(About)
Small studio. Long relationships.
StudioExcel has been building for the web since 2001. Our priority has always been a long-term relationship with every client — it is what makes quick, effective support possible.
(The person behind it)
Hi, I’m Jack.
I started StudioExcel over 25 years ago. Since then I’ve worked in sales, marketing and web development — so I care less about clever code and more about whether your phone rings and your checkout fills up.
I’ve built for corner shops and charities, for publishers with millions of monthly readers, and for online stores with seven-figure revenue. You deal with me directly, start to finish.

How we work.
Since 2001
Over two decades of web development and project management goes into every project, whatever its size.
Made for you
No cookie-cutter solutions. Each strategy and each design is shaped around the business it is for.
Nothing outsourced
Every pixel and every line of code is crafted here in the UK, by the people you talk to.
Quick turnarounds
Friendly support and effective fixes, usually sooner than you expect.
Local and international
Clients in the UK and the US — local insight with an international perspective.
Plain English
Flexible, jargon-free communication, with the occasional dash of humour.

In their words.
As a not for profit community organisation the setup and support provided by StudioExcel has been exceptional and has allowed our organisation to grow over the 7 years StudioExcel has provided our website and email support. Having the confidence in our website support enables us to focus on our community goals rather than IT website skills.
Jack is an excellent guy to work with. I have been managing websites for years and Jack has provided the best service I have experienced thus far. Our websites run better than ever as a result of working with StudioExcel.
If you’re seeking a comprehensive web design service, I highly recommend StudioExcel. Their expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to client satisfaction make them the great partner for any B2B business looking to make a powerful impression online.
StudioExcel has recently built me an e-commerce website. Jack made things very easy and straight forward for me to understand and the website is great. Jack is always on hand to answer any queries I have with the ongoing running of the site.
Did an excellent job in creating a high quality website. Very responsive and easy to deal with. Enabled us to view the website as it was being developed which was very helpful. Provided excellent tutorial video on how to update the site ourselves and always on hand to help if we need it.
The champagne’s on ice. Thanks for overcoming all the challenges and for providing a wonderful website we can be proud of. I’ve rarely come across such a bright, talented, honourable and courteous person as you... it truly has been a pleasure.
The feedback for the website has been very (and only) positive and the thorough, efficient and responsive service from yourself has made a daunting process very smooth and enjoyable. Thank you again, I love my new site.
Studio Excel were able to provide us with an excellent web design service, but also offered invaluable help in researching the Scarborough area. Our business required a bespoke application and we are very happy with the outcome.
Studio Excel set out the key parameters of the web design project clearly, explained the options and limitations for the website, developed exactly what we wanted and delivered work on or ahead of schedule.
Got a weird idea? Good.
Tell me what you’re building, what isn’t working, or the idea you can’t shake. You’ll get a reply from me within two working days — with thoughts, not a sales script.
