Welcome to Tastic — developers of affordable custom-built websites

Our customers range from small local businesses to large multinational companies.

Why Choose Tastic?

Many people, companies and organisations need a more tailor-made solution than is offered by the many off-the-shelf or 'cookie-cutter' website packages. However, they would rather pay lower prices than those typically charged by large IT companies, whose business structure and high overheads often mean that their clients' projects are all saddled with large development teams and layers of project management, regardless of whether the project really requires it.

Here at Tastic, we believe in a more streamlined approach that keeps our costs, and therefore our prices, as low as possible. We don't lease any offices; instead, our small core team of full-time analyst programmers works from home. We don't keep an army of designers on a retainer; instead, we draw from a small pool of tried-and-tested freelancers and small businesses, and we only bring in these external skills if the project requires it. That means, for example, that if you have your own in-house design capability, you won't end up paying for ours!

The compact nature of our team enables us to develop a close working relationship with our clients, but it doesn't mean that we only tackle small projects. While some of our customers are small businesses looking for help to set up their first 'proper' website, we also do work for much larger organisations such as Cable & Wireless and the NHS. Even organisations who would normally use their own in-house developers have found that our tightly-focussed approach can be relied upon to deliver a timely and cost-effective answer.
