About
We help organisations create smart, adaptable websites and applications, focused solely on delivering great user experiences.
Founded in 2009 by Andy Townsend, ATD is a consulting firm with expertise in web design & development, web applications and eCommerce.
Smart, Agile, Imaginative
When you hire us, you get a small team. Staying small means we can focus entirely on working with you. We tend to have a lot of repeat business, working with clients in Australia and around the world.
Our Approach
We listen. We’re patient. We’re ethical. We are experts at what we do and we get you results. As one of our clients said recently “Andy is rare in that he can see the bigger picture, is fluent technically and can explain things in an easy-to-understand way”.
Methodology
As your organisation is unique, we’ll take you through a simple step-by-step process to understand your brief and the problems you are trying to solve. From there, we’ll hand-craft a fast, friendly and accessible website that’s optimised for mobile to desktop.
Why Choose us?
Unique solutions
As every business is unique, we believe your website should show this. Each and every website we design and create is specifically hand-tailored to represent your particular business.
Experience
We have extensive experience solving problems creatively for a diverse range of clients from small to medium businesses, governments and non-profits.
Results
We can help plan and measure the monetary impact or return-on-investment of our work on your business.
Size
We are small and have few overheads which means we can focus entirely on the work we do for you. We work collaboratively with other contractors to suit the project. As a result, we tend to get a lot of repeat business.
Honesty
We believe in accepting your business if the scope of work is within our capabilities—we’ll recommend someone else if we can’t meet your aims. Our goal is to deliver solutions profitably for both of us.
Consistency and value
You can expect the same quality, dedication and attention to detail regardless of project scope or investment size.
Business loyalty
We are constantly looking out for your best interests—even after the invoice. For example, if we come across some information or an idea that will help your business—or benefit you in any way—you can expect us to pass it along.
Quality assured
We develop all our websites using W3C (The World Wide Web Consortium) compliant code. We apply the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) standards to all the websites we create, ensuring the highest levels of quality.
Sustainability
Andy Townsend Design has worked very hard to minimise our impact on the environment and are always looking for ways to cut our carbon footprint. While we still have a little way to go, here are some of the things we do.
Solar Power
We use a grid connected solar array which generates all our energy needs.
Garden Produce
We grow as much of our own vegetables and fruit as possible, providing fresh, delicious produce for meals.
Solar Hot Water
We use a solar hot water service reducing our hot water bill by about half.
Lighting
We use energy-efficient lighting.
Green Hosting
Our web hosting servers are 100% carbon offset.
Recycled Paper
We use OfficeMax 100% recycled paper. It’s chlorine free and has 100% Post Consumer Waste recycled content.
Water
We collect the water from our roof and have installed low-flow fittings to taps.
Healthy Office
We have cultivated a healthy indoor plant collection which helps to produce oxygen and cut indoor toxins.
