As an award winning business we know a thing or two about sustainability.

Most of us think about sustainability in terms of recycling, using less plastic, or switching to LED bulbs… but here’s something local businesses don’t realise:

Your website and digital tools have a carbon footprint too.

Even the cleanest, best designed website still uses electricity every time someone loads a page and globally, all of that digital activity is adding up. If the internet were a country, it would be one of the world’s biggest polluters, simply because of all the servers, devices, and data centres powering it behind the scenes.

But here’s the good news:

Small digital choices make a big difference.

For local businesses, community projects, and independent organisations like ours, sustainability isn’t about perfection, it’s about awareness and taking small, meaningful steps.

A few questions to ask yourself:

How efficient is your website? Is your hosting powered by renewable energy? Could your online tools be using more energy than they need to? Are you choosing tech partners who genuinely care about sustainability?

These decisions don’t just help the planet, they shape your brand. More and more customers want to work with businesses that walk the walk, not just talk the talk when it comes to sustainability and the environment.

Start with one simple step this week

Take a moment to measure or review one part of your digital setup, your website, your hosting, your AI tools, anything.

Not to feel guilty. Not to be perfect. Just to understand.

When we know the impact of our digital choices, we can start making better ones.

If you’re not sure where to start, drop us a message and we can show you how to measure your website’s carbon footprint, understand your digital impact and start you on your digital sustainability journey.

A little behind the scenes at the Reuben office…

If you’ve ever walked past our Highworth High Street office, you might have wondered what goes on behind the door at number 28. So, we thought we’d share a little glimpse.

Downstairs is Managing Director and founder Ray’s office, and it’s more than just a workstation. It’s his creative corner, where client projects and digital strategies sit alongside his Sax, keyboards and vintage HiFi. His passion for jazz music and the arts brings a spark of creativity that echoes across our whole team. Twice a week, the rest of the team join Ray upstairs in the main office, making the most of the fabulous workspace whilst they are busy coding, creating amazing websites and digital solutions.

Whilst Highworth is our home, we’re also incredibly grateful for our second office and brilliant team we have in Jakarta, Indonesia. We’re very fortunate to work across two sides of the world, all driven by the same shared passion.

But, the best part of our office? Seeing your faces as you walk past our window. So, next time you’re passing by, please don’t hesitate to knock on the door - we’d love to have a chat and show you around.

We’re Reuben Digital, a family run digital agency based right here in Highworth, supported by our brilliant extended team in Jakarta, Indonesia. For over 25 years, we’ve been designing, building and looking after websites and digital platforms for organisations of all shapes and sizes.

Yes, we collaborate with some of the world’s leading brands, but we’re equally passionate about supporting small businesses, charities, not for profits and ethical organisations. We have a proven track record working with SMEs and community groups, both locally and further afield.

We’re also proud sponsors of the Highworth Jazz Festival, currently supporting their full digital marketing outreach.

📍Why we do what we do📍

Sustainability, ethics and long term thinking are at the heart of Reuben Digital. We believe good digital work should:

•Support people and communities to make a real impact

•Be built to last, not just look good on launch day

•Strengthen long term relationships (many of our clients have been with us for 10+ years)

•Be accessible, secure and responsible

•Help clients grow in a way that aligns with their (and our) values

📍What we do📍

At our core, we design, build, host and support:

•Websites for small businesses, charities and not for profits

•Ecommerce sites

•Search Engine and AI Optimisation

•Sustainability guidance and advice

•Support for emerging technologies, including ethical and sustainable AI adoption

We don’t believe in launching a website and walking away. A huge part of our work is improving digital visibility, making analytics actually make sense, and helping organisations grow steadily over time.

📍Our goal is simple: elevate your digital presence sustainably.📍

If you’re a local business, charity or community organisation and you want a website that:

•Reflects who you are

•Works smoothly on mobile

•Loads fast

•Can actually be found online

…then you’re in exactly the right place.

We’d love to hear from you.

Now that's Jazz!

We are really delighted to announce the recent launch of a new website developed by Reuben Digital for the very talented and award-winning Jazz Saxophonist and author Simon Spillett.

Over his twenty-five year career Simon Spillett has worn almost as many hats as it's possible to wear within jazz; multi-award-winning instrumentalist (BBC Jazz Awards, British Jazz Awards, Jazz Journal's Album of The Year), quartet and big band leader, recording artist, author, historian, record producer, archivist, magazine columnist, Social Media commentator and latterly blogger.

As many of you will know, Reuben Digital’s managing director Ray Stephens has a deep passion for Jazz music. Ray spends his free time playing sax with his own band Shades of Silver, with local amateur jazz outfits, and for many years as the baritone sax player with Swindon’s oldest big band; The Mid-West. When not playing Ray will attending live gigs, or listening to his favourite jazz records.

This passion led to a meeting of minds between Ray and Simon. Ray a keen fan of Simon, his music and writing would always read Simon’s Facebook posts about British Modern Jazz, its artists and the jazz / popular culture associated with it during the golden years of the 1950’s and 1960’s.

Simon has become the leading authority on one of the UK’s most important modern jazz musicians of that period, the late, great Tubby Hayes. Simon is the author of Tubby’s definitive biography “The Long Shadow of The Little Giant”, and with his own amazing quart and big band continues the Tubby Hayes legacy playing many of Tubby’s famous tunes.

During the initial period of the 2020 “lockdown”, Simon was publishing some incredibly rich blog articles on Facebook, and Ray felt that these were, to quote, “too good to be lost in the Facebook aether”, and Ray reached out to Simon to offer the services of Reuben Digital to create a formal blog that would sit alongside Simon’s website and offer a permanent digital home to much of this historically and culturally significant writings, pictures and archive material.

From these initial steps Reuben Digital has worked hard to develop a whole new digital presence for Simon by way of a fresh new website and blog, with a content management platform that is truly deserving of Simon, his music and his place as a leading Tenor Sax playing in the UK Jazz scene and beyond.

We would also like to thank our Graphic Design Partners Jazzbones Creative for the fabulous designs that bring together a great fusion of contemporary web design with a classic feel.

More exciting news from Reuben Digital.

Following on from our recent announcement regarding Mark’s promotion to technical director, we are also delighted to share some news about another key member of the Reuben team, Louis Stephens

Back in 2013 Louis joined the Reuben team as a trainee web developer and has been immersed in all aspects of front-end development and website support.

However, in more recent times, driven the growth of the both the support team and the Reuben client base, Louis has organically taken more responsibilities with team leading and client focused tasks.

Louis has demonstrated some exception growth in these areas, and combined with these technical and managerial foundations and Louis natural ability as a “people person” Louis has grown into a very accomplished and valued team member leading a number of successful client projects through to completion.

In recognition of this, we are delighted to also announce that Louis has been promoted to the position of Operations Manager.

Louis new role will encompass of much of what he does now, but is now more clearly defined and focused including:

- Owning Front-end Projects

- Owning, Coordinating and driving to completing ongoing projects / service delivery for our long-term clients

- Project managing and coordinating front-end / less complex project delivery across the agency

- Coordinating back-end development resource input into projects he owns

- Resource time management and prioritisation

- Coordinating Client Project Review Meetings

- Preparing Revenue forecasting for projects

- Supporting our Managing Director Ray Stephens with new business, such as taking over following the initial new business meetings to chair requirement gathering sessions, agreeing scope and drafting in senior developers to support the process when the projects are of a more complex technical nature

- Coordinating, prioritising and communicating related front-end tasks and B2C promotions for our clients.

- Learning more of the “business end of things” working with senior management around Reuben Business strategy and processes

Congratulations Louis, thank you for your commitment and dedication to the Reuben business and its clients. Keep up the great work!

Hi There, hope all is well.

We have some exciting news regarding one of our team mates!

As many of you may know Mark Vincent has been with Reuben Digital for many years now and has been the lead developer, and in most cases at the center of our complex client systems, architecting the solutions and often coding them, and he has undeniably been a key element of Reuben Digital's successes. Whist in this role Mark has always had to wear many hats, from new biz support, system design and coding through to project management and technical team leading.

In recognition of this enormous contribution and loyalty to myself, our clients, the business and the system, I am delighted to announce that Mark has been promoted to Technical Director.

Congratulations Mark!

Marks new role will comprise of the following key responsibilities:

- Development Team Leader handling Briefing, Prioritisation and co-ordination of backend development team.

- Responsible for driving through the Reuben future technical strategy around our new stack and Azure Cloud.

- Responsible for technical architecture design sanctioning, direction and briefing.

- Client Strategic requirements gathering, solution consultancy and
Leading the technical strategy for our key clients.

- Hands on development where necessary

Part of the rationale behind the Reuben Digital's recent recruitment drive and our new developer team in Jakarta, is to ensure that we have enough delivery resource to enable Mark to step back from much of his deep client project hands-on development to focus on the above and drive through the strategic technical objectives.

Once again, congratulations Mark and well deserved.
