We're a boutique creative digital agency in the centre of Bristol. We use technology and design to transform businesses and delight users. 

Evolve, not replace. We're down-to-earth technology consultants that provide transparent and affordable processes. We're sensitive to the challenges of big internal changes and we can help bring the rest of the team on board. 

We help our clients through digital transformation without requiring them to start again from scratch. We understand that it's crucial to integrate with your existing business systems and processes in order to minimise risk. 

We're willing to fearlessly step into the unknown. Research & Development is a key part of client projects as well as our own internal projects and hackathons. Sometimes a prototype or proof-of-concept is all that's needed to coax an organisation in a completely new direction. 

We are an award winning creative agency.  Every project is different, so we often break the process up into smaller sprints which allows us to stay flexible in our approach.

We treat projects as collaborations with you and make sure you’re always part of the process. 

Every project is unique so we’ve built a set of tools and sub-processes that we employ efficiently for each situation.

We believe in original thinking, clear communication and simple action. Working closely with you to inspire, guide, create and grow your ideas.

We're down-to-earth Creative Technology consultants with industry-leading experience. Our multi-disciplined team provides transparent and affordable processes that help your business thrive.

Our Vision

Some businesses are created to have a specific social or environmental impact. They exist to do good in the world - so it’s easy to see how and why they make a difference.

But what about all the other businesses, who don’t exist exclusively for social good but who still think it matters? How can we run ethical, sustainable businesses in any industry?

That’s where Gravitywell comes in.

We aim to support all tech businesses - no matter their industry - to grow sustainably and keep impact at the heart of success.

Purpose

We build tech startups.

And that could be all that we do. But Gravitywell is made up of people who care about protecting the planet, making an impact and giving back to our local communities.

We're surfers, hikers, plant-lovers and more - so we want our work to reflect what matters to us.

People

We don't do bureaucracy.

Instead, we do our best to work in the same ways that we live the rest of our lives - having fun, sticking to our morals and giving back where we can.

We're all individuals, and we encourage everyone to ask questions and bring their own perspective to the job. After all, it's our differences that make it interesting to work together!

From camping trips and hackathons in Spain to after-work beers and summer parties, we're a friendly bunch - but we also recognise the opportunities we have to do good.

Planet

Whereas we can see the plastic packaging in landfill or sewage on our beaches, it can be hard to visualise the impact of the technology we buy, use or build.

But data centres - physical buildings where data is stored and processed - are expected to contribute 3.2% of the worldwide carbon emissions by 2025. And electronics contain rare earth materials which are energy-intensive to source and near-impossible to recycle. Buying, using and disposing of technology has more of an impact than it might seem.

One of the more insidious things about the impact of technology is that it’s not clear who’s responsible for it. The manufacturer who designs phones to break, or the phone network that sells an upgrade every year? The companies who own the data centres, the businesses that pay to use them, or even the users who cause the internet traffic?

It’s a tough question to answer, but the simplest answer is: all of them. In our own way, we all have some part to play in improving the environmental impact of technology, whether it’s by being more conscious consumers, writing more efficient software, or by pushing suppliers to make greener tech a priority.

As a company who use, design and build technology, we have a lot of opportunities to think about our ways of working and how they affect the environment. Below are a number of the things we do to reduce our impact - both for us and our clients.

We’ve taken some prompts from these Principles of Green Software Engineering.
