igoo was formed in 2004 and is based in Liverpool, England. We moved to our current offices in the Allerton area of Liverpool in 2006 after spending our first few years in Seel Street, Liverpool 1.

Directors Gavin Homan and Ben Waldron both graduated from the University of Liverpool with honours degrees in E-Business. With a wealth of experience, both founders have been developing websites since 1999, always ensuring that they stay at the forefront of emerging technologies and practices. igoo has built up an impressive portfolio of websites ranging from International Charities, Recruitment agencies, Local councils and Large E-commerce Retailers

Our team currently consists of 4 members. Other than Senior Developers Ben and Gavin, there is Jack Donnelly – our graphic design guru, and our most recent addition to the team Matt Stopforth – our junior website developer and resident ideas machine.

We are an open, honest company and when you call our office, you will be speaking to someone who will actually be a part of your project. We enjoy open communication with our clients and are always quick to respond to queries. We love what we do and are always up-to-date with the latest technologies and techniques. Because all of our staff are internet professionals we do not need a sales team to win you over. Our staff walk, talk and breathe web design and can work with you to get the best results for you, your company and your customers.

Our Core Philosophies

• Keep it simple. The web is a vast place in a state on constant transition. Simplify your message and goal. Make it readable, useable, clear and attractive.
• People come first – even the smallest gesture can make the biggest difference.
• collaborative problem solving.
• cost-effective results.
• Design constructs a visual language for the purpose of communication. It organises and gives form to a message in a way that adds value and meaning. It functions to organise, clarify, persuade, and add drama to something otherwise overlooked. Design plays a primary role in the interpretation of a message.
• standards-compliant web design.
• Typography, colour, form, balance, alignment, contrast, texture. igoo is passionate about these things, and goes to great lengths to create beauty with them. We are constantly in search for the perfect balance between form and fuction for every project.

How Will we help you?

igoo brings the most recent development in technology, best practice, standards and enterprising solutions to the market. This is essential for new and existing businesses. New customers to the web can expect the best service available and will benefit by using the leading edge solutions.

Existing businesses on the Web will benefit from the latest standards and practices essential to ensure maximum penetration and usability for a wider population. As rapid are the developments in technology the greater the need to upgrade or rejuvenate the web sites once seen as pioneers. A web page developed 5 years ago will not meet current best practice and will lack features that are now standard. This represents lost opportunity whatever the business or organisation.

How we work

Each project has it own dedicated Project Manager who is directly responsible for the successful delivery of work packages. All of our project managers work passionately with our clients through every step of the development lifecycle. This gives us a unique ability to deliver leading edge solutions through a measured, risk-averse process.

End Results

igoo is built on a foundation of web standards-valid, structured code to produce pages that will look great on modern browsers yet still functional and usable on older ones. Utilising web standards leads to real results:

• Decreased bandwidth and server space
• Improved accessibility to all browsers and devices (including those with disabilities)
• Increased separation of presentation layer code from content
• Simplified updating of look and feel
• Faster page loading
• Lower costs
