Nine Four

Nine Four works out of Newbury, Berkshire, serving businesses across Newbury, Hungerford and Thatcham, with over 20 years in the design industry behind its website design, development and eCommerce work. The agency builds bespoke, responsive sites intended to capture a client's brand and guide users through it naturally, treating on-page organic SEO as a starting principle for every build rather than an afterthought.

ExpressionEngine CMS is the agency's preferred platform, though the team also works in Craft CMS, Squarespace and Shopify depending on the project. For eCommerce builds, sites are connected to payment gateways including Stripe, PayPal and SagePay. Branding sits alongside the web work, with visual identity developed to communicate a client's values before design and development begin, and content management set up so clients can run their own sites after launch.

Past projects show the range of this work: branding and a website for artist Tracey Hayden, a branding and web project for James-Young Kitchens & Interiors, and combined branding, photography and website design for B Side Barbers & Records. For illustrator Simon Murray, the agency built the Icky Doo Dah website with character animations, while UK furniture provider Design & Contracts Interiors received a mobile-friendly design refresh of its existing site.
