The Pixels
Grizzly Pumpkin is led by Tom, a web designer and developer based in the UK with over a decade of experience designing and building websites and web applications for businesses of all sizes, from local start-ups to established brands.
Tom started his career working for marketing agencies, honing his skills across a wide range of brochure and e-commerce projects. Since then, he's worked with large UK organisations building bespoke member management solutions, and with businesses building high-performance SaaS platforms.
We love what we do, and we're passionate about creating websites that not only look great but are fast, accessible, and built to grow with your business.
Skills &
Tech Stack
These are the core technologies and tools we use to build modern, high-performance websites and applications. This is not everything we use, as we ensure the tools we use perfectly fit the needs of your project.
Laravel
Over 10 years of experience with the PHP framework we use for building robust, scalable web applications and APIs.
Statamic
Our go-to content management system for client sites. Built on Laravel, it gives content editors a beautiful experience without the bloat of traditional CMSs. Our site is powered by Statamic!
Tailwind CSS
A utility-first CSS framework that allows us to rapidly build bespoke designs without fighting against opinionated component libraries.
Alpine.js
A lightweight JavaScript framework for adding interactivity. Perfect for dropdowns, modals, and dynamic UI without the overhead of a full SPA.
Performance & Accessibility
Every project is built with speed and accessibility at the forefront. Fast load times and inclusive design are non-negotiable in the modern web.
Green Hosting
We work with green-powered hosting providers, helping to reduce the environmental impact of the websites we build and manage.
Our Approach
We believe the best websites come from a genuine understanding of the business behind them. That's why every project starts with listening to understand your goals, your audience, and the challenges you face.
We don't use templates. Every design is crafted from scratch, tailored to your brand and your users' needs. We focus on clarity, performance, and usability, building sites that your customers will find intuitive and your team will find easy to manage.
Communication is at the heart of how we work. You'll never be left wondering what's happening with your project. Regular updates, clear milestones, and honest feedback are what you can expect at every stage.
Even after launch, we're here. Whether it's ongoing maintenance, new features, or simply advice as your business evolves, we're invested in the long-term success of every project we work on.
