About Spacestar Digital
We’re a small web development studio in Sheffield, building websites, web applications and design systems for businesses and the agencies they work with.
Who we are
Most of what we build runs on Statamic and Laravel, with the front end to match, and we look after it once it’s live. Some clients come to us directly, and a lot of our work comes through agencies who need a technical lead on their team.
Our director, Steve Edson, has been building for the web since 2008. He leads each project from the first call through to launch, so you’re always talking to someone who knows the code.
What we've built at Spacestar
Our biggest projects have been for Mitsubishi Electric, where we've built the multilingual MELCloud websites, an energy label calculator and a component library, and for BP, where we spent three years on the fleet team, building a React design system and then leading the front end through launch.
More recently we've built a Statamic website for Inspired Villages, moving over 1,100 properties from an old Drupal site, and looked after the corporate site for a specialist insurer. We've also kept The Archer Project's Statamic site going for five years, and we built and ran a wholesale ordering platform for Laura's Confectionery from 2021. There's more on all of them in our case studies. Through agencies we've also built email templates and banners for Castrol, and interactive e-learning modules for Red Bull with DSQ Consultancy.
Steve also wrote and maintains a FreeAgent extension for Raycast, which is open source.
We give back to Statamic too. Steve has had fixes merged into Statamic's core, most recently one that removes an N+1 query when loading an entry's descendants, and reports bugs in its Eloquent driver. We'll be at Statamic Summit in Frankfurt in February 2027.
The experience we bring
Spacestar started in 2021, but the experience behind it goes back further: software for the radio industry at Aiir, agency work at Jaywing in Sheffield, and a hotel guest app at Travlet, where Steve was Head of Development.
At Jaywing that meant projects for Castrol, HSBC, first direct, KPMG, Hitachi and Hermes.
A small studio, on purpose
We're small by choice, so that the person you speak to at the start is the person building it at the end. When a project needs design, UX or more hands, we bring in people we've worked with before, and we'll tell you who they are and what they're doing.
Many agencies work with us in the same way. If that's you, there's a page about working with us as an agency, and if you're thinking about a Statamic site, start with our page on Statamic development.
Your next project deserves better. Hi.
Tell us what you’re building and we’ll come back with some questions, a rough idea of cost and how we’d approach it.
