Eight Arms

A small United Kingdom-based team, Eight Arms works with organisations and agencies on branding, websites, campaigns and digital games, taking on clients ranging from care homes and ports to international charities and financial publishers. Past collaborations named on its site include Euromoney, Portland Port, Danforth Care Homes, Talbot Village Trust and Childnet International, indicating a client base spanning corporate, cultural and third-sector organisations. The team is structured around a founder and lead developer, a co-founder and developer, a senior designer and a creative director, reflecting a combined design and development skill set. The agency describes a four-stage process: Discover, Design, Build and Grow. The Discover phase covers project objectives, timings, responsibilities and deliverables. Design work begins with a visual approach and strategic concept, covering branding, websites, campaigns, exhibitions and games. In the Build stage, the team creates wireframes early in development and states that its websites are built to be compliant, accessible and secure, with usability as a core consideration. The Grow phase involves ongoing partnerships through maintenance packages intended to keep websites updated as technology changes, alongside proactive advice based on clients' future plans. Declared service areas also include SEO, advertising, content marketing, public relations, social media marketing and UX/UI design, delivered by the same small team across branding and digital design projects.
