The Brief
Laravel has become a growing part of our work over the last few years, from data platforms and booking systems to taking over established applications from other agencies. Until now, though, it shared space on our main website with everything else we do.
We wanted a dedicated home for it: a site aimed squarely at organisations looking for a Laravel partner, speaking directly to what they need.
As with Opworks, we scoped, designed and built the site ourselves, so we were our own client for this one.
What we did
esx.dev is a single, focused page that tells the whole story in one place: the kinds of Laravel applications we build, how we work, examples of past projects, what our clients say about us, and honest answers to common questions, including what a project typically costs.
Everything on the page is designed to make getting in touch as easy as possible. Visitors can book a consultation straight from Michael’s live calendar, or send an enquiry through a short three-step form, without ever leaving the page.
The site is also optimised for conversion tracking, so we can see where discovery call bookings and enquiries come from and focus our efforts where they work best.

Our approach
A proven process tailored to this project's unique requirements.
Discovery
We start by understanding your goals, audience, and constraints. Through workshops and research, we define the project scope and success criteria.
Strategy & wireframing
We map out the user journey and information architecture. Low-fidelity wireframes let us test ideas quickly before committing to design.
UX/UI design
Visual design that balances aesthetics with usability. We create interfaces that look great and guide users effortlessly toward their goals.
Development
Clean, well-documented code built on proven frameworks. We develop iteratively, sharing progress regularly so you're never in the dark.
Quality assurance & launch
Applications and integration-heavy builds ship with automated test suites, and every project is checked across devices and browsers before it goes live. We handle deployment and keep the launch itself uneventful.
Ongoing support
Our relationship doesn't end at launch. We provide proactive maintenance, security updates, and responsive support to keep your product thriving.
