The best of everything
Show me moreGoogle apps
We hook up every site we build to Google Apps, giving you the freedom to manage your own branded email accounts through Google’s powerful (and ultra reliable) Gmail interface.
Quick loading
By utilising the latest Content Delivery Networks (CDN) we can ensure your sites load as quickly as possibly no matter where they are viewed from - no one should have to wait.
Copywriting
Good content is arguably the single most important factor of any web site and at Primate we work with copywriting specialists to help craft the most potent and effective copy possible.
Social networking
Social networking strategies - such as growing your Twitter user base or creating innovative Facebook apps - can be hugely beneficial in growing your marketing base.
Intelligent code
Using Ruby on Rails, the framework behind sites like Twitter and Hulu, we can develop powerful functionality in half the time.
Cloud hosting
All of our sites and apps are built on top of cloud hosting technology meaning that they can soak up huge spikes of traffic effortlessly and never come down. Ever.
Content made easy
Our custom built Content Management System (CMS) is designed specifically with the user in mind making irritating and complex content updates a thing of the past.
3rd party technology
We love third party technology and part of our ethos and approach to work is to embrace it to its fullest whenever possible. After all, why reinvent the wheel?
Online font library
Trusted by sites like New York Times and Last.fm, Typekit brings a whole new dimension to online typography and lets us create beautiful and stunning products.
Web apps
We love building anything related to the web whether that be bespoke sites, complex large scale applications or powerful Facebook apps.
Photography & illustration
Stunning photography and illustrations can say more than a thousand words, helping to convey the perfect brand or sell any product or service.
