Blaze Concepts

Web design and branding from Taunton

Taunton-based Blaze Concepts is a creative studio for websites, branding and apps in Somerset. It was established in 2004 and serves clients across Somerset and Devon, with both government and commercial contracts. The agency describes itself as a creative team that helps businesses stand out, connect and grow online, and it builds websites, online shops, mobile apps and browser-based applications.

Responsive websites and online shops

Websites are built to work on every device, from brochure sites to fully bespoke online shops. Ecommerce stores are designed to grow with the business that runs them. The agency says it combines strong design with search-friendly development, so its sites can be found as well as admired.

Mobile and browser apps

The agency builds mobile apps and browser-based business applications. It presents these as a way to maximise productivity for a business whose staff and customers are on the move, and it says the apps can be built alongside the company's websites.

Accessibility and WCAG guidelines

The agency describes itself as an expert in web accessibility and the WCAG guidelines, and builds to that standard. Its site offers a free website review that looks at accessibility, speed and search optimisation, so that a client can see where its site falls short before committing to changes.

Search, domains and hosting

Search optimisation is part of the web work, aimed at rankings and visitor traffic. Domains, SSL certificates and website hosting are offered as well, so that a client can handle everything from one supplier.

Logos, print and stationery

The creative team works on logos, rebrands, vectorisation, infographics, stationery and printed marketing collateral. The agency says it turns logos and brand ideas into a consistent set of printed and digital materials.

Sectors served

Its past projects have included work for a supplier of fish food and for a retailer of equine goods, as well as a manufacturer of industrial valves and a health information service about breast reconstruction. The spread of clients shows the agency works with both government and commercial bodies, and that its web and brand work is not limited to one sector.
