We're excited to officially say it: The new Mantle Development website is live.
As a software development agency based near Leeds in Yorkshire, our website is often the first place people come to understand who we are, how we work, and whether we're the right fit for their project. Over time, our old site no longer reflected how Mantle Development had grown – so we decided it was time for a fresh start.
This launch isn't just about a new design. It's about clearly communicating our values, our approach to software development, and the kind of partnerships we want to build.
Why We Built a New Website
At Mantle Development, we believe good software is built holistically – with a clear understanding of people, processes, and long-term goals. Ironically, our old website didn't fully live up to that philosophy.
Here's what we wanted our new site to achieve:
- Clearly explain what we do and how we help
- Reflect our cooperative and proactive approach
- Showcase our work in a way that's easy to understand
- Improve performance, accessibility, and SEO
- Be a site we actually enjoy sharing (and updating!)
In short: we wanted a digital home that feels like us.
A Website Built Around Our Values
Everything we do at Mantle Development is guided by a small set of core values. The new website was designed and built with these front and centre.
🤝 Cooperation First
We're not a "throw it over the fence" software development agency. We work with our clients, not just for them.
The new site focuses heavily on collaboration:
- Clear explanations of our process
- Emphasis on long-term partnerships
- Language that invites conversation, not confusion
Whether you're a startup founder in Leeds or an established business elsewhere in the UK, our goal is to feel like an extension of your team.
🔗 A Holistic Approach to Software Development
We don't just write code – we solve problems.
Our new website reflects our holistic approach to software development, considering:
- Business objectives
- Users and accessibility
- Scalability and maintainability
- Technology choices that make sense long term
Instead of buzzwords, we focus on clarity. You should be able to understand why we recommend certain solutions, not just what we build.
🚀 Proactive, Not Reactive
Great software teams don't wait for problems, they anticipate them.
From clearer service pages to better explanations of how we support clients post-launch, the new site highlights our proactive mindset. We want potential clients to know that we think ahead, ask the right questions early, and help avoid costly surprises later on.
⚡ Pragmatic and Grounded in Reality
Software development, like most things, can seem incomprehensible when you're not comfortable with it.
We make sure we keep things simple. No fluff. No over-engineering. Just practical, maintainable software that delivers value. The website mirrors this mindset with clear language, simple navigation, and down to earth explanations.
✨ And Yes, We Like to Have Fun With It
Software development doesn't have to be dull, and neither should agency websites.
You'll notice a warmer tone, subtle humour, and a more human feel throughout the site. That's intentional. We enjoy what we do, and we believe projects work best when people actually enjoy working together.
Designed and Built for Performance
As a software development agency near Leeds, it would be pretty embarrassing if our own site didn't meet modern technical standards.
Our new website is:
- Fast and performant – Optimised for speed and efficiency
- Mobile-first and responsive – Works beautifully on all devices
- Built with accessibility in mind – Usable by everyone
- SEO-optimised from the ground up – Designed to be found
We've paid close attention to technical SEO, site structure, and page speed – not just for rankings, but for real users. After all, good SEO and good user experience should go hand in hand.
Strengthening Our Yorkshire Roots
While we work with clients across the UK, Mantle Development is proudly based near Leeds, Yorkshire. Our new site makes that clearer than ever.
Being a local software development agency means:
- We understand regional businesses and challenges
- We can build strong, long-term relationships
- We value straight-talking, practical solutions
Yorkshire has a thriving digital and tech scene, and we're proud to be part of it.
What This Means for Our Clients
For existing clients, nothing changes – except it's now easier to point people to a website that accurately represents how we work.
For new visitors, the new Mantle Development website should make it easier to:
- Understand if we're the right software development partner
- Learn how we approach projects
- Start a conversation without pressure or sales jargon
If the site helps even one business feel more confident about starting a software project, it's done its job.
What's Next?
A website launch is never really "finished". We'll be:
- Adding more blog content around:
- Software development
- IT & Dev Ops
- Process Development
- IT Support
- Sharing insights from real projects
- Continuing to refine and improve the site based on feedback
Just like our software projects, this site will evolve over time.
If you're looking for a software development agency in Leeds or Yorkshire that values cooperation, takes a holistic and proactive approach, and enjoys the process along the way, we'd love to hear from you.
Welcome to the new digital home of Mantle Development.
