About 56 Degrees

56 Degrees is a London web development studio, established in 2010, that designs, builds and maintains websites and web apps for corporate and SME clients from its office on Great Portland Street. The team works across custom WordPress and WooCommerce as well as bespoke platforms on Laravel and Vue.js, and often partners with creative agencies to turn a design into a working site. It also helps clients cut maintenance costs and take back control of their sites with easier CMS setups, training and ongoing support. Projects include a WordPress migration for The Ivors Academy that simplified a cluttered, plugin-heavy site, and a mobile-optimized website for Lionsback Resort in Moab, Utah, delivered with a design partner on time and on budget.

Who 56 Degrees Is Best For

56 Degrees is best for UK and international corporates, SMEs and design agencies that want a small, long-term web partner to design, build and maintain a custom WordPress, WooCommerce or Laravel site.

Selected Work

The Ivors Academy website

The Ivors Academy

56 Degrees migrated The Ivors Academy, an advocacy organization for songwriters and composers, from a slow site with 49 plugins and a cluttered backend onto a simplified WordPress build. The studio used a three-part approach β€” simplify, streamline and systematize β€” and the client reported stronger community engagement, more new members, higher traffic and more time on site with little extra work for their team.

I'm delighted with the website 56 degrees created for my coaching business, and I'm not easy to please! They are creative and came up with brilliant designs. They are also very easy to work with and go above and beyond to make sure you are happy. They were recommended to me and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone else.
