Exsite Consultants Ltd

Advise

Maybe you've had an idea, maybe you want to try something out or just want a chat to understand if your idea is feasible or bonkers.

Alternatively, you know you need to build something but not sure how to organise your project or what technology to use. Exsite can advise on approaches and provide technical guidance with regards to what services to use or how to architect your application.

Prototype

You might have an idea, but you're not a "techy". Exsite can create a prototype before you commit the time and money needed to build the real thing.

A prototype can take the form of sketches, a slideshow or a very basic version of your service. Prototyping tests your ideas and allows you to put something in front of users early. Your users become part of the process instead of having a new application dumped on them at the end that doesn't take advantage of their experience or meet their needs.

Build

You know what you want to build but need help building it. Exsite has experience developing solid reliable services that work, backed by tests and monitoring tools that let you know if your application needs attention before your users tell you.

Exsite will help pick the best solution, using a reputable cloud ecommerce platform or a bespoke service that can safely and securely serve your users.

Who are we?

This all sounds well and good but who are we? Exsite is a small consultancy based in the UK. We have experience building and running online services for a range of clients from small startups to government departments and UK mobile telecom operators.

Exsite has been building web applications since the web started; the first site was the very first travel website built around 1995 for Thomson Holidays and not long after that we built the first website for Hotel Chocolat.

In 2002/2002 Exsite was involved in the development of the first 3G mobile messaging platform for Three UK and had the honour of sending the very first 3G email. Other notable work has included the creation of a prototype for a search-based Sky TV set top box which was built on a raspberry pi and demonstrated to the Sky board which lead to the development of search on all set top boxes.

More recent work has involved building services for government departments such as the Ministry of Justice, Department of International Trade and other branches of UK government. This work has included public facing services, internal tools and prototyping future ideas.
