Ester Digital

With offices in London and New York, Ester Digital joins creative design and engineering to deliver custom websites, software and brand identities, and it groups its work into three areas: design, business strategy and engineering. The agency describes its method as a triptych approach, in which three connected sections form one unit, so that each part of a client's work supports the others.

Web design and user experience

The web design service covers corporate website design, with UX experts who test whether a digital product is usable enough to meet the client's business objectives. The company says that usability is a practical matter for the business rather than a design preference.

Stationery, presentations and illustration

The agency also designs stationery and presentation material, which it describes as the way an idea is heard, seen and well presented. Its custom illustration work is offered for clients who want visual material that breaks away from established patterns.

Brand strategy and corporate identity

The strategy work begins with brand planning, which the agency treats as the key to more opportunities for measurable business growth. Its corporate identity service develops how a company presents itself, on the basis that a brand will otherwise be defined by the market if it does not tell its own story.

Creative art direction

Creative art direction is part of the same process. The agency says it aims to keep a client's team empowered and grounded while encouraging it to push boundaries.

Front-end and back-end development

On the engineering side the agency builds front-end and back-end systems, including headless content management systems and CRM integration. It also offers software development and mobile development, building the apps a client's offer depends on.

DevOps and IT consulting

The agency provides DevOps services and IT consulting, covering the infrastructure that a product runs on and the technical advice a client needs when choosing its direction.

Proofs of concept and early builds

For new product ideas, the agency builds proofs of concept and minimum viable products, so that a client can test a concept before committing to a full build.

Sectors and examples

Among its clients are healthcare and pharmacy businesses, wellness and medical technology companies, car dealers, subscription businesses, property professionals, travel agencies and education technology providers. Its site refers to work on a home improvement financing offer and on a car subscription service in Malaysia.

Positioning

The agency presents itself as a full-service digital agency with a trusted track record, offering design and development under one roof. It says it has worked with dozens of businesses and that its experience helps it craft digital experiences that connect with the people they are meant for.
