In late September 2018, Cyber-Duck finally became a teenager. We celebrated our 13th birthday at the central London venue, the Happenstance. Here’s our summary of why the last year in particular was worth celebrating with a night on the town!

Current projections suggest that 50% of all searches will be voice searches by 2020, and that by the same year screens won’t be used in 30% of searches. This is the new reality following the unstoppable rise of the voice assistant. Are you prepared for voice search? With a voice app available for UX Companion and much more besides, Cyber-Duck is well on the way to harnessing this exciting new technology.

With Apple now also jumping on the bandwagon of Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), the next generation of web experiences is fast approaching. But what are progressive web apps? To get to grips with this transformative new technology, we looked at progressive web app development ourselves and transformed UX Companion into a PWA.

Today, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of a new website for the industry leading provider of modular cleanroom solutions, Connect 2 Cleanrooms. We developed a new website with the Magento 2-based CMS and revolutionary design to aid their growth strategy.

Born out of Cyber-Duck founder and CEO Danny Bluestone’s desire to help his elderly neighbour, Jim, we’re excited to showcase our proof of concept of a social care assistant, Jim.Care. Using Amazon Alexa, Jim.Care bridges the gaps in social care by providing the elderly and disabled with an intuitive way to get in touch with their families or carers in an emergency.

Following stellar growth last year, we’re thrilled to announce the opening of a brand new office for our digital agency in Leeds. Based at the Platform, our new office will serve as our web design base in Leeds as we continue our successful relationships with clients like Myerson Solicitors and Connect 2 Cleanrooms in the North.

We all know that July and August tend to be lax months in the financial year. Everyone goes on holiday and projects are put on the backburner until your team is back up to full capacity. Not so at Cyber-Duck!

This summer has seen some major changes and some exciting news in our neck of the woods. We have new starters, we have been shortlisted for awards, and we have major and thrilling projects to unveil soon too.
