About Purple Prince
A small studio with big ideas — independent, UK-headquartered, working with clients across the world.
Purple Prince Media is a small, independent web agency based in the heart of Shropshire. Since 2010 we’ve helped more than two hundred businesses — from one-person operations to FTSE-listed brands like DHL — turn ambitious ideas into websites, stores and applications that actually perform.
We’re a deliberately small team. Not because we couldn’t grow, but because the work’s better this way. The person who picks up the phone when you call is the same person designing your site, writing the code, or fixing the bug. There’s no handoff. No “let me check with the account manager.” No surprises.
What makes us different
We work directly. You’ll never speak to a salesperson. When you brief us, you’re briefing the team that builds the work.
We tell the truth. If your project isn’t right for us, we’ll say so and recommend someone better placed. If you’re about to make a costly decision, we’ll flag it — even if it loses us the job.
We stay. The average Purple Prince client has been with us for more than six years. We’re not chasing the next pitch; we’re looking after the last one.
Where we are
Our studio is at Office 102, Newport Business Hub on the High Street in Newport, Shropshire — about ten minutes from Telford and a short hop from the M54. We’re happy to host meetings in person (there’s decent coffee) or do everything by video call. Most of our clients are within an hour’s drive; plenty are much further afield, including the USA and the rest of the world.
The kit
We’re certified Magento partners, long-time Concrete CMS partners, and shipped our first WordPress site back when WordPress 2.5 was the latest version. We work in PHP, JavaScript, Laravel and a fair bit of bespoke architecture besides. The right tool for the job, not the easiest one to sell.
Five things we believe
Bold beats safe
Forgettable websites don’t get clicked. We design with personality and back it up with proof.
Fast beats fancy
If it doesn’t load in under two seconds, nothing else matters. Performance is a feature.
Plain English beats jargon
You shouldn’t need a glossary to read a quote. We say what we mean.
Owned beats rented
You’ll own your code, your content and your data. No vendor lock-in, no surprise rate hikes.
Long beats launch
The launch is the start, not the finish. We’re set up to support the work for years.
