Who we are

Our services include design and usability, development, digital strategy, eCommerce, integrated marketing, project management and our online collaboration and eLearning system Schoolbox.
We’re passionate about technology, creativity and how the web is changing the world and believe a forward thinking attitude leads to success. We don’t say no to big ideas and enjoy working with a diverse range of clients on quality projects delivering innovative digital solutions that are both creative and cutting edge.
We enjoy collaborating with both our clients and other agency partners. Our in-house team comprises some of the best digital strategists, project managers, systems architects, interactive designers and web developers.
Independently owned, the company was founded through the collaboration and subsequent merge of three entrepreneurial businesses in March 2009.
After working together for over eight years, Directors James Leckie, Sean Richards and Matthew Sambell combined their talents and resources to create Alaress. Our brand is unique and if interested, you can learn where the name came from.
The mutual vision shared by our Directors has ensured that for over 10 years Alaress has been supplying exceptional digital work. We’ve enjoyed continual growth through our high profile client base across a diverse range of industries and if the fit is right, would feel privileged to add you as a valued client.
