Graphic Designer.

Conobe is a collaboration between a passionate senior full-stack web developer and a graphic designer, both experienced in working on projects of all sizes, ranging from web development to native mobile applications. With a particular focus on Laravel and WordPress for web solutions, we handle all aspects of back-end and front-end development. Furthermore, we possess the expertise to develop high-quality iOS and Android applications.

A core tenet of our mission is to build long-term client relationships based on trust. As development specialists, we consistently deliver work of the highest caliber, a commitment that has been instrumental in achieving this since 2008. Leveraging our extensive experience, we build business-driven, lightweight, and secure systems with a strong emphasis on performance, accessibility, and user-friendliness.

For custom development, our preferred choice is the TALL stack (Tailwind CSS, Alpine.js, Laravel, and Livewire). This powerful combination allows us to deliver excellent value for money. Additionally, we utilize the latest frameworks and best practices to create robust and user-friendly native applications for both iOS and Android platforms.

Services

What Conobe can offer

At Conobe, we work with a diverse range of clients, from startups and SMBs to large multinationals, including both agencies and direct clients.

We bring the same enthusiasm and skillset to every project, regardless of the client's size.

Bespoke Development

The majority of our time is dedicated to working with clients on bespoke builds – it's our niche.

Unlike off-the-shelf products, bespoke development is specifically designed to meet your unique needs and will function precisely as you envision.

With bespoke solutions, there are no compromises – it's exclusively tailored to you!

Laravel Development

Laravel is a robust, secure, and open-source framework that provides an ideal foundation for all custom projects.

We offer bespoke solutions developed within the Laravel ecosystem.

Our experience with Laravel dates back to version 2 in 2011.

WordPress Development

WordPress boasts a user-friendly interface, empowering you to easily manage and update your website content.

We handle all aspects of WordPress development, including custom themes and plugins, ensuring that anyone, regardless of technical expertise, can update their website with ease.

iOS & Android Apps

We can develop mobile applications for both iOS and Android platforms.

Our approach is to create a web-based application that can be accessed via a browser, which we then wrap in a native app shell.

This method allows us to deliver a high-quality product at a fraction of the cost of traditional app development.

Alternatively, if your budget allows, we can also develop native applications using the latest frameworks.

Support & Maintenance

We offer cost-effective ongoing support and maintenance. For WordPress, this includes managing core and plugin updates, addressing bug fixes, and implementing security updates.

For added peace of mind, you can pre-book regular maintenance time to ensure your website remains up-to-date and secure.

E-Commerce

Establishing your online presence and setting up an e-commerce platform can feel like a daunting task.

We can alleviate this stress by offering a solution tailored to your budget, whether that's through WooCommerce on WordPress or a custom-built online store.

We're here to help you take your business to the next level.

Consultancy

With a problem-solving approach and over 17 years of expertise, we offer a comprehensive web consultancy service.

We can produce detailed reports and design the optimal solution to drive your business forward.

Our consultations cover website strategy, user engagement, navigational paths and sitemaps, the UX journey, and content strategy.

Mobile Responsive

You need a website that's super fast, mobile-friendly, and fully responsive, fluidly resizing to provide an optimal viewing experience across all devices – enabling you to capitalize on every lead.

Google prioritizes mobile-first or mobile-friendly websites, so we ensure your site not only looks its best but also maintains a great user experience (UX).

Migrations, Rewrites & Rebuilds

Do you have a website you'd like to move to a new host? We can handle the migration seamlessly. Or perhaps you have a project that isn't performing as expected? We can improve and even rebuild it from the ground up.

This service is also ideal for older, well-functioning legacy projects that need to be rewritten to align with today's web standards.

Process

Developing web applications is a complex process. Recognizing that every project is unique, we believe that close collaboration and a thorough understanding of the client's needs are pivotal in delivering a truly business-driven solution. To achieve this consistently, we employ an orderly and adaptable process for every project, regardless of its scale or complexity.

1.
Initial Brief

Understanding the specific needs of each project is fundamental, as every undertaking is unique.

We will develop a comprehensive plan of action to create the optimal solution and provide you with a free, no-obligation quote.

2.
Build

Once the quote is approved and the deposit payment has been processed, we will commence development on your project.

This will be completed by the agreed-upon deadline outlined in the project brief.

3.
Iteration

Throughout the build, we will provide you with access to our testing domain, giving you the opportunity to provide feedback at various stages.

Our programming code undergoes continuous automated testing, manual testing, and rigorous quality checks.

4.
Launch

Once you're completely satisfied and ready to launch, we will manage the entire 'going live' process.

This includes deploying the codebase to your designated web hosting environment and transferring full control to you.

Work

The types of projects we've completed.

Since 2008, we have worked with clients on a vast range of projects. From School websites, to the motor trade. CRMs to interactive food games and everything in between.

Brochure Style Websites

Over the years, we have developed numerous brochure-style websites, and our preferred Content Management System (CMS) for these projects is WordPress.

We've had the pleasure of creating brochure websites in a variety of niches, including:

  • School Websites - we have worked on over 20 different school websites
  • Fashion and Lifestyle Blogs
  • Finance and Research
  • Motor trade
Content Managment Systems

Whether utilizing a pre-built CMS like WordPress, Craft, or Perch – or a custom Laravel-powered content management system – we can streamline your processes and tailor your CMS to work efficiently for you through automation.

CMS, or content management systems, empower you to take control of all aspects of your website, enabling quick and easy updates to imagery, text content, and videos. We design our websites to be straightforward to maintain and update.

Interactive Configurators, Wizards & Calculators

We have the expertise to develop a wide range of configurators, wizards, custom questionnaires, and calculators.

Our portfolio includes ROI calculators, mortgage rate tools, and bankruptcy and finance calculators. We have also developed several tools that empower our clients' customers to generate their own quotations. By simply entering a few figures or following a guided questionnaire, we enable automation and significantly reduce the time you need to spend on manual quoting.

CRMs

We build CRM (Customer Relationship Management) systems to effectively manage your business data, ultimately fostering growth and leading to a more productive workforce.

We've had the privilege of being involved in launching several custom CRM systems built using the Laravel framework.

Intranet and Extranet

In addition to public-facing websites, we have also developed various internal systems, such as HR management tools, internal CRMs, and platforms for managing business data.

Unlike public websites, intranets and extranets are typically used by company employees, whether they are based in a single office or across multiple locations. Let us help you create your efficient digital workplace.

Directory & Listing Websites

Online directories and listing websites often focus on a single niche.

Online directories we have created include:

  • Social Care Job Platform
  • Child Care and 'Nanny' Platform
  • Teaching Jobs Platform
  • Property and Real Estate
Email Marketing Integration

Through strategically placed contact forms, banners, and CTAs (Call to Actions), we can help you convert leads into business by seamlessly integrating a third-party email marketing platform.

Some of the most popular email marketing platforms our clients request we integrate include Mailchimp, HubSpot, ConvertKit, and Sendinblue.

Third-party API Integration

We can integrate various third-party APIs to enhance the functionality of your web application.

Popular APIs we commonly integrate include Google Maps, Mailchimp, Analytics, Weather services, and Currency Exchange tools.

Regarding payment processing, we have experience working with a wide range of providers, including Stripe, PayPal, GoCardless, TakePayments, GlobalPay, and Google Pay.

Finance and Accounting

Elements commonly incorporated in financial and accounting projects include:

  • Invoice Management
  • Transaction Management (Income, Expenses)
  • Profit and Loss Accounts
  • Balance Sheet
SaaS Applications

SaaS, or Software as a Service, is a popular model for turning your idea into a business by offering your software through a subscription-based service.

Examples of SaaS solutions we have developed include:

  • Interactive School Mock Exam SaaS.
  • Finance and Accounting Tools
  • Helpdesk Ticketing Software
  • Project and Task Management
Social Media

We can help seamlessly integrate your social media branding into your website.

Whether it's adding prominent social media links, automating post updates to your Facebook account, displaying live Twitter feeds, or showcasing your latest Instagram photos, we've got you covered.

As a testament to our expertise, we've even created an open-source PHP Twitter widget, available for download here.
