Who are the 449?

The 449 is a collective of awesome blog designers and developers who have come together to form one of the best blog design agencies on the web. We’re experts in creating usable, accessible and beautiful blogs based on Wordpress and many other platforms.

So you just make blogs?

Well, actually no. Wordpress is such a flexible platform, and our knowledge of it is so extensive, that we can use it to create anything from powerful web applications to simple brochure websites.

What have you made in the past?

Why not take a quick peek at our portfolio for some great examples of our past work.

How can a 449 design help my blog grow?

The 449 was started by Chris Garrett, a User Experience design expert. Employing good user experience in a blog helps readers discover new content, read your blog more effectively and convert to subscribers. Our expert knowledge of creating accessible websites means your blog will be fully readable to visually and physically impaired users.

We also employ the latest Search Engine Optimisation techniques, along with our super clean code, to make sure new visitors see your content first when searching for content.

Why bother using Wordpress for brochure sites? Aren’t they cheaper to make static?

Well building sites which might traditionally have been static on Wordpress actually doesn’t require a huge amount of additional work and ensures that you’ll be able to maintain, expand and update your own website, no need for retainers!
