Who we are, where we came from, and what we're about!
Ongoing growth - our team continues to grow, and we we move into a new larger office with the Pendle Innovation Centre.
Large pitch wins include Pennine Lancashire and a number of other key projects..
A year of significant investment in new staff - Door4 see new arrivals in our design studio, and our administration departments. This leads to a much smoother contact with new business, and a more efficient financial control team.
Everybody's happy!
This year saw a large increase in our links with print/design/marketing agencies, and the launch of several key websites.
Value for money sub-contract web design continues as a key function within our business.
This year saw the launch of email-stationery.co.uk - our innovative sales approach for offering branded email templates to companies all over the United Kingdom.
This resulted in a huge influx of business, and additional growth for the company.
Later in the year, we took over the ongoing control of clients of the former Kaleidoweb Ltd - increasing our client base, most of whom we continue to service to this day.
Big commercial change here at Door4 - as we founded CATZL UK Ltd, the formal registered company.
Door4 became a trading division of the company, and remains our flagship brand.
This year also saw our move into brand new office premises next door, in the Pendle Innovation Centre, initially as a team of 3 occupying the centre's smallest office.
Door4 broke the 100 clients barrier - producing an email template and marketing material for a local recruitment agency.
Many of these clients continue to work with Door4, and included a building society, an international vehicle alarm manufacturer, and more than one PR agency.
After just over 2 years in Burnley, Door4 operations moved just up the M65 to commercial premises in Nelson.
New, slicker offices in the Northern Technologies building gave the business a huge advantage, and this was reflected in new business wins almost immediately.
Door4 began to work on e-commerce projects for a number of clients, and saw a significant growth during our second full year of trading.
Our first e-commerce website was launched, for a Padiham company, and achieved instant success, averaging 30 orders per day within a month of opening it's (virtual) doors!
In the beginning... Door4 was founded by Leon Calverley, and a business partner - beginning official trading in March 2000.
We began by producing a simple website for a mobility aids company, which quickly grew into a large database driven website.
From our studio on Trafalgar Street, Burnley we produced more than 10 websites in our first year, not bad for a fledgling startup.
We are a bright, creative and competent web design and digital marketing agency.
We're a team of 9 with skills across creative, technical and marketing fields.
Since 2000, we have specialised in conceiving and producing the highest quality websites for companies of all types and sizes. From large public sector and funded body clients, to start-ups.
Our clients initially choose Door4 because we offer a quality service, with a value for money approach. We understand our clients' needs (which is a mile away from simply offering to 'design' a website) and we tailor our solutions to ensure the best return on investment.
We understand that for the vast majority of our clients - every pound invested on a project with us simply must generate a significant return!
We operate a successful business here, so we understand the drivers, the motivation and the pitfalls of your trading environment that must be harnessed and overcome to ensure your continued growth.
So why not run your next project idea past us? We're full of ideas, and look forward to hearing yours!
