About Solve: What makes us buzz?

The runaway success of Solve Web Media is built on the success we bring our clients

About Our SEO & Web Design Agency

Why Solve?

With an ethos built around the success of our clients, we work with a string of trailblazing companies who care about what they do, and the effect their actions have on future generations. It’s why we love what we do, and it empowers us to consider the upcoming generations too. Take our main website hosting servers, for example, they are run on 100% renewable energy, while our office is powered by renewable sources, keeping our environmental impact low. We’re sustainable digital gurus with socially conscious attitudes to the modern working world.

Our Story

Throwing it back to 1998 – the year Google itself was formed – our founder, Lawrence Harmer, first started to design websites. Fast forward more than two decades and you’ll find a creative digital design agency with over 300 clients, and a growing number of Cornwall’s top creative marketing experts, all hand-picked by us.

Our Influence

With a combined skill set covering all aspects of digital marketing, from SEO and content optimisation to website design and video production, we use data-driven strategies that really pack a punch. The results are staggering though, a recent website optimisation project created a 106% traffic increase over four months, generating more sales in that third of a year compared to the previous two years combined.

Essentially, we use a complete spectrum of skill sets to deliver an integrated solution to website creation and digital marketing. When you work with a company who cares as much as we do, you can rest assured that while your website will create a big impact online, your ecological footprint will be minimal.

Our Commitments

The purpose of our company is to promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole and, through its business and operations, to have a material positive impact on society and the environment. So much so, we have written this into our companies house information. This includes the local environment, world environment, community, team and anything else we can do to make this planet better. We commit to serve at least 75% local and independent clients. 99% of our clients are currently independent.

Highly professional and proficient and worthy of much praise!

I've had nothing but rave reviews from friends and family and everyone who's seen my new website! This is a company and a team you can truly trust!read more

What a team at Solve Web Media. Amazing design, fantastic copywriting and great technical knowledge. Solve just built our new website for Green and Rock and within a week the traffic to the site had gone through the roof! Lawrence (the friendly boss!) took time to understand our business - building luxury homes in Cornwall and we worked together to benchmark the competition as well as to look for the best design from our industry, but also others in architecture and design as well. Mia did an amazing job at design. Claire's copywriting was fantastic, and Keavy coordinated the whole thing brilliantly. The rest of the team were all involved on technical and SEO work which was great. A brand new amazing website in just 4 weeks. A Big Thankyou to everyone at Solve.read more

I have just finished my three days work experience with solve and i can say how incredibly skilled and friendly the team is! This was my first time working in an office environment and there wasn't a point in time where i felt uncomfortable or unwelcome, with the team constantly supporting and helping me as I worked with new software. Each member has vast knowledge for every compartment of website design and marketing, what I could do in twenty minutes they could in two. From this I gained in depth experience of creative software such as adobe illustrator, which I can now apply to future college or independent work. Over the three days I was tasked with designing my own business with the end goal being to create a logo for that business. First I created a brief explaining what my business is about and what it represents which encouraged me to do some research into similar brands and companies in order to make my brand identity fit its function. Once this was finished and checked by the team I could move on to creating my logo, which i found very enjoyable as I had complete freedom with solve’s advanced software. The team were always open to questions if I got stuck, and they ultimately sent me in the right direction to create a great logo that I was happy with.Marketing and web design is a subject not often covered in education, so I was glad that I could get a taste of it in a proper but fun work environment. Thank you Solve!read more

Fantastic, eye opening and massively valuable. Just a few words that come into my head when I think about my recent meeting and consultation with Solve. Lawrence, through an incredible knowledge base, was able to offer transparent but fully usable advice and help for both the direction of my business and of course web movement. It enabled me to focus on things I'd missed but more importantly get back on track with our true vision. Regardless of where you are in your businesses journey, I'd highly recommend meeting with Solve. It'll enable a fresh perspective from an extremely intelligent company.read more

Where to start! Firstly I am surprised to see other reviews here since Solve made us feel like the digital world revolved around us. We have historically been let down hugely 3 times so were very cautious about commissioning the work however Team Solve were patient in answering all our questions and a relationship has been formed. Team Solve have restored our faith in the world of digital. The values of honesty and integrity flow from the top down throughout the company and if one was ever in doubt, chat with the chap at the top - does he seem like someone that would let you down?read more

I moved to Cornwall to open a B&B but didn’t know anyone who could help me with my website, but I got lucky when a fellow B&B owner recommended Lawrence at Solve Web Media and I’m so glad because my website is fresh, contemporary and stands out from the crowd and it reflects the B&B perfectly.Lawrence takes the time to get to know you and really find out what you expect from a website. He knows that I am hopeless with anything technical but he guided me through every stage and I’m delighted with the finished website that is bring me lots of business and great reviews.
