WHO ARE WE?

Redcard Media was founded by Andy Graves in 2000 after 10 years in the multimedia and web industries. After working for many consultancies and production companies Andy felt that there was far too much Bull in the business and resolved, with Redcard, to send it off.

"Many a time I've sat with a director of a consultancy, completely aghast at what he was trying to sell the client. While it may have been financially beneficial for us as a consultancy to push a particular application to a client, it was clearly no use to the client whatsoever," Andy says.

"Unfortunately, Bull baffles brains, and in many occasions the client ended up paying over the odds for an application that had no relevance to their needs whatsoever".

Many companies commissioning a web development may feel (with just cause) slightly fearful of the array of technologies and options available to them. Not all options may be necessary and where necessary we are able to point out what can add value in a development, and what will be completely useless in the longer term picture.

While Redcard are great believers in taking a creative and innovative approach to all aspects of web design, we feel it is grossly unfair of many consultancies to take advantage of a client's hesitancy to push areas of a development that may not be relevant to what they are trying to achieve.

The birth of a web site, like all births, can be fraught with trauma. Redcard's mission in business is to reduce this level of trauma to a bare minimum, ensure that there are no complications throughout, and most importantly avoid any chance of the project being still-born.
