David Domingos · Leeds
The principalWho actually does the work.
Founder and principal · Design, copy, build, SEO, paid
David Domingos runs Lucent out of Leeds. He is the person you brief and the person who builds it. Design, copy, search and paid ads are one pair of hands here, which is the reason a brief still says at launch what it said at the start.
There are no account managers, no juniors learning on your project, and nothing subcontracted out of the room. When you call, David answers. When the site goes live, the person who made the decisions is the person who explains them.
The work is on the record with names against it. Every case study on the work page is a real business that agreed to be named, and every figure came from their reports rather than ours. No number on this site has been rounded up to look better.

How the studio works.
Five rules, all of them already in force on this site. The pieces underneath say why each one costs us work and why we keep it anyway.
02
We say the awkward thing first.
Every city page names where a competitor has the advantage. Every retainer says an inherited site may need fixing before it can perform. The limit stated up front is the reason the rest is believed.
03
The page does the qualifying.
One person can ship about four builds a quarter, so the site is written to turn away work that will not win. Most enquiries are told no, quickly and with a reason.
04
Nothing off a template. Nothing off a stock site.
Every section is designed for the job it has to do, and every picture is made for the page or taken from the work. A site that could belong to anyone belongs to no one.
05
Every number has a name on it.
Case studies carry the client's name and their own figures, taken from their reports. The work is judged on the enquiries it wins, and the client is the one keeping score.
What clients actually say.
Within two weeks of launching the new site, we saw a 37% increase in quote requests.
David GrayshonProcon 24/7He researched our sector before writing a single word, and asked better questions than agencies three times his size.
Neil GallagherGoogle reviewWe didn't think a website could feel like us, but this does. Our regulars kept saying it looks exactly like Andrews.
Johnny HuntAndrews of HolmfirthHe wanted me to be the most satisfied client he had, because he wasn't going to let that referral down.
