About us

A creative studio near Bath, run by husband and wife Jack and Carly. You deal directly with the people doing the work.

Who we are

BARE is us, Jack and Carly, a husband and wife team working from near Bath. Jack leads strategy, brand and design. Carly leads the build and looks after clients once they’re live. Between us there’s twenty years of experience.

Around 90% of the work is done in-house. When a project needs extra resource we bring in freelancers we know and trust, but the thinking, the design and the build stay with us.

Every website we make runs on our own CMS, built by us from the ground up. No third party plugins to patch and nothing generic. Each module is made for the client it serves. It’s a big part of how we get small and medium businesses the best results, which is what we’re here for.

Jack

Jack

Carly

Carly

Why choose us

Run by the owners

Every project is looked after by Jack and Carly personally. No account managers, no juniors learning on your budget.

Made in Somerset

We work from near Bath with clients all over the world. Distance has never been a problem.

Straight talk

Plain answers about what things cost, how long they take and whether you actually need them.

Fair pricing

Prices are agreed up front and they don’t change.

Our own CMS

Every site runs on the CMS we built ourselves. No third party plugins to patch and no bloat slowing you down.

Support after launch

We stay on after the site goes live. Hosting, changes and support from the people who built the site and the CMS it runs on.

Budgets and payment plans

Good design shouldn’t be out of reach. We work with budgets of all sizes and we’ll always tell you honestly what you can get for yours.

If a one-off cost doesn’t suit, we offer monthly payment plans that spread the cost into simple monthly payments. You get the website or brand your business needs now, without the up-front hit.

Whatever the size of your business, get in touch and we’ll find a way to make it work.
