Digital Product Studio
Making it more accessible for you to get creative and code the web!
All our project leads have the commercial acumen to understand your business goals, can discuss and read code, and have experienced enough projects to know what works (and when we should push ourselves to design a better approach).
Our web development workflow is bookended with strategy at the beginning, and powerful retrospectives at the end, and that's the secret sauce behind our continues learning. All our consultants have been shareholders in the past, and having been personally responsible for the bottom line means we're not in the habit of messing around.
Projects we're proud of
ESA BA worked with a Visual Storytelling Studio, Marketing Agency, and ourselves with the aim to grow grant applications by 70%. Calibre started by recording user research videos, used vector illustrations to help people dream, and finished by coding the UI designs that we had pitched.
DeepMind is one of the worlds leading (and most secretive) AI organisations in the world, and is likely to play a significant role in the future of humanity. Calibre's creative team was involved to explore the scientific relevance of AI into the past and the future as we contributed towards an internal corp comms initiative.
The worlds oldest merchant bank is living up to its legacy as it investigates Digital as a way to stay competative into the future. Calibre collaborates with Berenberg's Digital Transformation & Innovation initiatives by taking responsibity for everything from Product Strategy down to Frontend Development using React.js.
We rebranded the companys logo, offices, print & digital assets, but the Gutenberg powered Wordpress theme we made them was ahead of its time. Their bespoke page editor is as dynamic as the company itself and every time we load the website we spot a change they've made without having to pick up the phone to ask our help.
This cyber startup's impressive product scans the millions of devices in an enterprise to reveal their cyber risk profile. Calibre was fist involved as product consultants, where we campaigned for a new architecture that sped up development by at least 5x. We later built their website at esc.co.
As consultants, we coached the graphic designers at this Visual Storytelling Studio to "design for the web" so they could start selling websites using their unique illustration style.
As developers, we deliver pixel-perfect code whenever they redesign their website, published with a 2-week turnaround.
As the FT was bought by the Japanese bank Nikkei recently, strategic thinking has been more relevant than ever. We were involved as technologists in a series of workshops around strengthening their brand in the business traveller segment through new App ideas.
Our mission is to make the cutting edge of digital product design as accessible as possible to our partners.
Considering how fast the landscape of tools, workflows, and design patterns are changing, we've built a culture around learning, and we're never going to stop sharpening our axe.
We find that the best way to stay on the cutting edge of digital is by being plugged into a network of brilliant entrepreneurs, contractors, and mentors.
We've learnt from remote teams like Zapier, Buffer, and freelance collectives how to get a new contractor up to speed in a flash. That means seamless onboarding, documented design decisions, and communication that can't be misunderstood.
We developed a unique way of working because we value efficiency, confidence, and creativity, and this is what you really tap into when working with Calibre.
Do you want a project plan you can rely on? Do you want to hop on a videocall with no audio lag? Or perhaps see a staging website constantly evolve as we code? Want to receive the most useful and clear emails you've ever seen from a Agency? Some of our clients might informally admit that the culture of clean, effective, well-communicated, and intelligent work is the reason they keep coming up with website ideas for us to build, sprint, after sprint, after sprint.
