15 Years in the Making
I’m Scott the founder of Kahunam. My journey to founding Kahunam stems from over 15 years of web development experience. I have been coding websites since before “mobile responsive” was a thing. But when it came to education, I ended up taking Marketing rather than Computer Science. I then worked in Edinburgh and London leading marketing across a range of startups. I later felt spurred on to start my own entrepreneurial journey, so I took the leap and transitioned to the nomadic life – working on freelance marketing and development projects, from my laptop in places hot and cold all over the world. Now I lead the team at Kahunam, including our network of design and development talent. And all the past clients? there still with us.
We’re on a mission to create exceptional web experiences that are as much aesthetic as they are effective. We care about putting effort in to do things right from the get go, so you have a great experience and don’t end up stuck in the future with a broken website that’s a nightmare to edit.
So far we can count brands from UK, USA, Spain & Hong Kong on our client list. Where’s next? Why not speak with me and team on a discovery call, we can explore some options that fit your needs and check we’re a good fit.
We set-out to do things differently than other agencies. When you work with us you’ll get:
Honest Advice
Tailored to your budget and use-case as opposed to simply trying to sell you the solution that is easiest to deliver but ends up locking you in to painful and slow future website updates, and expensive & opaque maintenance fees.
Creative Input
We won’t give you cookie cutter suggestions that only just meet your requirements. We know that you are looking for a partner that can understand your brand and goals – take your brief and run with it. You’ll benefit from different perspectives and ideas – while still staying in control of the final output.
Real Expertise
It’s not smoke and mirrors, our team do know their stuff. And they get dedicated time to learn more and keep up to date as things change. This means we won’t pack your website with hundreds of bloated plugins and patchwork fixes – we’ll do it properly from the get go.
Team Values
+
Be worthy of people’s trust
Foster a culture of mutual support and make decisions that benefit the team as a whole.
+
Do it properly
If you’re going to do it, you might as well do it properly. Strive to deliver the best possible results. Take time to reflect on the process, it’s how we uncover better approaches and keep our quality high.
+
Be fair
Just be fair. If something doesn’t work out as expected, try to imagine each person’s perspective. Seek a solution that’s reasonable and fair. There’s room in the business world for the nice guys too.
+
Always be learning
Get real – things are changing quickly. Commit to learning new things and bring the discipline to see it through. Remember that synergies unlock later in the learning process, so be open to trying radically new learning experiences.
+
Be authentic
Approach work with enthusiasm and genuine dedication, allowing your true self to shine through.
+
Think like an Octopus
Embrace adaptability, problem-solving, and multi-tasking. Like an octopus with its multiple arms and ability to change colour and shape, we should be adaptable and sharp.
+
Have hospitality in the heart
Create a welcoming and caring environment for both clients and team members. Build lasting and supportive relationships. Let’s keep the human in business (or octopus).
+
Question the status quo and innovate
Just because you learnt it one way, or best practices is “x” and “y”. It doesn’t mean it’s the best way. Accept that better ideas are out there and enjoy the process of uncovering them.
