Door4 leadership & team.
We’re not going to deep-dive into confessions like “I sing in a punk band at the weekends” or “I write Harry Potter fanfiction” or even “I spend time on Flight Simulator but it’s not a game”.
But it’s only right you should know more about who you’ll be working with. We’ll keep it work-related for now. You can quiz us on how much of the above is true another time.

Teams
Door4 comprises an Acquisition Team, Conversion Team, the Web Development Team, Client Services and the Project Management team – a typical agency structure.
In practice, everyone works together. We have a “work together” policy (we operate a hybrid approach – but prefer to be together more than we’re apart.) We also ensure plenty of space for hot-desking with different teams and breakout areas.
It’s not unusual for the kitchen to be stuffed with people who have gathered to trouble-shoot a problem while making a brew; if you ask them who called the meeting, they’re never sure how they got there but felt a mysterious calling…
We put it down to the preternatural connections that teams develop over time. Or a synchronous need for cake/caffeine (delete as appropriate).
What’s different about Door4?
What feels less typical about Door4 – the thing that makes us stand out from other agencies – is the relationship. Or, rather, the relationships.
From the welcome to your ongoing monthly meetings and everything in between, it’s very clear we consider ourselves as a team within your business.
We integrate. We care. We go above and beyond. We’re genuinely invested in your success – after all, it’s our success too.
Our team is diverse and multi-skilled. We recruit for skill, but we also recruit for a good fit to the team. We aim to bring out the best in each other – competitive, encouraging, challenging, with the aim of improving all the time – for us and for our clients.
-
All our clients have a dedicated account manager, with larger clients having the benefit of a secondary account manager for additional support. Taking full ownership, they liaise between you and the rest of Door4, though it’s also in our culture to give you direct contact with consultants and specialists too.

As a web development agency, we’re naturally agnostic when it comes to platforms. Our developers know WordPress, WooCommerce, Magento 2 and Drupal inside out and can code robust bespoke platforms where something specific is required.
