We absolutely love website design and development.
In many ways, it’s the perfect job for us and we’re really privileged to be able to do it.
As well as offering a great way to learn new technologies and creative strategies, it allows us to work with people from all over the world.
At StudioRav we’re proud to say we’ve worked with clients of all types, from a diverse range of backgrounds and industries.
This experience is what allows us to be highly receptive to our clients needs, and tailor our workflows to suit our broad client base.
Clients from across the globe
We’ve worked with clients from all over the world including the UK and Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, South America, China, USA, and Australia.
It’s been great learning about how different clients operate and also how people from different countries can actually be very similar.
Working with people from different backgrounds and industries is also a very fulfilling experience because you get to speak to people who look at things differently, some who have the same struggles as you, and others who bring a fresh perspective to problem-solving.
Some of the things we’ve learnt
- Many clients are busy people who just want to work with a professional company
- We’re the webdesign experts – they want us to give them our expert opinions
- Working with a company from the UK is perceived as being higher quality
- They are more than happy working remotely
Of course this also applies to clients within the UK.
They come from a huge range of backgrounds and sectors, some are technical, others are not.
For us, whether the client has a technical background or not makes no difference. We find that each client is a proud entrepreneur or worker who has their own ideas and interests, and we always value feedback.
Tips for good client engagement
In general we’ve found the following is important for good client engagement:
- Make sure you both understand your schedule and working patterns
- Blockers can happen on the client side or dev side – discuss them as appropriate
- Be flexible because things don’t always go to plan
- Always be polite and courteous to each other – especially when things go wrong
Our network of suppliers
As with most agencies we work with a large group of professionals from across the world including designers, developers, coders and more.
We’ve been lucky to work with many freelancers and experts for years at a time, and we’ve built up a strong network of web and marketing consultants.
Of course, working remotely brings its own challenges such as:
- You don’t really know how much time the other person has spent on your project
- If their English is not so good, it can be hard to communicate
- They can rush through the work, and not check it at all
In our experience, most overseas companies have great timekeeping and time differences are negligible.
Many of these digital tech workers from Asia or wherever are used to working to UK or US times.
How to find the right tech partner
- Look for someone who can work to your schedule, and is available when you are free
- Do you prefer to work with a larger team, or with one person – look for that
- Make sure they take pride in their work and always do thorough quality checking
- Ask them to show proof of their work so you can both see what has been done
As an agency, we love working with people from all over the world, and we enjoy working with companies who can provide their expertise to help us complete projects.

What we’ve learnt from our clients
From our UK clients we have learnt a huge amount about how different businesses work, even how different industries operate.
Some clients are very well organised, others sometimes leave things to the last minute.
We work best with clients who are professional and understand the ebb and flow of business.
Sometimes, you can be very busy with very little time to look at your own things, other times you may be low on work but need to look at the foundations of your business.
We can help in either case, and this is what we enjoy doing.
So, if you’re looking to work with a friendly, down to earth team of professionals then get in touch with us today.
