About Higher Ground
We make it easier to see, do, find or buy whatever people need on desktop, mobile, laptop or tablet.
Our dedicated team research, design and implement clear, convincing, customer-oriented digital strategies that meet the requirements of targeted users, often surpassing our clients’ expectations.
At the peak of Higher Ground’s collective expertise is ‘User Experience’ (UX) and conversion rate optimization (CRO).
We provide specialised support for businesses to succeed.
For many years we have designed websites and apps; supported marketing campaigns; facilitated workshops and resolved complex digital issues to improve customer experiences online.
"We approached Higher Ground in need of a new website and web app for our client. We wanted both to be engaging as well as useful, so investing in an experienced UX designer was our number 1 priority.
Our client was unsure of the exact specification they needed and so Higher Ground delivered workshops to establish the best route of action. The team at Higher Ground supported us through this process at all times allowing us to fine-tune the specification needed and deliver the final design"
Paul KutSChmarski - CTO, Web Presence
