About Us

Sol Harris of Purple Dog
Purple Dog Design was established in 2002 by Sol Harris. Since then, our business has grown from strength to strength, serving an ever growing list of international clients.
Our customers take confidence in our ability to quickly understand their web and e-marketing objectives and to deliver professional, realistic solutions that produce sustainable results.
We give nothing less than 100% commitment to our customers – from the start, through the project, and beyond. Our extensive creative and technical expertise, and many years of experience, means that you can be sure we will not only meet, but exceed your expectations.
How we work
When you contact us, we realise you may not have all the answers. Naturally, every customer is different and each has different requirements, budgets and time-scales. We will take the time to consult with you – either via Skype, over the phone, or face to face – to fully understand your project brief and discuss your business objectives.
We will provide you with our written recommendations, including our costs. Once we have both decided to proceed, we will work with you to create agreed objectives, a schedule of work, specific milestones and an overall time-frame.
