We design, build and run
accessible, usable and reliable web sites.
We have substantial experience right across the spectrum of web development skills:
Whether it’s a simple brochure site, a large repository or an interactive application; a complete rebrand or an adaptation of an existing one, Minervation can put together the right team to deliver it on time and within budget.
The best way to build an effective website is to put the user at the centre of the development process from the outset. Our project managers can help you to bring them in on the process using research methods appropriate to your aims and your budget.
We believe that all websites need to be accessible, and can make sure that you meet the legal requirements with respect to W3C WAI criteria.
We work with a broad team of freelance designers and design agencies who specialise in creating functional and engaging designs for digital content.
It’s not always about flaming logos and fancy animations. Specialist content needs a specialist eye to make sure that your messages are accessible to and usable by your audience, as in the ACAMH Topic Guides.
We can build on your existing design assets, or create a whole new visual brand identity, logo and online presence from scratch, as we did for the IDEAL Collaboration.
WordPress is one of the leading content management systems in the world. It’s used on 15% of the top 1m websites because it’s free and it does everything you need from a web CMS. We use it a lot because it’s stable, it comes with great functionality, and it can be customised easily.
Our team has extensive experience in building applications based on the WordPress CMS. We can also provide ongoing technical support to make sure that your website remains secure and up to date.
We also offer bespoke development services, allowing you to create a system that’s specifically designed for your needs from the ground up. Although this approach is probably more costly in the short term, bespoke systems can be easier to maintain in the long run.
We’ve got experience in areas as diverse as e-learning, patient information databases and web tools for the self-management of chronic conditions.
You’ll want your web site to evolve over time as your needs change, keeping pace with new technology, such as social media or web video. We can act as your technical partner to ensure that you’re not left behind.
Our clients include The Association for Child and Adolescent Mental Health, The EQUATOR Network and the AGREE Enterprise.

"Minervation took a lead on all the parts of this redesign: interviewing users, identifying their needs, reorganising the menu and site structure, designing a new visual interface, and implementing the solution in Wordpress. They moved the old content into the new space and helped us get started publishing new content.
They’ve been attentive to accessibility issues and best practices for communicating effectively on the web, nudging us gently when they room for improvement.
We are so happy with the end result, and have gotten lots of unsolicited praise from end users. We’ve also become better content producers ourselves. Thank you so much!!!"
