Web Development and CMS Platforms

Although we’ve been in business for just under 10 years, our experience goes way back. Several of us have been developing sites since the 90s, building experience from pretty much the dawn of the internet as we know it through until now.

When we look at the elements we now build into our websites as standard - analytics, SEO, social integration, mobile responsive design and security hardening - these things didn't exist back then.

This just goes to show that we can't ever stop learning, but then that's what keeps life here at Factory73 interesting.

Umbraco

Umbraco is an excellent open-source CMS platform, which is head and shoulders above the competition. It is ideally suited to start-up and SME website projects but can also be deployed at scale for global delivery. Umbraco is capable, flexible and extremely easy-to-use, and at zero cost is an obvious choice for our clients.

Sitecore XP

Sitecore is an Enterprise CMS. but that doesn't really cover it. Whilst its content capabilities have been best-in-class for over ten years, it is a world-leading "Digital Experience Platform". This means it's built to maximise your Digital Marketing outcomes through built-in tools such as Personalisation, MVT Testing and Marketing Automation.

Digital Platforms

Web development is in our DNA, and we've lost count of how many sites we've built. That said, it is more important to think about how many happy clients we've had, clients who can talk about their website with a sense of pride, and with confidence that it truly reflects their brand, values and products.

We include all the elements to ensure your site is fully compliant and has the behind-the-scenes features your website needs to perform, including SEO, social integration, Google Analytics, AA+ Accessibility, security hardening, GDPR data protection measures and page load performance optimisation.

We want to deliver the best product possible to give your new website the best start in life.

Resilient, Scalable Hosting

We have been hosting sites as long as we've been building them, and we pride ourselves in finding pragmatic and cost-effective solutions for our clients that don't compromise on performance and stability.

We can host your site on one of our shared servers, find you a dedicated flexible VPS plan, or build a fully automated scalable cloud platform on Azure. We exceed expectations on all platforms, and with an Enhanced Support SLA we're proactive and on hand to ensure everything is kept in good shape.

Content Migration

An often-overlooked part of a project, content migration helps maintain your SEO and saves your team a whole lot of time. Over the years we have developed ways of tackling this often-complex problem, and we can lift-and-shift content quickly and cost-effectively.

Whether we're talking about user data, blog or news content, or all pages wholesale in a full re-platform, we have strategies to do this programmatically whatever the format of the source.

Microsoft .NET Specialists

Our solutions are based around Microsoft technologies, including .NET, SQL Server and Azure Cloud. By selecting our technologies and frameworks very carefully, and testing before we recommend these to our clients, we ensure our solutions are robust, secure and highly maintainable.

Both Sitecore and Umbraco are based on .NET and are aligned with Microsoft Azure cloud hosting. Our in-house migration and integration frameworks are also .NET based and can be cloud deployed.
