Last Friday, the whole team got together for our annual all-hands Summit...

It was our biggest yet, we spent the morning giving company updates across departments, open floors, and then on to lunch at a firm fan favourite - Kongs.

It's days like these that remind you how strong the team is, and a great opportunity to look back on everything we've achieved over the year.

Here's to our team 🥂

When we build an eCommerce store for a client, data quality is one of the first things we think about.

Bad data creates expensive problems. Wrong addresses, failed deliveries, messy customer records, and more pressure on support.

That's why we bring in . Their address lookup, autocomplete, phone and email validation slot straight into the sites and applications we build, so the data going in is right the first time.

We've partnered with Fetchify because we've seen the difference it makes to conversion, and to the workload on support teams after launch.

If you're planning a new build, or wondering whether your existing site could benefit from cleaner checkout data, let's talk. We can help you add it in.

We've reached a point where almost every answer is available online.

Frameworks.
Templates.
Playbooks.
Prompt libraries.

They're useful, buuuuuut they're no substitute for pattern recognition.

Knowing *why* something worked.
Knowing *when* it won't.
Knowing what to ignore.

That's the bit of experience gives you, and that's becoming more valuable.

If you want to talk to a team that knows what they're talking about, and have the proof to back it up...

You know where to find us 😉

Two years of Charlie. 🎉

In that time, she's kept projects moving, clients happy, teams organised...
..and provided a constant soundtrack of completely random noises throughout the office.

It's never quiet when she's around, and for that, we're thankful.

Thanks for everything you've done over the last two years, Charlie. Here's to many more.

Happy work anniversary!

We're lucky that our job means we get to speak to lots of different eCommerce businesses every week.

What's interesting is that, while every business is different, the challenges are often surprisingly similar.

- Growing profitably.
- Getting more from your platform.
- Making better marketing decisions.
- Knowing what to prioritise next.

We thought it was about time those conversations happened in the same room.

That's what this event is all about.

Last Thursday, the Aware marketing team headed to Digital Thursday’s July Summer Meetup, hosted with Venture Café Manchester.

The evening focused on AI and how it is changing the digital landscape, from the way businesses approach creativity and productivity to the bigger questions around where the technology is taking us.

We heard from Rebecca Fox, Craig A. Taylor & David Edmundson-Bird in a fireside chat, with plenty of useful insights, honest conversations, and ideas for us to bring back to the team.

Thanks to Digital Thursday and Venture Café Manchester for bringing everyone together. We’re already looking forward to the next one.

What is the biggest change AI has made to the way you work?

🎉 This month, we’re celebrating 1 year of Dan at Aware Digital.

Dan first joined us as a placement student a couple of years ago, and he was so great we had him back for a full-time role a year ago & we've never looked back.

When asked what his favourite thing about working here is, he said: "Definitely the people, sometimes the work is hard, but the fact you're in a very chill and fun environment makes it all the less stressful."

Here’s to many more years of growth, innovation, and outstanding work.

We’ve landed in Málaga for Hyvä’s Developers’ Paradise.

Stu & Umar are there for 3 days of talks, workshops, and catching up with people right in the middle of shaping where Magento frontend is heading.

It’s exciting to be out here for it. Proper focus on performance, cleaner builds, and swapping ideas with people who actually live and breathe it.

Don't be shy... come say hello if you see us!
