Website design

We can support your entire design process, from new brand definition to website page and interaction design.

Once we have settled on a brand and UX that you are happy with, we are adept at bringing that to life in a way that is visually engaging, on-brand, usable and accessible.

Development

We focus on Drupal, but do work with other Open Source platforms.  In all our development projects we have a few principles that we always adhere to:

  • Deliver high quality, standards-driven code that is as easy to maintain as possible
  • As little customisation on Drupal modules as possible
  • Tailor the technical solution to the specific requirements of each client
  • Always consider the content editing experience, not just the end-user experience
  • Always deliver accessible code, WCAG AA minimum
  • All code and admin functions have to be as secure as possible
  • Use DevOps techniques to manage rapid deployments

Drupal hosting

Security and efficiency of the development process are crucial to all our clients, a professional hosting partner is key to this.  Most of our sites are hosted with Platform.sh, with them as our partner we can offer:

  • Enterprise level security
  • Multiple environments (Dev, Stage and Production)
  • 24/7 support on the platform
  • Free TLS site encryption
  • Rapid deployment with no downtime
  • Speed enhancing tools such as CDN if required

We augment the Platform.sh solution with our own website monitoring, automated TLS certificate renewal and automated database backups.

This is an enterprise-level solution offered at a very reasonable price that meets the needs of most organisations but it can be enhanced further as required.

Accessible as standard

 

Accessibility as standard

Everything we do, from defining the UX, through design, development and optimisation has an accessibility lens shone on it, as standard.  

We strive to meet WCAG AA and have a number of tools and techniques to help with this, including:

  • Automated code checks
  • Colour contrast ratio checks
  • Tabbed navigation checks
  • Screen-reader compatibility checks

This is never a ‘finished’ task, it is something we are constantly monitoring and adjusting on all our sites.

I would recommend Walden O'Neill to any organisation.

From the beginning, they listened to our requirements and helped shape our ideas into workable, technical solutions. Their agile approach to project management enabled us to stay in control of our project and flexed with us as the project grew and developed.

They have a fantastic dev team who mix common sense with technical skill and the results have been exceptional.
Alex Hale

I have been extremely impressed with Walden O'Neill's energy, professionalism and skill in the delivery of the perioperative nurse recruitment campaign and it really has highlighted that there is another way to manage our recruitment process.
 
The campaign, website and our new internal approach have been recognised throughout the trust as a fantastic example of how the recruitment process can be managed and we are looking forward to building on our success with similar campaigns for new roles in the near future.
