Sparkwood and 21 imageSparkwood and 21 web design and development

Hello. We design websites.

We are a location independent web design studio currently based out of Haarlem in the Netherlands, and run by designer Duncan McKean.

We focus on what makes your website important: good clean presentation, fantastic usability and solid technologies to help your website grow with your business.

Because we are small (yet perfectly formed!) we take a personal interest in every web design project we do, often working with our clients long after their website goes live.

It is because of our attention-to-detail and our passion that we get all manner of returning clients from all over the world.

Some things we do

  • HTML & CSS

    • We make sure that your site is SEO friendly and works on the latest version of the most popular browsers.

  • Content Management

    • Our commitment to open source software means you can update your website content.

  • Website Design

    We love what we do and so do our clients.

    Gethin, from Still Small Voice, asked us to help him out with the launch of the first album off his new record label. Together we created a 'house style' for all future album launches, developed simple and clear branding, and set up a content-managed website for Gethin to update and promote the artists himself.
    Working together with one of the producers of DLF-TV we were contacted to consult on the effectiveness of WordPress as a way of promoting the Foundation's producer weblogs, and successfully connecting with their audience.

    Resume Heaven is a monthly newsletter that reaches people all over the globe and runs entirely on open source software.

    This means it is more stable, inexpensive (compared to proprietary software), and is an excellent way to help promote your organisation's image.

    In the case of Resume Heaven we used the WordPress blogging platform to run the newsletter, Twitter to create a community to help promote it, and FeedBurner to ensure it arrives in people's email inbox as soon as it is published.
