What Fifteen Design does

Fifteen Design Limited is a UK-based full-service digital agency founded in 2004 (firmographics record 2003) and headquartered in Nottingham, with additional offices in London (Shoreditch) and Preston. The company is registered in England and Wales as a private limited company and has been bootstrapped since inception with no disclosed venture or private equity investment.

The firm's offering is organised into three pillars: Creative Design (brand and logo design, graphic design, brochure and corporate literature, packaging, school prospectus, direct mail, exhibition stand design, photography and videography), Web Development (custom website design and build, e-commerce platforms, mobile app development, CRM and API integration, website hosting and support, and testing/auditing), and Digital Marketing (SEO, PPC including Google Ads, Bing Ads and Amazon, social media, email, affiliate, conversion rate optimisation, plus white-label services for resellers). Technical implementation spans PHP, .NET, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, and SQL across multiple CMS platforms (HubSpot, WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify, Magento, OpenCart, Shopware, Umbraco, Laravel). Hosting infrastructure is described as multi-zone with 60-second monitoring, automatic failover, and sub-0.1 second response times. Certifications include HubSpot, Shopify, Shopware, and Google Ads.

Revenue is generated through professional services for project-based work (websites, branding, design, app development starting at £10,000) and subscription/recurring retainers for digital marketing (PPC management starting at £300+VAT/month). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Customer base spans UK businesses of all sizes with notable work for charities (The Richmond Group, Bikeability Trust, Imran Khan Cancer Appeal), education (BMet), property (Leaders Romans Group), and consumer brands (OceanLED, Love My Skin, Holgates, Wave Alchemy), supported by "hundreds of clients" historically. The GTM motion is sales-led direct engagement through three UK offices and inbound channels including a free SEO audit tool.
