A little more about meWith over fifteen years’ experience working in the digital sector, Martin has encompassed a high level of skill and experience. As Technical Director, Martin is our resident technical expert who oversees all technical ideas and outputs.

Project Spotlight - Barrett SteelBarrett Steel came to Pixelbuilders because as a leading brand, working alongside organisations such as the MOD, they needed a technical partner who could support both their marketing ambitions but align them with solid and secure platforms. 
As an agency, these types of projects are what excite our team as we are able to demonstrate our expertise and support the client in a variety of areas beyond just design and build including:
  • Consolidation and management of their over 100 domains which were held across multiple providers, into one manged solution
  • Architecting an AWS hosting environment incorporating resilience security alongside their IT team 
  • Support of their suite of websites including hosting and SSL certificates 
  • Collaboration with their info-sec partner Logically Secure to ensure they meet the ASVS and AWOSP requirements.
