We design and develop attractive websites with a strong focus on ease of use and visitor satisfaction. Our sites are built using web standards and are accessible to the widest possible audience.
These guys are wonderful, I didn't think I could make my own website but now it's up-and-running and I'm adding to it all the time.

- Building bespoke products to add new tools, content types and functionality to Plone.
- Setting up and/or optimising Zope and Plone on Linux or Windows.

Information Architecture & Usability
Every website needs thought and planning before being developed to make sure that its content is easy to find, navigate and digest. Working out the best structure and layout for a website (the information architecture) is a key part of the design process and at Hobo we always take great care to get this right.
Our knowledge, experience and understanding of what people want and expect from a website helps us to design very easy to use sites that turn visitors into passionate users and loyal customers. There's no substitute for first hand evidence of how people actually use a website so we always test our design ideas with real users to confirm whether or not we're on the right track.
