Area 17 is a full service visual design agency, set up in 1998 to break the internet mould of badly designed, technology obsessed navigational nightmares. Since then our interests, and capabilities have expanded exponentially.
Full service visual design means that we can handle a wide range of projects, from web sites with integrated content management systems to powerpoint presentations for your AGM, to a corporate video, expounding the effectiveness of your customer relations team.
Our accolades include "best practice" acclaim from blue chip clients such as KPMG and a string of extremely satisfied customers.

Reviews
'Area 17 were responsible for the creation and development of our Alumni Microsite where over 5,000 students and alumni of Sotheby's Institute of Art can access careers and event information online. We were keen to find a web development company that would be able to analyse our needs and interpret these needs into a quality website to a tight deadline. Not only were Area 17 able to do this but we were also incredibly impressed with the expertise and creativity they brought to the table; they were able to advise us on the development of the site, recommend the most suitable page stucture and functionality according to our needs, and go beyond this adding creative touches that we had not considered.'
'The ability to understand the clients needs and develop the product beyond those needs so that our expectations were surpassed is something that sets Area 17 apart from other web developers. We were impressed with their efficiency, ability to explain the development of the site in a coherent manner and their creativity.
'We are in the process of offering another development product to them based on the success of the original site development and I would have no hesitation in recommending Area 17 especially for art and fashion related website development.'
