Luke Trimmings
Managing Director
Luke leads on strategy and creative for our clients. He becomes a friend that you can rely on. Always available for a chat and to give advice, provided there's coffee in his mug.
We are a Wordpress & Magento Web Development Agency based in the heart of Bristol. Over the years, we have developed a tried and tested methodology for building secure, effective and SEO friendly websites and web applications for ambitious businesses.
Focused in our approach, we won't profess to being a ‘jack of all trades’. Instead, we work as an extension to your marketing team to support in developing the right digital solution that will get results. While we don’t specialise in areas like branding, social or PPC, we are lucky to have a network of talented external freelancers and agencies we partner with to help provide an end-to-end solution that meets your requirements.
Started by our two co-founders (and lifelong friends) Luke and Ben, Appeal started life as a digital publishing SaaS business in 2011. Since then, the two founders have shared a passion for supporting business owners in growing and making marketing easier.

Here are a list of questions we regularly get asked by clients starting new projects. If you have a question that hasn't been answered here, message us on Facebook using the link below or drop us an email at info@appeal.digital.
We build bespoke wordpress websites and we work to a very high standard in ensuring that not only the project is delivered well and on time, but that we also make sure that the strategy is right from the beginning. Because of this, we’re not the cheapest, but we do offer starter websites from £1,500 ex VAT. Although the typical value of a website project with Appeal is usually around £5,000 – £7,000 ex VAT.
Our hosting starts at £25 ex VAT per calendar month and goes up depending on your requirements, the amount and location of traffic hitting your site alongside other factors. To learn more, and talk to us about your requirements, get in touch.
The average project takes around 3 to 4 months from our first strategy meeting through to deployment. However, some larger ecommerce and web application projects can take longer.
Yes. We happily support a number of clients in managing websites and applications built externally.
Appeal started life as a mobile app development company in 2011. As technologies evolved and changed, co-founders Luke and Ben set up a new company focussed on web development in early 2017 that came to be Appeal Digital.
We have a wealth of experience in building mobile applications, and come from a background of native app development. Most apps these days are built using web technologies given how efficient and fast modern mobile devices are. This means that we are able to work with clients to use modern web technologies to deliver best-in-class mobile application solutions.
Case Study – Take a look at the Legal Insider App.
We guarantee our clients 99.99% in uptime. This means that over 365 days of the year, we guarantee your website would never be offline for more than 52 minutes and 35.7 seconds.
No. All of our work is delivered in-house by our team in Bristol.
Our in-house team offer full stack technical development and specialist web design capabilities. We are very focussed as an agency, so we’re big advocates of forming strategic partnerships with consultants, freelancers and other creative agencies to provide an end-to-end solution for our clients when they require additional input as part of a project.
