Hot Beans Web
Who we are
Hot Beans Web was formed in 2014 by brothers Mark and Stewart from the modest surroundings of their West Bridgford family home. After graduating in Computer Science from Leicester University in 2013 the brothers initially began building websites for the businesses of family and friends, their passion and talent as web developers quickly saw their business expand.
Now based in a modern and vibrant office in the centre of Nottingham, the company has grown to more than 100 associates and our mission is to provide a collaborative and exciting workplace that allows our developers to shine.
We are an award winning and innovative web design agency working with some of the best small to medium sized businesses in the Midlands. We work closely with our clients to create a brief for the design of informative, enticing and bespoke websites.
But we don't just leave it there as we offer a full management package to allow for content and format updates to ensure the website continues to evolve and adapt to the client's changing business needs.
