START-UPS
Brand new ideas finding their feet.
IT STARTED WITH ONE SIMPLE IDEA.
Good websites shouldn't be reserved for businesses with huge budgets.
Too many small businesses end up with websites that don't represent them properly. Some are built from generic templates, some are overcomplicated, and some simply never get finished.
Genvi Media was created to change that.
Our aim has always been simple. Create websites that feel personal, look professional and genuinely help businesses move forward.
A DIFFERENT WAY OF WORKING
Every website we build starts with listening.
Not because it's part of a process, but because no one understands your business better than you do.
We'll ask questions, challenge ideas when we think there's a better approach, and work with you to create something that feels right.
By the time your website launches, it shouldn't feel like a website we've built.
It should feel like your website.
HI, I’M CHRISTIE.
I’ve been making websites since the days of Piczo and Freewebs, although it took me a surprisingly long time to realise that making the websites was actually the bit I loved.
For years, I’d come up with a new business idea, build the website, get completely obsessed with making it look right... then get bored with the actual business and move onto another one.
Eventually, the penny dropped.
I didn’t want to run all those businesses. I wanted to build their websites.

THE BIT I ACTUALLY LOVE
Obviously, I love building websites. But one of the best bits is still sending that first design over and waiting for the reaction.
“HOLY MOLY, THAT’S AWESOME!”
“IT’S SO ME!”
“OMG, I LOVE IT SO MUCH!”
“IT’S EVEN BETTER THAN I WAS PICTURING IT!”
“YOU MANAGED TO CREATE ME IN A WEBSITE!”
That last one pretty much sums up what I’m trying to do.
You’re not a name on a spreadsheet or another job to get through. I want to know what you do, why you do it, what you love, what you absolutely hate and what you want people to feel when they land on your website.
Then I build that.
No agency waffle.*
Small disclaimer: there is every chance we’ll run 15 minutes over talking about your business, life, the weather, your dog, my kids or something completely unrelated. Only if you want to, obviously.
HI, I’M TOM.
I’m the sales, marketing and business side of Genvi. Or, as we tend to put it, manager of all things.
My background is in sales and marketing, so I’m usually thinking about the bigger picture. Who are we trying to reach? What are we actually trying to say? What’s going to make someone stop, pay attention and take the next step?
I handle a lot of the conversations, ideas, planning and commercial side of Genvi, as well as helping shape projects before Christie gets anywhere near building them. I’m also usually the one spotting opportunities, coming up with another idea we definitely have time for, and making sure everything keeps moving in roughly the right direction.
We approach things quite differently, which is probably why it works. Christie sees the design, the detail and how everything should come together. I’m looking at the customer, the message, the opportunity and what makes sense for the business.
And somewhere in the middle, Genvi happens.

BUILT TO LAST
We're not interested in launching a website and disappearing.
Businesses change.
Websites should change with them.
Whether that's adding new pages, refreshing the design, improving performance or simply answering the odd technical question, we're here long after launch day.
And if something unexpected happens...
That's why the Panic Button exists.
EXPERIENCED ACROSS A WIDE RANGE OF BUSINESSES
Over the years we've worked with start-ups, charities, consultants, trades, transport businesses, retailers, health and wellbeing organisations, hospitality businesses and growing SMEs.
We've also delivered websites through local authority and government-backed business support programmes, helping businesses make the most of available funding to improve their online presence.
Every project is different.
That's exactly how we like it.
ALL SORTS, ACTUALLY
WE’VE BEEN TRUSTED WITH...
TRADES
Proper businesses that need proper websites.
CHARITIES
& CICs
Big missions, made clear online.
TRANSPORT
From local journeys to international missions.
HEALTH &
WELLBEING
Thoughtful services that deserve thoughtful design.
SMALL
BUSINESSES
Small teams, solo founders and brilliant independents.
And quite a few things that don’t fit neatly into a box.
SMALL ENOUGH TO CARE
Genvi is deliberately small.
It means less overhead, fewer layers and no passing your project between departments that have never spoken to you.
You deal directly with the people doing the work, which means we get to know your business properly, can move quickly when something needs changing and don't disappear the second your website goes live.
Small studio. Big ideas. Minimal nonsense.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
We believe websites should be:
Professional enough to build confidence.
Simple enough to use.
Flexible enough to grow.
Reliable enough to trust.
And unique enough to feel like the business they represent.
