About
Make the right decisions and good things happen. That’s the philosophy behind DesignKarma, where we believe a great website is the result of lots of small decisions.
Armed with a strong sense of aesthetics, usability and technicality, DesignKarma is striving to make the web a better place. Everything we do is simple, focused and easy to use.
DesignKarma is a web design and development agency located in Altrincham, just outside Manchester, England. My name is Ian Ebden and I’ve been a web designer since 1997, serving as a creative lead for a number of prominent UK agencies before starting DesignKarma in 2007. DesignKarma has worked with clients as diverse as The Kirsty Club charity and the NHS, to large multinationals like Intel and Fujifilm.
What makes DesignKarma different?
Whereas some agencies have a creative bias and some are purely technical, DesignKarma aims for both creative and technical excellence. Artist and geek in perfect harmony!
