About Magic Web Solutions
We wanted to structure this page in a form of answers to questions our prospects ask most when enquiring about our services.
So, what do you do – build websites?
In a sense, yes—you can call everything you see in a web browser a ‘web site’ after all. But we’re about so much more too. We’re not simply a ‘web-design’ firm, we mainly deal in more complex web-based solutions for in-house use, online products and services (SaaS ‘software as a service’) or public-facing portals and social networking web sites. With this in mind, it might be easier to think of us as ‘software development’ specialists. In technical terms, we build custom web-based software applications.
Tell me more about your company and how it works
Magic Web was established in 1999 with the aim of providing the UK market with access to some of Europe’s top programming talent.
With Magic Web you get the best of both worlds – local account and project management, branding and design services and access to a highly experienced and affordable offshore software development team.
Why do we choose to source our talent overseas? It’s simple – our purchasing power allows us to leverage the best and most efficient programmers available, a saving which is passed on directly to our UK clients.
We typically serve 20 to 30 clients a year running one or several projects for each. Most of our business comes from repeat orders from existing clients.
What should I expect when working with Magic Web Solutions?
You can trust us to be open and realistic about technologies, scope, risks and budgets. We don’t believe in mystifying what we do. You can expect us to be committed to clear communications from our first discussion to the final installation and support stages. Read more about principles we follow and how we work.
We are a flexible, customer friendly company with an aim to add measurable value to your business. We respond to differing needs with a financial flexibility that makes us an attractive business proposition.
Our glowing client references and level of repeat business should provide ample assurance that we can deliver above and beyond even the most demanding expectations.
What size is your typical project?
We prefer not to place limitations or constraints on our service. Our past/present clients range from SME’s through to large corporations with an international presence. We are typically suited to projects requiring a small, focused development team – an environment where we are uniquely placed to outclass the competition in terms of productivity, responsiveness and performance. Whilst we are a relatively small company, our pool of premium talent allows us to work more efficiently, which in turn enables us to develop complex and demanding applications which may present a problem for even the largest of software development firms.
How do you work?
Whilst we employ a systematic approach to all our projects, we also appreciate the need to foster a dynamic environment through which new and exciting ideas can flourish. Dependent on the task at hand, we will often use a mix of Agile and formal development practices – encouraging client interaction throughout the process both to promote creativity and solve problems efficiently. Read more about how we work.
What information do you need from me to get started?
Unlike many software development specialists we won’t ask you for a 20 page project brief – we’re pretty good at getting a feel for what our clients are looking for within a short period of time. And we are always happy to help you wiht consept development, requirenments gathering preparing technical specificaitons and other documents. All you need to do is to contact us to discuss your project!
