As we pride ourselves on the quality of the design of our websites, we write our content management systems (CMS) around the design rather than shoehorning a design into a third-party solution.
All our designs are unique and with every project we will produce 3 concepts from which elements can be taken to refine into the chosen route. We work with our clients to ensure the design is just how they want it before any development work is started.
We are now also using WordPress to provide our still stunning designs but within the open source Word Press framework.

Reviews
by Duncan Johnston at The Bournemouth Development Company LLP
www.bournemouthdevelopmentcompany.com
We’ve been impressed by Yammayap at every stage of our website project. The team listened carefully to our requirements and responded to the brief with an innovative and well-thought through solution. They’ve communicated well throughout and our final website, which was delivered on time, is well designed, simple to navigate and a great window to our work in Bournemouth. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
We are very pleased with our new web site and on the going development. The team understood our business model and produced a visual identity to promote our niche branding. Clear pricing and time scales, clear thinking and creative solutions communicated with jargon free dialogue. At all times we felt part of the process and overall we found the business partnership very positive and rewarding.
Yammayap were recommended to us (Multicore Consulting Ltd.) by word of mouth. Right from the outset Yammayap present themselves as a dynamic and engaging organisation with bags of talent and a very good understanding of what it is that makes a great brand and website design. They did a fantastic job with our website. We asked for a clean corporate brand image and this requirement has been transferred beautifully into our website design and other supporting material. We have received universally complimentary comments relating to our website, especially the branding.
Yammayap consistently demonstrate to us that they are prepared and capable of going above and beyond the call of duty in every aspect involved with website design and creation. In our opinion this definitely makes Yammayap exceptional value for money.
We continue to enjoy a very good and close working relationship with Yammayap, especially so with the artistic and branding development aspects of our website. Without a shadow of a doubt we will be using Yammayap again in the future to help us promote our next software product.
Yammayap represents a breath of fresh air in this industry because they are very rare. Yammayap are professional, courteous, driven and dedicated to their clients cause with all this being evidently clearly seen in their productions.
The two principle directors at Yammayap are very approachable and excellent communicators. We have felt a real sense of partnership since inception. Our project has been considerable, complex and incredibly demanding.
Yammayap have risen to the challenge and have worked hard through periods of difficulty to deliver a website and an ecommerce business platform that we are very proud of.
Rich and the team at Yammayap have done an amazing job transforming our on-line presence. They worked extremely efficiently to brief and always added value from concept to launch. The quickly got up to speed with our products and services extracting our value proposition and ensuring that is was presented in an easy to understand way; not always easy with technology. We were particularly impressed with the Users Interface design and site navigation.
We engaged Yammayap to not only rebuild our website but also to create a more professional brand to reflect our company's increased maturity and expanded range of services & solutions. We are delighted with the results and have received numerous comments from our clients complimenting the way in which we project oursleves to the outside world. Yammayap's designs are outstanding and these are backed up by solid technical capabilities plus a refreshing "can do" attitude which makes working with them a pleasure. We continue to enjoy a successful ongoing partnership, working together to create all manner of online and offline marketing materials including email newsletters, brochures and event signage, to name but a few. I would wholeheartedly recommend Yammayap to other businesses looking to revitalise their brand and online presence.
Since Yammayap have re-designed our website, it is a joy to use and navigate around. Yammayap understood our requirements from the word go and working closely with them, within no time our new website was ready to launch. It is easy to use and navigate around from both our Clients (and potential Clients!) view and also for us to keep all our information relevant and up to date. The online enquiry form has certainly generated leads that we may not necessarily have received had it not been so user friendly. Nothing was a problem throughout the process and we would have no hesitation in recommending Yammayap to anyone.
After launching Oceana Hotels with four new websites in 2006, Yammayap have been constantly working closely with us to keep our websites and web events up to date with today
Yamayap are professional and friendly people to deal with. There is no hard sell, no technical babble and no time wasting. They got to the core of the matter of why I needed a website. They listened to my needs and incorporated their ideas, creativity and technical skill to give me a site that lets my images do the talking.
They understood that (being a photographer) I wanted the photographs to take priority and not superfluous design or unnecessary Flash based graphics. I also needed my image galleries to be viewed quickly enabling viewers to see multiple images without getting bored waiting for a loading icon every time and new picture was selected.
I also needed the facility to upload and change images myself. They built this facility in to help keep my site up to date but they also suggested using multiple (rotating) images on my homepage so that it changes each time a visitor views it to keep my site looking fresh.
I wanted my website to be more than a shop window, as I needed a secure area so clients could view their images without anyone else seeing them and a contact form for new customers to get in touch and enter vital details. Later they even enabled me to upload PDF documents on my site of magazine articles I
Yammayap have provided us with an excellent website completed to all specificiations.
Additions and changes made since initial go-live have been dealt with in the same professional and friendly manner. They've been invaluable when it comes to managing our content and helping us to acheive our goals.
We wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to anyone, in fact we have already!
Richard and James are both very amenable and have been good to work with. They respond promptly to our requests when we have needed data updates to the website. Some areas of the site still need to be improved and we are working with them on this at the moment. I think one area in which they could improve their service to us is to be more proactive in offering advice on the layout and content of the site, making use of their experience to best serve us.
Yammayap have a great mixture of both technical know how and creative flair, the partnership between James and Richard worked really well for us. They listened patiently to my ramblings and really manged to develop a site that took into consideration all the critical aspects that we really needed and delivered a great end product.
Being something of an IT techno numpty they were able to translate things in such a way that made it easy to understand. The site looks very professional and gives a real flavour of what we are all about. They gave me some really great advice about the CMS ( Content Management System - for all you other techno- numpties:-) ) Which means I have so much control over the content and how much we can adapt what we post up. The admin of the site is really easy to use and takes the hardship out of uploading new content.
The really important part for me was that I was working with two guy's that really cared about delivering a great service and they have continued to do that. Through the project process we sat down and talked things through, they are honest and upfront about what they can and cant deliver and were realistic about the timeframes. I have recommended them to a number of friends and work colleagues on the back of the experiences I have had with them and would contiue to do so.
Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication to create our new website and ensuring it's operational. We have all been so impressed with your work and how you have made a rather challenging task so much easier for us! We are exceptionally happy with the website and your creativity and professionalism have surpassed our expectations throughout the project. We look forward to continue working with you in future.
When I was about to start my own Firm I approached Yammayap to produce my website. They were extremely helpful and took the time to understand my business and what I was trying to convey to potential clients.
They then produced some designs for the whole project. I was encouraged to have input into this process and to reject any ideas that I was not entirley happy with. They then assisted with the type of script to populate the pages.
The project was delivered on time and within budget.
I have always been very happy with the finished product and have received many compliments on the website. More importantly it has been a major source of work over the past two years.
The feed back of the effectiveness of our web site comes from our customers rather than ourselves. Our customers love it and it pleases us receiving good comments from them on an ongoing basis. Yamayap have done an excellent job for us and they make pro active recommendations that work well and they keep to our tight time schedules in their work for us. Thank you Yamayap !!
