Digital presences that engage and convert. So much more than just a nice design, your website should be an effective business tool designed around your goals to maximise return on investment.
Launching a new product or start-up, moving into a new sector, diversifying your customer base, raising investment, capturing email sign-ups, targeting referrals, increasing online spend, boosting repurchase rates, re-branding, or updating an old website. With so many options it’s essential to design your user journey and website to suit the real underlying goals that you and your team are working towards.
Memorable websites that convert and stand the test of time
Every project with Tropic begins with a deep dive into your business with our strategist to make sure everyone is clear on what you want to achieve. We’ll then create a project brief with you that we know can deliver on those goals. Our senior UX and visual designers then get stuck in before moving into the development, or build phase where everything comes to life.
You’ll always own everything we build, but we’re happy to manage the website for you. A low cost way to get peace of mind that it’s always up to date, secure and looking great.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who owns the website once it’s built?
As soon as you pay the final balance payment, we transfer all copyright and ownership over to you. We’re always available to host or manage the site for you, but you will technically own it and can add or remove our access at any stage.
What if we need more amends than planned?
Not a problem. This happens quite often as a project progresses and you have new ideas or thoughts. Speak to us and we’ll give you a quick quote for the added round of amends. We’ll also let you know how this impacts the timeline, if at all, so you can stay in control.
Is copy included? What about images?
Absolutely, we can provide website copy & imagery as part of your project, keeping things on track and in one streamlined process. These two elements often take much longer than clients expect, so we tend to suggest included this service at the outset.
Will I be able to check on progress?
Yes, you can always speak to us to discuss how your project is coming along. We don’t just offer that, we actually enjoy it and think it’s a great way to explore new ideas and solve challenges. We’ll also give you a timeline of work and pre-plan feedback sessions with you at the start of your project. We work with you, not just for you.
What platforms do you build websites on?
We build websites on Wordpress, Webflow and Shopify. Together these platforms power the vast majority of all websites across the globe. We’ll discuss your options and help you decide which is best for you before we start the project.
Will I be able to update the website once it’s live?
We strongly believe in building websites that are easy to use and manage. We’ll give you a training session and create some how-to videos for common changes you’ll want to make. Not sure you’ve got the time to manage it ongoing - we also offer website management for precisely those situations.
When do I have to pay?
Once we’ve spoken with you and created a detailed brief, we take a deposit payment of 40% to schedule the work in. The balance payment is paid once the website is complete and prior to going live.
Several times a year we also work on projects with cash strapped startups and charities that we share values with. In these cases we also offer reduced rates and payment plans.
Will my website by fast and secure?
In short, yes. Our hosting service is optimised for the platforms we use (Wordpress, Webflow or Shopify) and built with the security measures, meaning that your site will run smoothly day and night. Our hosting is also fully powered by renewable energy sources!
I already have a website. How do you transfer things from one to the other?
There’s a few ways we can migrate data from your current website to a new one. We’ll let you know which method we recommend based on your current setup, but all options are straightforward and take into consideration your SEO and google rankings.
Will my new site rank highly on Google?
We optimise every website to perform well with search engines such as Google. We can also perform competitor and keyword research to optimise the copy and imagery on specific pages. When we launch, we notify Google that there’s a new site in town and they then do their own analysis and start to show you in search results.
