An inspiring team of people

We’re a close team spread across 3 countries, with a head office in London, and we use various tools like Trello, Slack, and WhatsApp to keep in touch, sharing cat stories, efficiency tips, and design ideas with each other.

We go on at least 2 trips together a year – so far we’ve been to Brighton, The Highlands, Lake Garda (Italy), skiing in France, Bulgaria, Spain, New York, South Africa, Lithuania, Rotterdam and Cyprus. We make time for regular team building activities. We are committed, conscientious, caring and hardworking, and we enjoy the work we do – coding, design and helping clients! And of course, we’re a fun and friendly team!

Take a peek!

Over the last 20 years, I’ve worked with a LOT of different coders and agencies. It’s taken me this long to find an agency I can trust when it comes to WordPress. I vetted them by spending my own money on a project. It went better than expected (and I expect a lot from the people I work with). I was wowed by how fast they worked, and the design was gorgeous!

Rachel CollinsonDonor Whisperer

TLD not only designed my website for one book but have managed to freshen it up for the next book…they keep my online presence smarter and more up to date than I could ever begin to and are constantly thinking of new ways to display my work. Its been a delight to work with the TLD team.

Katharina Wawrzon-StewartUnlocking Words

We knew that if TLD created our new website it would be brilliant, just we hadn’t fully appreciated quite how they’d also capture our personality so perfectly. We now have a website to be proud of, sales enquiries have doubled and it’s not over yet. TLD have made it so user friendly and easy to update with WordPress that there’s still more to come.

WendySnowbizz

TLD have a very high standard of work and, of course, use some of the best and approachable people. Above all their attention to detail and ability to help companies look for real value in their website is their strength

Enormous thank you to the team of little stars! We were recommended to Keren by a travel colleague and after just one session we could see why. Keren immediately understood us – even if we didn’t understand ourselves! The result was a subtle, friendly social media campaign which our guests love and is the envy of our larger competitors.

Really impressed with TLD’s knowledge, ideas and their processes. Like most business owners, I have to get GOOD VALUE & MEASURABLE IMPROVEMENTS from consultants and suppliers, before I recommend them. TLD are delivering both for We Clear Junk!
