Understanding how we work

At the heart of our operations lie three fundamental principles: a commitment to solutions, a user-centric approach, and an unwavering focus on returns. Whether it's navigating challenges, enhancing user interactions, or surpassing ROI goals, rest assured, you're in capable hands to rise to it with Ascend.

Simple problems = simple solutions

When all is said and done, we’re programmers. We solve your problems by creating or updating software to meet your needs.

We specialise heavily in Laravel development, which is a premier tool that stands at the forefront of crafting sophisticated websites and applications. Laravel’s foundation allows us to build highly flexible, scalable and usable solutions that are safe, secure and robust, which is why it’s trusted by many world-renowned brands too.

Experience centric from start to finish

Design in digital is so much more than just about how things look; it’s about their User Experience.

We focus on your end-user’s overall interaction with your solution, ensuring that it’s intuitive, efficient, and satisfying to use. Whilst colour and layouts can certainly enhance aesthetics and appeal, our approach digs deeper into the psychology of users, understanding their needs, preferences, and potential pain points.

Results driven & ROI conscious

For anything spent, there has to be a greater value given in return.

By emphasising a results-driven and ROI-centric approach, we clearly showcase Ascend’s tangible impact. This not only optimises our resources but also strengthens client trust too. By delivering consistent outcomes, we evolve from a service provider to a valued business partner you have full confidence in.

Think of us as the key to your success

We can drive your business forward in a modern age

The Car Park People were one of the first brands Ascend was proud to call a customer. Their airport-based operations create technical challenges to overcome as their operating hours are typically what you’d call out-of-hours. This means a flexible and agile approach is required for maintenance, launches and support for when their teams may need it most. We’re proud to hold the keys to their custom-made parking software, their shuttle bus application and direct-to-consumer brand, parkingatmanchesterairport.com.
