A little bit about Buffalo
The Company
Buffalo is a small web design agency based in Brighton, UK. Over the last few years we've made a reputation for building websites that look great and are easy-to-use.
Collectively we've gained lots of experience working with large companies such as Sony, Financial Times and Channel 4, as well as start-ups, small teams and agencies.
This isn't just a job for us. We really enjoy what we do and believe that it shows in our work. If you think we could work together and like what we do, then get in touch.

Can't see what you're looking for above? Well we may do it anyway. Give us a shout and we'll let you know either way.
We are always looking for talented people. This can be as a freelancer and occasionally something more permanent.
We look for the right kind of person and this is more important to us than a degree or 10 years experience.
Placements/internships can also be possible so ask us.
Our Process
01 Understand / Plan
Firstly we really get to know the concept. This means talking to you, asking you difficult questions and throwing out some ideas.
Together we turn the brief into a story that allows us to get started on design.
02 IA / Design
We usually start by creating key wireframes of the most important pages on a site.
Next the design ... we might hit the jackpot first time or they may require some iteration to get things just right.
03 Build / Implement
Here we turn our designs into code that works in the browser and begin to power this code with the database we made earlier.
We test each part of the system as we go to crush any bugs that may be around.
04 Manage / Expand
It might seem over but this is where true development begins.
We like long relationships with our clients, not casual flings, so as things change we can help.
