Turtlereality came up trumps with a comprehensive site perfectly tailored for our needs. They respond quickly and efficiently and everything is explained in simple easy to understand language. There is no 'sales talk' and often we are contacted with suggestions for improvements which are for our benefit, not theirs.
About Us
Jon Pollard
During his 3 years at Agency he worked with clients as diverse as British Airways, Boots the Chemist, Grand Theft Auto and the RSPCA with roles including designer, producer and programmer.
Eventually the corporate environment lost its appeal and in 1999 he formed Turtlereality bringing together his all-round skills to help smaller companies.
Lena Eijvergard
Her time is divided between web development, SEO, RealityMail and project management and she will often be the first person you speak to about a project.
Coming into the industry relatively recently she brings a fresh eye to the business and hasn't had to unlearn the bad habits of 10 years ago!
Great Software Communities
We couldn't create the great sites that we make without the tireless un-ceasing work of thousands of volunteers around the globe. The strength and depth of these communities means that the software we use has a life of its own - outside of any centralised agency.
Open source software has really come of age in the last few years and we are proud to say that we use it.
Our Process
Mouse over the list below to see more details
- Define Project ScopeBefore we draw up a detailed quote, we will discuss with you the scope of the project and analyse the functionality required.
- Proposal & SpecificationBased on our discussions we will draw up a proposal and specification for the project.
- Agree SpecificationThe proposal and specification form the basis of our agreement. At this stage we both sign Terms & Conditions and a deposit is requested to signal acceptance to proceed.
- Pre-ProductionThis stage is for large, complex projects that require an in-depth discovery process. This will be quoted for if deemed an integral part of the project.
- Visual Design ProductionWe begin by creating mock-ups of how the site will look. They are presented to you as a static image and form the basis for a collaborative process of discussion and refining until we have a look and feel that lives up to, if not exceeds, your expectations.
- Design Sign-offThe designs have final approval and are signed off before moving on to:
- Site Build & Content PopulationNow is the time that we programme the site and build any databases and content management systems. Running concurrently with the site development we ask you to consider the site text if it hasn't already been submitted. We can then incorporate all the content to the site ready for the next stage.
- Functional TestingThe site will be uploaded to a staging server for you to approve before going live. This is the time for thorough testing to ensure everything is working as it should.
- Live LaunchWhen the site is finished and tested we will transfer the files over to the live server and complete a final round of tests. You are now live on the internet!
- Acceptance TestsOnce the site is live and acceptance tests are complete, the project is signed off and the final invoice sent.
