Sprucemoose Digital like to make websites.
The name is borrowed from The Simpsons episode where $pringfield legalizes gambling.
Every website I make is handcoded, fully responsive, and custom created from scratch. I use an open-source content management system that allows me to work the way I want to, with no compromise in design or quality.
Take a look around, if you like what you see - let me know about it!
This is the bit where I talk about all the services I offer.
MY main skillset is creating fresh, modern websites. I take some pride in handcoding these sites, I have to admit to a bit of an aversion to the sitebuilders and blogging platforms which create so many of today's websites. That's not to say I can't deal with other platforms if required - I just prefer my way of doing things.
I use Couch CMS as the backend of our sites, this lets me get on with building your site without worrying about fitting it into a CMS platform. Couch can be retrofitted into any site, and is very flexible, allowing me to create your site exactly as it was designed, and you to administer it easily once it goes live.
I'm not restricted to brochure based sites, just tell us your idea/requirements and I'll come up with a solution. I've developed complex booking systems, call logging systems, corporate design toolkits, ecommerce solutions, social education applications.
It's not all about coding and designing - every site I build will have a robust on-page SEO foundation. I wouldn't claim to be an SEO expert (although I know some if required), but I've had good results using my methods.

This is possibly the most ambitious site I have created. The site owner estimates that once he has finished uploading his stock, there will be upwards of 10,000 books on the site. Obviously this had ramifications for the way I developed the site, and for the server once it was…

Iain Matheson
Iain is a composer based in Edinburgh. One of the first sites I ever built was his original site, back in 2007. 12 years ago! I've moved on a bit since then. Iain wanted a minimal site, no real flourishes. The main challenge I set muself was creating the events…
