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 looks after strategy, branding and design. He has twenty years of experience across agencies and in-house teams, and he leads the thinking on every project we take on.
Carly
Carly leads the build and looks after every client once their site is live. She works with our own CMS every day, building the custom modules that make each site fit its client. Her support is the thing our reviews mention most.

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

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.
