Proven History
5and3 is led by Simon Dawson whose diverse and creative thinking has led to many effective and unique solutions during his career. The team at 5and3 has the right mindset to deliver results, overcome obstacles and leverage solutions to problems others have said are not possible. The team's ability to craft unique solutions in many business areas is evident in 5and3's own solution portfolio.
The brand name
5and3 was started in 2011 with the brand name based on HTML5 and CSS3, which are the technologies used, at the time and now, to develop and make functional websites. Variants of the name were tryed (5&3 5 and 3) but 5and3 remained and what followed were a number of successful website projects that utilised processes that were developed for delivering web solutions to the company's clients.
In 2012 and with many website projects due to start, coupled with branding, design, data and technical projects flooding in, the company relocated to new premises in East Grinstead and 5and3 became much more than just a website agency.
Fast forward another year, having delivered projects and solutions far beyond just websites, the processes used within the team were developed and thus the 5and3 brand name took on a new meaning.
What does 5and3 mean?
5and3 is based on our five-step process that we follow for all projects…
Five step process
We engage and collaborate with you to understand your business, your target market and its position amongst competitors. We listen to your requirements and what you are actually asking for and ensure that you have realistic expectations for what can be achieved and ultimately delivered.
We research your competitors and market place, analysing your business and brand whilst adapting our processes to support your requirements and vision. We mould ourselves around your ideas to see things from your perspective so that you can be sure we'll get the project from the beginning.
We are honest with you and always ask the right questions to get to the heart of your vision. This gives us the necessary insight to research and create a strategic plan of action.
We develop ideas in an agile and extensible way creating captivating, intelligent, responsive solutions to enable the evolution of your business and brand. We specialise in solving problems and finding solutions.
We deliver your vision, for your business, not just how you want it but importantly, in the best way that it can be perceived and intended for your target market. Once the project is complete, we don't abandon you, we are available to support, enhance and help you take your business into the future.
Covering our original three core services
three core disciplines
and online results-driven strategies
Our philosophy
Through internal collaboration, client communication and strategic thinking we believe in delivering results-driven solutions. We’re not just a creative or website agency, we’re so much more. We provide business and marketing consultation, delivering excellent end results: leads and sales to maximise your investment.
Knowledge & education
We provide our clients with honest, informative and educational industry knowledge through our online articles that can be referenced and shared amongst peers.
Living in an open source digital world where most information can be found on the web, there is nothing that we know that our clients can’t find out for themselves. We aim to bring design, web, development, technical, marketing and search engine optimisation (SEO) knowledge to the forefront of our business, creating a resource, a knowledge base of invaluable information, where clients can educate themselves to make their own informed decisions.
