Beyond the standard website

Since 2001 we've worked with training providers in Gloucester, web agencies in Cirencester, and hotels in Cheltenham. Where any web designer can create a pretty website, we create functional, effective and complex web solutions that enhance your business.

Founded by three school friends from Marling School in Stroud, Gloucestershire, Bluelinemedia continues to provide in-house PHP code from our offices in Cheltenham.

Personal service

If you've tried offshore development, you'll know how hard it is to manage a project from thousands of miles away. Freelance developers are great, until they get another job. Our Gloucestershire agency offers personal, local support, and there's always someone available.

What size agency are we?

Get the level of support you need from a team of six and your dedicated account manager.

Is web development expensive?

Control your costs by using a small agency without high overheads or typical software house rates.

How do we develop your website?

From design and help with requirements, through bespoke in-house coding, to rigid testing and launch support, we can get you there.

Oxford Wine Company

"A very proactive company who tailored their work exactly to suit our bespoke requirements on budget and understanding. Not job too small and easy to understand - no techno babble. We will be using them again."

FAQs

Do you only work with businesses in Cheltenham?

While our main office is in Cheltenham, our roots are in Stroud (Marling School), and we work with clients across the entire county and beyond. Whether you are based in Gloucester, Cirencester, Tewkesbury, or the Forest of Dean, we are happy to visit or arrange a video call to find out what you need.

Why choose a local Gloucestershire developer over a national agency?

Two words: Accountability and Context. We understand the local economy—from the manufacturing hubs in the Stroud valleys to the Cyber Central tech scene in Cheltenham. Plus, if you have a complex software issue, we are just a short drive away, not a timezone apart.

Can you integrate my website with my existing business tools?

Yes. This is our speciality. We frequently help Gloucestershire firms sync their websites or custom software with tools like Xero, Sage, and various CRMs. Our goal is to eliminate double-entry and save your admin team hours of manual work every week.

Do you offer Web Design or Web Software?

We do both, but we focus on Functional Web Design. We believe a website in should be more than a digital brochure; it should be a business tool that helps you work better.

How long does a typical project take?

Because we write handmade code rather than using restrictive templates, timelines vary. A standard bespoke website might take 6-8 weeks, while a complex piece of automation software could take 6 months. We can work with you to fit your budget and deadlines, often launching a simple 'mvp' project and then continuing to grow.

Can I come and meet the team?

Absolutely. We've been a fixture in the Gloucestershire business community since 2001. You are always welcome to visit our Cheltenham office to meet James, Simon, Ben, Justin, Sirbastian and Hayden, who will actually be working with you and writing your code.
