Eight Engines
Eight Engines needed a refreshed website to better mirror their brand and enhance the user experience. Other goals included a new user-friendly CMS, better technical SEO, and improved performance.
Outcome
A complete redesign and build on Webflow replaced the outdated Squarespace platform. This led to a vastly better user experience and advanced SEO enhancements, all in a sleek, edgy design that truly represents the Eight Engines brand.
The redesigned site now effectively draws more relevant visitors, improves conversion rates, and fosters business growth. We also streamlined the backend, making content management easy for non-technical staff, ensuring the site's long-term appeal and engagement.
Ben Stokes
In collaboration with Ben Stokes and his PR team, we embarked on creating his first official website. The objective was to encapsulate his cricketing career in a digital space, offering a blend of personal insights, sponsor links, and press updates. The design needed to be both sleek and edgy, reflecting Ben's personal brand, while also ensuring ease of use and strong SEO presence.
Outcome
A modern and stylish website that mirrors Ben Stokes' distinct personal brand, effectively showcasing his sponsors and delivering frequent updates to fans and media. The site features a streamlined Webflow CMS, customised for his PR team, facilitating easy content management and ensuring it remains a timely and key resource for all things Ben.
The Rosie Glow
Following a rebrand and fresh business direction, The Rosie Glow required a redesign that aligned their website with the new offerings and brand.

Outcome
The reimagined website for The Rosie Glow effectively mirrors its refreshed brand and services. Integrating seamlessly with Mailchimp and Timely, it elevates the client experience with streamlined marketing and simplified booking without leaving the site. This rejuvenated online platform is a vibrant testament to The Rosie Glow's exciting new chapter.

What are the advantages of using a smaller web design agency?
Personalised relationships
When you work with a small agency such as Riot & Rebel, you're not just another client. We'll get to know you on a personal level and will be truly invested in your success. Typically this type of personal touch is lost when working with larger agencies who experience staff turnover and often have to juggle resources.
Value for money
As our overheads are significantly lower than a large web agency, we're able to offer more competitive pricing for our services. Put simply, your budget will go a further with us.
Flexibility & speed
Being a small tight-knit team, we're able to adapt quickly to changes and ensure fast turnaround times, something which larger web agencies will often struggle to match due to their processes and internal setup.
Specialised service
We are a web design agency through and through. Our web services and products are all geared around creating and managing high performance websites. It's what we excel at. Typically larger agencies will offer a whole array of marketing and creative services which can often lead to working with less specialised people.
What content management systems do you use?
We specialise in Webflow CMS implementations, which offer a user-friendly interface and seamless integration capabilities. Moreover, to optimise performance, many of our smaller managed websites are deployed as static sites, providing fast loading speeds and a smooth user experience.
