Purple History

Purple Penguin was conceived by our Creative Director, Christopher Potter in 2002. For 6 years Chris worked as a freelance designer running the agency on a part time basis in Rotherham.

In early 2008, Chris began working on a marketing project for James Squires, the entrepreneur behind various successful businesses in Doncaster, including www.austinbanks.co.uk, www.yorkshirejobs.net and www.websites4agencies.com.

It soon became clear that with Chris’ technical expertise and James’ business vision, Purple Penguin could become a major player in the local web/graphic design sector.

Since then, the company has grown from strength to strength and now boasts an impressive and growing client list.

In August 2008, we incorporated as a Limited Company and set up our new office at The Hutton Business Centre in Doncaster to make room for our continued expansion.

Purple Principles

By sticking to some very basic principles, Purple Penguin ensures that each and every customer enjoys the kind of service that they’ll want to tell their friends and colleagues about. The three principles are:

1. We really listen

Most companies are quick to say that they listen to their customers but how often do you feel like a supplier really understands your organisation, your motives and what you are trying to achieve?

We go a few steps further than most when it comes to understanding your requirements because we believe that being in tune with your goals and your market is the key to delivering solutions that accurately match your vision.

2. We really care

We care about the work we produce and the results it achieves for our clients. This is not just marketing hype. We really do take pride in each and every project, no matter how large or small because we believe in supplying the kind of service we would expect if we were in your shoes. A quick review of our testimonials should indicate that our clients agree!

3. We’re really good!

We believe in being not just good, but really good - this is a full time commitment for each of us at Purple Penguin! We never allow complacency to set in and constantly develop our skills and resources to ensure we stay one step ahead of your requirements. Rest assured that whatever you ask for, we’ll almost certainly be able to do it, and do it better than you expected!

When a request is made to a download server, your ISP will automatically route the packet to the closest PurpleCDN Peering Point, and then we'll route your packet to the closest edge server.

Case Studies

Panelworks Limited
We needed a unique and imaginative website produced quickly and within a tight budget (since the company had only been trading for 6 months). The directors met several developers and were impressed by the creative, helpful and simple approach of Purple Penguin. After one meeting a plan was agreed and within a short period of time a highly effective website was produced. Read More
