Who are we?
Digital Mates is a boutique digital agency, led by designer and
front-end dev Jason Saunders and solid full-stack developer and likeable computer scientist Carl Aiau.
We kicked off our business during the first covid lockdown in 2020 and
continue to work from our kitchen tables. Our remote team of highly talented
individuals jump in as needed on a project by project basis. So you’re
not paying for unnecessary overheads like an office full of staff and a
fancy coffee machine — just the people you need, when you need them.
How we can help.
We help creative clients deliver digital projects – designing and developing websites and apps. We often jump in at the development stage but we'll happily tackle everything from initial wire-framing and lo-fi prototypes to establish the user journey, designing the look of the site and how it responds across key device breakpoints, to the front-end and back-end development — ensuring the slickest, globally distributed end-user experience that is accessible, visible and quick. And design is in our blood, so we have that crucial 'eye' for things.
How we work.
We believe in objectives and outcomes, not processes. Many in our industry have a favourite tech stack and rigidly stick to it for every project, regardless of the specific objectives and requirements. We get it — that’s a pretty comfortable and easy way to work. But we’re different. We tailor the technical solution and use the right tools for the job — whether that’s a super lightweight and performant Wordpress site or a headless CMS with a static site generator, we aim to build sites that are bloat-free, freekin' quick and fit for purpose.
