Featured Customer: Creative Stream

I’m Ant, and I run Creative Stream. I look after the big picture, and onboard new projects.

What does Creative Stream do?

We are a web development agency specialising in bespoke design and development. We deliver tailored web platforms for dioceses, parent carer forums and GPs.

Being creative is our top priority for all our projects – this can be code, UI/UX or anything really, as long as each project has an element that has an enjoyable and creative process.

How do you consistently achieve success as a web development agency?

The graft. Not giving up. Pushing forward and building the client base we need to grow the business. Looking for opportunities that allow us to specialise.

What is your favourite part about what you do?

I care about making a positive difference in society so over the years we have gravitated towards healthcare, education website solutions and charities.

This is where the business has grown and this is what I love about Creative Stream.

What are the challenges that web designers, and how do you overcome them?

Challenges are generally around the front-end development side of our work because it is the area we tend to find demands the most time from our team from time to time.

However, we are tackling this by bringing more people into our team.

How do you use 20i’s Reseller Hosting?

We host all our client sites via 20i’s Reseller Hosting on the different platforms, depending on their requirements.

We have our own bespoke platform and we also create WordPress sites.

Our whole team uses it. Some of us interact with it in advanced ways but other team members use it to edit templates within the file manager.

You have been with 20i for quite some time now. What makes you stay?

The interface is excellent. The platform transfer and migration tools are also really great.

These have made the process of hosting our clients via 20i a no brainer.

What does the future hold for Creative Stream?

To progress the platforms that we have been specialising in further and to make sure that we have a healthy balance of creative projects, which is what gives us the greatest satisfaction as a team.

What advice/wisdom would you like to share with the world?

Ensure that at least a small part of your working life is something that gives you life.

Be careful when taking advice and make sure you trust your own instincts.
