We are a dedicated, independent web design and development agency. When we began in 1995 we knew the web would change people’s lives. Right from the start we have looked forward and taken the time to understand the benefits of new technologies and approaches, yet we are pragmatic and serve it to you straight. Explore our timeline below to explore some of our achievements from our 29 year history.

Red Snapper Ltd launches from offices in Camden, London.
Our first two commercial intranet sites are designed and developed for Glaxo Wellcome R&D and Glaxo PLC. The aim is to improve communication between the R&D teams at Glaxo and Wellcome after Glaxo’s purchase of Wellcome. This is a major achievement as the terms ‘Intranet’ and ‘CMS’ did not exist in 1996 and Netscape 1 was the browser of choice.
In a groundbreaking initiative, our second educational site is for people living with HIV and AIDS. We work closely with Glaxo Wellcome and a panel of patients to determine what kind of information would be useful for the community, and liaise with medical / legal sign off to ensure that all regulations are adhered to.
No more tape drives and couriers! We install our own leased line and start to host from our own location. From this point on we can provide end to end service and accountability.
