About us

We use creative thinking and digital innovation – and 20 years of know-how - to help our clients communicate better with their audiences and achieve their goals.

Our mission is to understand the needs of our clients, develop the skills of our people, harness the power of technology and build rewarding experiences at every stage of the user journey

Who we are

Since 2001, we've delivered and hosted nearly 1,500 websites and online systems. But we're more than a digital agency. Instead, we combine skills and experience to improve the way people experience all their everyday interactions with our clients. In short, we place user experience at the heart of everything we do.

None of this would be possible without some solid and proven specialisms, including digital strategy, design and development, UX and service design, and user testing. Naturally, you can add unrivalled customer service and value for money into the mix. And know-how. In fact, from strategy and design to development and support, you can be sure of one thing... CIVIC knows.

We've also achieved accreditation with the Good Business Charter. This accreditation recognises responsible business behaviour across ten key components. We believe it's important to be accountable in the way we do business, and by gaining accreditation we're demonstrating our commitment to our staff, suppliers, customers and the environment.

Alongside this, we're certified to internationally recognised ISO standards, including ISO 9001 for quality management, ISO 27001 for information security management, and ISO 27017 and ISO 27018 for cloud security and the protection of personally identifiable information in cloud environments. These certifications reflect our commitment to delivering high-quality digital services while maintaining the highest standards of security, governance and continuous improvement.
