We're not big but we are clever!
We've flipped the traditional agency model. No account managers. Just a lean, high-performance team that can deliver on a 24 hour deployment cycle when needed.
Origins & evolution.
Crouch End Media began over 20 years ago when we were selected as an approved supplier for a European Regional Development Fund backed scheme to deliver professional web design to small enterprises across the UK. That contract helped us build websites for a host of small businesses and shaped our SME-first approach.
We were early adopters of semantic coding and accessibility standards, launched the first dyslexic-friendly website, embraced responsive design before major frameworks existed, and championed WordPress as our CMS platform.
From our roots in North London, we've grown to work with clients across the UK and internationally, and team members based in UK, Bulgaria, UAE and Spain.
"You can do big things with small teams, but it's hard to do small things with big teams."
Simple principles drive efficiency.
We're commercially focused and hard to offend – we'll consider any legitimate project regardless of industry or subject matter.
No middlemen.
You talk directly to the people building your site. No account managers means nothing gets lost in translation and decisions happen fast.
Fast & lightweight.
We write clean, semantic code that loads instantly and ranks well on Google. We don't rely on bloated themes that slow you down.
AI-first.
We leverage the latest AI tools to code, write, and design faster. This efficiency keeps your costs down while maintaining quality.
"Our heart lies with start-ups and SMEs."
While we've worked with larger corporates like Incisive Media, London Textile Fair, and Smart Rail, we specialise in helping small businesses get found and grow online – we understand your pain points and know what works.
