Black Gourd is what happens when you let creative people run wild with technology. Based in the UK but causing chaos globally, we build digital experiences that make your competitors cry and your customers click.
We're known for
- Making words sound good (copywriting)
- Websites that don't break on phones (responsive design)
- Helping businesses take your money online (ecommerce)
The cold hard truth about us
(Spoiler: we're actually pretty warm)
We could say things like "We're a global multidisciplinary agency leveraging synergistic solutions" but we'd rather stick forks into our eyes (hopefully not).
Here's what we actually do: we build stuff that works, looks good and makes your customers happy. Revolutionary, we know.
Why Black Gourd is different
(Apart from the questionable sense of humour, if you can even call it that)
We're obsessed with details
Not in a creepy way. More like that friend who lovingly reorganises your spice rack alphabetically when you're not looking.
We listen. Like, actually listen
It turns out understanding what the people we work with want leads to better results. Who could have known?.
We (mostly) don't do cookie cutter
Template websites are like cargo shorts - just because you can doesn't mean you should (unless you absolutely have to).
We're surprisingly professional
Despite what you may have read (so far on this website), we clean up nice for client meetings and presentations. We even wear pants (usually).
Our clients
We've worked with companies big and small, smart and... less smart. What they all have in common? They trusted us not to mess it up. Mostly, we didn't.
We're pathologically incapable of doing mediocre work. Maybe it's a disorder. Maybe it's because we actually give a damn. Either way, you win.
Whether we're crafting your brand identity or building a website that doesn't look like it's from 2005, we treat every project like it's our own digital baby. Except we don't post monthly photos of it on Instagram. Unless you want us to.
Let's work together
(If you've read this far, you're our kind of people)
We promise to give you outstanding solutions, going above and beyond to surpass your expectations and support you in reaching your goals. And we'll do it without using phrases like "synergistic optimisation" or "paradigm shift".
