  • Here's what we can do for you.

  • Branding and Identity

    Is your business suffering an identity crisis? How your business looks can have a huge impact on what your customers - and your competitors - think of you. A strong and clear identity will help people recognise your company, and help customers find your business. Whether it's a new brand or rebrand, our creative team can design logos, colour schemes and create a unique aesthetic around your business and help you stand out from your competitors and define the company to your customers. We can cover everything from business cards to vehicle signage, right down to your personalised mouse mat!

  • Web Development

    Here at 5QC, we believe in progress. The world wide web is only what it is today because people kept pushing forward with new technologies and practices. As such, we use the latest technologies available, primarily HTML5 and CSS3, to build our websites, and we do it at no extra cost to the customer. Using the latest standards in web technology means that all our websites deliver the best possible user experience, and ensures that all websites are functional, easy to use and beautifully designed, and work on all the latest standards compliant web browsers.

  • Digital and Print Design

    Whether it's a business card, catalogue, menu or a billboard, we can provide designs for print that are both functional and beautiful, and can really help grab the attention of your target market. We can also provide digital media such as interactive web content, animation and more. All designed with an eye for detail and a thoughtful understanding of your business model and brand values.

  • Search Engine Optimisation

    Is your website not listing in the top pages of the search engines? Our search engine optimisation service looks to improve your websites content and visibility to search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing. SEO aims to give your website the attention it deserves by using carefully selected keywords and phrases throughout your websites pages to help bring in much larger audiences and increase traffic and sales from your website. Learn how we can help you maximise your visibility.

  • Web Design

    Websites need to work, but they also need to look good to really live up to their potential. With our careful design work we can give you the website that is as personal as your business. Carefully designed not just to look good, but to work like it should. Design that helps direct your visitors, highlights key values and gets your message across.

  • Web Hosting

    Our web hosting in Manchester provides your website with a little home and place to stay. Web hosting is what your site needs to be found on the World Wide Web, so with a bit of file space and some bandwidth, we can get your website hosted and accessible to all your customers.

  • Tom's face

    Tom Robinson

    Web Design and Development

    From a very young age Tom wanted to become an artist. When, in his teens, he discovered the wonders of the internet, this quickly developed into a passion for interactive design, which put Tom on a path that would see him achieve two A-Levels in Applied Information & Communication Technology, followed by a BSc in Multimedia Technology. While looking for permanent work, he took on a couple of freelance web design jobs, and decided that this was the career he wanted to pursue, so he started attending a local enterprise club which offered help and advice on starting a business. There, he met SEO & Digital Marketing expert, Martin Griffiths, and when they teamed up with Graphic Designer, Steve McCarthy, Five Quarters Creative was born.
