Everything we do has marketing and search at its core, we make sure that you look good (not our stylish designers and clever developers!), and we have such tight cloud-based processes that the work we do comes in on-time and on-budget, with you in the loop at all times.
We offer ongoing support to our clients with a number of maintenance & security packages and employ an intuitive help-desk where we track all support requests and report on effort and time tracked.
We've worked with companies, associations, charities and startups worldwide since 1998, supplying consultancy, design, web development, search engine optimisation, social media strategy and support to our lovely and varied customer base.
We are particularly well-known for our custom open source development, including Joomla, Wordpress and Drupal, and we work especially well with the finance and publishing sectors as well as with clients who require multiple projects each year.
We are a full service agency. Since we can implement the absolute most appropriate platform for your project and budget, without any ties to particular systems, platforms or affiliations, the list of what we can do could go on for a long time!
A couple of things we definitely don’t do or encourage is the use of Flash or the over-reliance on PDF downloads (thinking of you, restaurant owners!).
Everything we produce for our loyal customers is done for them; join their happy throng and you will own your code, your designs and layouts, we never hold anyone ransom over anything and always play fair and honest - we’ve been doing this too long to risk our reputation for anything.
We employ a really good team, and we mean really good - we’re all very experienced in our field and are not afraid to test new tools to ensure that you receive the best possible results and service along the way.
We use high-performance dedicated servers and use cloud-based systems for our internal processes to ensure our whole team and yours are always privy to the progress and plans.
Most people think that when advertising a company you need to get the person to like your brand.
The really important thing is not that however, it is to make your brand different. Things could go viral before the internet existed.
That happens when something is remarkable. When something forces you to remark on it, by definition it is remarkable.
We also do graphic design and branding.
Finding a design agency in London can bring up a dizzying number of results.
Included in your results will be a selection of directories which charge for listing, and do not usually vet based on quality alone.
Rest assured that with us having been around the block a few hundred times our designers know how to work with an in house development and project management team.
This means we offer you designs which are not just beautiful, but incredibly realistic and functional, with considerations for converting visitors to your search engine optimisation landing pages into new customers and subscribers.
In short, our designers work so well with our development team that designs from 3B have already been run past the development team which can give you immediate insights into the path of least resistance with regards to your product build, without compromising on user experience or design consistency when on a tight deadline.

Digital Marketing for E-commerce (online retail)
If you are an online retailer looking to expand your online sales channels, we may just be the perfect agency for you. When it comes to e-commerce digital marketing, the details and the strategy are important. Keep reading and you will find out how we at 3B prioritise and use digital tools to drive e-commerce conversion growth and improve your digital presence.
Page Speed Optimisation
Reducing the time it takes to load a page on your website, without altering the content, is called page speed optimisation. Faster pages rank higher in Google's search results pages, and convert more customers. Both of these are known facts, well documented by Google, Walmart, the BBC, and Amazon.
Marketing Strategy
Marketing strategy is synonymous with the idea of a powerpoint presentation and several bored suited colleagues. That's not how we think of it at 3B. Creating an agile marketing strategy would be time well spent.
SQUARESPACE / BROCHURE SITES
Design
WE OFFER FULLY FEATURED SQUARESPACE SUBSCRIPTION WEBSITES AT AFFORDABLE MONTHLY FEES - TAKE A LOOK!
WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT THE SIMPLE FACT IS THAT NO ONE CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (CMS) FITS EVERY CONCEIVABLE CLIENT REQUIREMENT, BUT NEVERTHELESS THE VAST MAJORITY OF THOSE AVAILABLE – OFF-THE-SHELF OR OPEN SOURCE – ARE LOADED WITH FAR MORE FUNCTIONALITY THAN MOST CLIENTS ARE EVER LIKELY TO NEED.
This of course adds bloat to both the project lifecycle and cost and so for a long time 3B were actively looking for a simple, elegant, rapid-fire and cost-effective CMS that we could exploit for the many instances where enterprise level platforms were just not appropriate.
What we needed was a beautiful & lean CMS upon which we could deliver “brochure sites” quickly & cost effectively.
Our lead developer brought Squarespace to our attention – a beautifully configured (but thankfully not hugely configurable) cloud-based CMS that has proved revelatory to both us as well as the many clients already benefiting from it.
