We specialise in Craft CMS websites that are a joy to use
Content on Your Terms With Craft CMS
If you want to build a world-class online business, you’ll want a world-class content management system (CMS).
You’ll want streamlined workflows, superior user experiences, and the flexibility to shape your content delivery in profitable, high-performing ways - CMS that puts your content first, like Craft CMS.
Especially if you want to sell online.
And the more products, the more pages, the more APIs and integrations you need - the more you’ll want to use Craft CMS and Craft Commerce.
And of course, you’ll need a Craft Partner agency too. An agency like 1994.
Craft CMS is:

Easy to use - so your CMS is a joy to use for content creators and developers alike
Fast and efficient - with rapid loading times and efficient content delivery
Secure - for proactive protection from system vulnerabilities such as data breaches
Value for Money - so every penny invested in your CMS is invested wisely
Supported - boasting a thriving developer community and reliable support resources
Let’s take a closer look:
Craft for Content Creators
At its heart, Craft CMS is designed to empower no-code content creators to manage even the most complex structures. An intuitive interface and clear content representation make it accessible to everyone so that you can get marketing and selling your products and services fast.

In the need for speed, Craft’s efficient caching mechanisms and optimised database queries lead the way. With a laser-guided focus on performance, Craft is proven to lower bounce rates, increase user engagement, and even improve search engine rankings. When it comes to CMS it’s very much a case of ‘go fast, or go home’. Craft goes fantastically fast.
Lock-tight Craft Security
There’s no shortage of protection built into Craft. From regular security updates to CSRF protection, secure password hashing and XSS prevention when it comes to safeguarding your online presence (and reputation) from data breaches, other vulnerabilities and all the associated costs and disruption, Craft has it covered.

Our clients say it best
"The experience of working with 1994 was exemplary. Their attention to detail regarding the deliverables and their level of customer service were second to none. We always felt in the loop on progress. If any challenges presented themselves that even hinted at impacting timescales or our delivery path, 1994 were forthcoming & transparent in what they were and how they intended to deal with them. The process was simply a joy from start to finish."
"1994 were fantastic at explaining what they were doing and why, with full transparency and helpful advice. They completed the project incredibly quickly and the communication was great."
"1994 enabled me to take my business from idea to reality, even when others couldn't. They were incredibly helpful and went the extra mile to deliver a mobile application I am truly proud of, I couldn't recommend working with them enough!"
"The quality of the delivered HTML/CSS components was at a level above our expectations and we were able to launch our new site on our 6th anniversary which would not have been possible without the work from 1994."
"Dan from 1994 listened to our requirements and took on board everything that we asked for. He suggested ideas that he thought would work well for the business and implemented them. He gave a professional and prompt service and we are very happy customers."

How We Do It
Pre-build workshop
We start off with a one day workshop. Here we will make sure that every feature and goal is identified and that we understand how you want the user experience to look and feel. This is your chance to pour all your ideas onto the table (and our chance to geek out about them).
Design
Next we will either collaborate with your designer or kickstart work with our freelance designer (she’s pretty epic) to finalise your design and fill any missing pieces before we begin development.
Build phase
Once we’ve got the website’s flow and core functionality signed off, we can make a start on the really nifty part: turning the designs into a functioning product. We’ll keep in touch with you regularly so you can keep track of the project (and get excited about it).
Post-build walkthrough
Now it’s time to show off our work. During the walkthrough, we will provide a demonstration of the key features. Here we will also chat about implementation and user experience.
User Testing
Next we create a staging environment for you to test and try out your new web application, mobile application or eCommerce site. We’ll be keeping an eye out for any technical issues as they arise so that we can fix them immediately.
Deployment
Finally, it’s time to flip the page on a new chapter. We’ll deploy the new work, ensuring all the t’s are crossed and the i’s are dotted. We’ll be on hand monitoring the application or website over the course of a month for any issues that may crop up so that we can get things back in working order.
