Our web development services

Bespoke web development

We love nothing more than tailor-making and crafting a bespoke site from the ground up, working closely with you and keeping your business objectives and specific features and functions in mind.

A bespoke site means it's developed uniquely to your parameters. You're fully involved in the development process and we'll conduct in-depth research to create a strategy and understand exactly what your business and your customers need before we start design and development work. Before we go live, we'll set up your bespoke project on our own dedicated staging servers, so together we can make sure that everything is perfect ahead of launch.

Let Ascensor's experts develop and deliver a bespoke website that we're passionate about - and that you and your clients will love.

Ecommerce web development

We've been building dynamic, customisable Ecommerce websites that sit at the heart of the customer journey since 2007. Ecommerce web development is our specialist subject and, quite simply, Ascensor develop sites that make our clients money.

You need an Ecommerce development partner with a proven track record for delivering results. With experience of online retail across many sectors, Ascensor Ecommerce solutions scale as your business evolves, nurturing your visitors and supporting your growth.

We develop professional ecommerce websites that appeal to your target audience to improve conversions, lower your bounce rate and boost online sales. Our websites are fast-loading, search engine-optimised and can easily connect to shopping portals and third-party systems, including ERP and accounting.

Plus, with mobile internet usage now surpassing desktop, if you don't have a mobile-friendly website for your Ecommerce business, you could be missing out on visitors and sales. Our web developers are adept at building responsive sites that look great and work perfectly on all devices.

An Ascensor-developed Ecommerce web site enables your organisation to stand out from the competition, providing a great user experience and a conversion-optimised checkout process that encourages customers to shop with you. From bespoke delivery options to quirky discount code management, our team have the Ecommerce know-how and expertise you're looking for.

Templated website development

Ascensor are pioneers in the template website development space. We recognised that SMEs and start-ups need a quality, professional website to compete but often don't have the same budgets as larger companies. At the budget end of the market and with the rapid rise of WordPress, we found that small business website quality was actually on the decrease, as businesses were buying websites based on cost, not quality. We felt that they could have both.

Our Air Websites concept was born in 2013 to fill the clear void that was emerging. Air Websites are built using the industry-standard WordPress content management system, and our regularly-expanding range of template designs have all been created from scratch by the talented Ascensor development team. Each stylish template can be overlaid with your brand elements such as logos, colours and visuals. They are all mobile responsive, secure and require no technical ability to add or edit pages.

We have a range of packages to get you online and build your business. Let's get your website off the ground!

Brochure website development

Depending on your sector and size, brochure websites can be the best and most cost-effective way of promoting your business and showcasing your products and services. A brochure website is ideal for SMEs who don’t need to make frequent changes to the site and unlike an Ecommerce website, your goods are only displayed, not sold, so customers have to contact you to place an order or book the service. As a key part of our web development services, we've built up years of experience in developing high-quality, professional, affordable brochure websites that showcase who you are and successfully convert visitors into customers.

Booking system development

Our expert team can flawlessly integrate a booking system tailored to your exact specifications into your new site. We never adopt a 'one size fits all' approach to web development and no matter what type of business you run, we will implement the right booking software solution to meet your unique requirements. All our systems are fully GDPR compliant and expertly delivered.

WordPress web design & development

Ascensor's WordPress development team have built hundreds of dynamic, easy-to-manage WordPress sites since 2007. From our base in Leeds we use the industry-standard WordPress CMS to create sites that are easy to use, technically first-rate and, importantly, offer outstanding customer experience. Whether you’re an SME or a multi-national enterprise, our developers have built WordPress sites for clients of every size and shape across a huge range of sectors. Let's partner with you!

Liquid CMS

Ascensor have a secret weapon that other web development agencies don't... back in 2009 we took the decision to develop our own lean, bespoke content management system. We're proud of our custom software development capabilities and our product-focused Liquid CMS has evolved significantly in the years since then. Our latest version is fast, intuitive and fully responsive. Ideal for a catalogue-style or Ecommerce site, it's developed using Laravel, the leading PHP framework which offers superior performance when compared to pre-existing systems such as Magento, and strong security features. Liquid CMS doesn't need to be regularly patched, keeping management costs and disruption to a minimum.

SEO best-practice ready websites

Our web development agency experts always work with SEO best practices in mind. We build sites that are designed to boost your business objectives, so your new website will be primed and ready to help you rank on major search engines and attract more site visitors. All Ascensor website designs are SEO best-practice ready, but as a full-service Leeds digital agency, we're also marketing specialists. Great web development and digital marketing go hand-in-hand, and we're here to help your business grow even further with digital marketing services including SEO, PPC, social media, CRO and content marketing.
