We love Statamic so much that we became official partners
What’s The Time? Statamic Time
A modern and increasingly popular CMS (certainly amongst switched-on web developers and content managers), Statamic’s unique approach to web development and content management offers an elegant blend of simplicity and a treasure trove of capabilities.
And it creates beautiful, easy-to-manage, easy-to-maintain websites that developers AND businesses love.
1994?
We love Statamic too - it’s why we partner with them.
A little Statamic background
Founded in 2012 by developers frustrated with the complexities of creating, managing and maintaining websites in a clunky CMS, Statamic was developed as a CMS of the future to set content free from databases and make it available in easily editable flat files.
Built on the open-source PHP framework Laravel, Statamic’s flat-file architecture offers radically simpler version control, migration and deployment. A rapid, super-scalable CMS.
Though WordPress has a larger ecosystem and wider adoption, Statamic's improved flexibility, performance, and ease of use make it a compelling choice for big brands, SMEs, local businesses and bootstrappers alike.
With over 30k registered developers, a growing partner network (that we’re proud to be part of) and a flourishing reputation, it’s all systems go on planet Statamic.
9 Great Reasons Why Statamic Has Become Our Go-To CMS
Improved Performance and Security - Statamic's flat-file architecture delivers lightning-fast web page load times. It’s also less resource-intensive than database-driven CMSs like WordPress.
Developer-Friendly - Your developers will almost certainly use PHP. They may well already be familiar with Laravel. Widely adopted and widely acclaimed there’s no better way to develop the innovative web tools your business needs.
Seamless Version Control and Collaboration - Simplified site-wide version control, including content radically improves team collaboration.
Flexible Without Plugin Bloat - Create custom content types without relying on plugins and reduce the risk of conflicts or security issues from third-party add-ons.
Clean, Maintainable Code - With less accumulated ‘technical debt’ from outdated plugins or themes, your site is easier and cheaper to maintain and update.
User-Friendly Content Management - An intuitive admin panel with flexible content modelling means easy content creation and management and a happier, more productive content team.
Scalable and Integratable - The more your content grows the more Statamic flexes to maintain performance. Statamic also works well with modern front-end technologies such as Vue JS.
Single, Simple Licensing - Statamic's one-time purchase low annual update fee means no nasty cost surprises down the line.
Less Reliance on Specialist Support - From development to content updates, Statamic’s streamlined workflows mean even non-technical team members can handle more tasks with all the cost and efficiency benefits.
“A radical approach to content management,” says sassy, classy Statamic.
Radical? We just call it sensible.
Why let an old-fashioned CMS force you to make painful compromises?
Why let a beautifully designed site end up looking little like it should?
And why make workflows and content management over complicated or unwieldy?
In fact, why use anything else when you can use Statamic - a modern, secure, flexible CMS ready to grow with your business and deliver all the performance, customisation, and user-friendliness you want for the website you really need?
Experienced and expert in Statamic consultation, development and support - we can't get enough of it.
You’ll love it too.
But not as much as the many ways it will help you run a smarter, more successful business.
What’s the time?
It’s Statamic time.

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."

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.
