We don’t just build you a bespoke website, application or integration – we build you a bespoke team to do it. That’s where we get our name from. Brigada is Spanish for squad, team or unit.
We form the perfect team of local experts to work on your individual project; specialists in design, photography, video, copywriting, and marketing. Matched with our architecture, strategy and programming expertise.
That means you get a team whose strengths are matched to your business. And with one point of contact and one invoice, it’s just as easy for you.
That’s us. That’s Brigada.
What We Do
We build bespoke websites, ecommerce stores and applications that help your business get the most out of its digital investment. We have an eye for detail and a willingness to do whatever is necessary to get the best result for your business.
Content Management Systems
For bespoke websites, the best choice for most companies should be WordPress. It’s the most well-known and supported CMS, and its powerful block-based page editor allows your marketing team to stay productive.
Statamic with its simple and intuitive content editing experience is another fast, secure, and highly customizable CMS that supports multilingual websites. Built on the Laravel framework it easily integrates with custom applications and complex business needs.
For larger clients with a technical team dedicated to marketing, Contentful is a strong choice due to its flexibility and scalability. It allows content to be managed across channels, streamlines content reviews and collaboration, making workflows efficient for large teams.
Integrations
Modern websites shouldn’t be information silos. We can help integrate AI tools and automate your business systems. We have experience integrating accounting, shipping, and logistics systems across various platforms.
Ecommerce
Our first project was an ecommerce store. Over two decades later, we’ve built many more for satisfied business owners. We work with Shopify and WooCommerce matching the platform to client’s business needs, and are experienced integrating a range of payment, shipping and inventory systems.
Applications
We use the Laravel framework to develop custom applications and dynamic websites. These can include backend data management tools, museum kiosks and information displays, APIs, and workflow software for integrating systems.
CRM, SEO
& Marketing
A great website is just the beginning; we can integrate it with your marketing and customer relationship management tools, linking customer information between the platforms.
We have experience with SEO and the latest AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) and LLM SEO techniques and best practices. We also collaborate with experienced SEO and marketing firms to support your site copy and social media marketing efforts.
Hosting
We offer hosting services and domain name registration for the websites we create as part of an end-to-end solution. The hosting platform is monitored continuously, includes automated backups and vulnerability scanning, so your business is carefully looked after well beyond site completion.
Technology Consulting
We offer consulting on various website and web application technologies, including business requirements documentation and platform selection.
