Parachute

Founded in 2013 and based in Glasgow, Scotland, Parachute is an independent digital agency working with a small, diverse team of website designers and developers. Its client base spans small businesses through to larger organisations, including sectors such as retail and sport, and it positions itself as having worked with companies at various stages, from startups to more established brands. The agency has been operating for over a decade, building websites across a range of CMS platforms. Parachute's core offering centres on custom website design and development, with stated expertise in WordPress, Umbraco, Magento and Shopify. Development work is built using PHP, CSS and JavaScript, with sites made responsive and built to conform to W3C standards, alongside attention to hosting speed as part of the technical approach. Beyond web design, the agency lists services including SEO, mobile app development, branding, graphic design, advertising campaigns, pay-per-click and paid search marketing, email marketing, paid social and social media management, customer relationship management, and Spektrix integrations for arts and culture organisations. Project types mentioned include e-commerce sites, portfolio websites and corporate sites. The agency describes its process as working closely with clients to understand business goals before designing and building the site, and frames itself as an extension of the client's own team throughout the project.
