

Dave Curtin

Your project is led by founder and Creative Director Dave Curtin, supported by the senior specialists responsible for strategy, design and development. There is no separate account-management layer.
Yes. Most of our website work begins with an existing site that no longer fits the business. We identify what should be retained, rewritten, restructured or retired before the new design begins.
Yes. We can connect positioning, visual identity, voice, UX and website delivery so the brand and site work as one system. When existing branding should be retained, we design within it carefully.
Yes. We build maintainable CMS structures in WordPress, Webflow or Framer where appropriate, then provide training and practical guidance so your team can publish routine content without relying on a developer for every change.
We review the product range, customer journey, content, checkout requirements, analytics and operational constraints before design. For WooCommerce or Shopify projects, the goal is a clear, manageable store that supports conversion without adding unnecessary complexity.
Every website includes technical SEO foundations such as crawlable structure, metadata templates, redirects, sitemap configuration, performance checks and analytics. Search performance also depends on competition, content and authority, so we never guarantee a particular ranking.
Projects are quoted as a fixed fee based on strategy, content, functionality and technical scope. Once discovery is complete, you receive a clear proposal that explains what is included, what is optional and what your team needs to provide.
Most business websites take 6-8 weeks. More complex e-commerce or platform projects generally take 10-12 weeks. You will see progress in focused stages rather than waiting for a final reveal.
We can work with supplied content, improve existing content or write new website copy where needed. Content responsibilities are agreed early so the design is built around real messaging, not placeholder text.
Availability depends on current project commitments and the scope of work. If the project is a good fit, we will confirm the earliest practical start date and the steps needed to keep momentum once work begins.
