About Devonto
Devonto designs, develops and manages websites for businesses that want the work considered properly. Based in Cumbernauld, we work with customers across Glasgow, Edinburgh and Scotland.
A website project involves choices about the business as much as the technology. We take time to understand what you offer, what customers need and how the website will be used. That understanding shapes the proposal and the work, with direct communication throughout the project and a continuing relationship after launch.
Get to Know the Business
The Approach Behind Devonto
Devonto has been building websites since 2008. That experience spans straightforward business sites, online shops and more involved development, but the starting point remains a useful conversation. We ask questions, work through the requirements and explain the choices so the project has a clear direction.
You will deal directly with Chris, with continuity between the initial discussion and the work that follows. The emphasis is on understanding the business and giving considered advice. If an idea needs refining, or a simpler option would serve the purpose better, we will explain the reasoning rather than agree to a feature without examining what it needs to achieve.
What You Can Expect
A Considered Way of Working
Understanding Your Business
We start with what your business does, who you want to reach and the questions customers ask. Existing pages and examples of your work help us understand what the website needs to explain and where it can be more useful.
Planning with a Purpose
We discuss the audience, the information they need and the actions the website should support. That gives design and development decisions a business reason and helps establish a clear proposal, with responsibilities and the recommended scope understood before work begins.
Practical Technical Judgement
Existing tools can be useful, and custom work can be appropriate. We assess the requirement and the surrounding systems before recommending how a feature or connection should be delivered, taking account of how it will be used and managed afterwards.
A Familiar Contact After Launch
The relationship continues for websites we build and host. Everyday questions and future requirements can be discussed with someone familiar with the website and the business behind it, whether you need an editing reminder or want to explore a new idea.
Useful Connections Beyond the Website
Some requirements are better served by a trusted specialist in a complementary field.
Where appropriate, Devonto can recommend separate providers for work outside the agreed website project. The recommendation should make the next step clearer, with each business's responsibilities understood. It does not mean their services are delivered in-house or automatically included in your proposal.
For ongoing social media, email campaigns or blog writing, one option is Impact Socials, a separate business run by Chris's wife. That relationship is made clear so you can consider the recommendation on its merits. Website content, technical integrations and campaign delivery can then be discussed with the appropriate provider.
