Based in Bolton, we’re a team of four passionate professionals – each dedicated to bringing fresh ideas and tailored solutions to life.

The History of Luminite

Luminite Design began in 2014 but has roots that reach far earlier. From designing for friends and family to building a full-time business, Luminite has been my creative outlet, my passion, and my ‘third child.’

Over the years, I’ve kept pace with the ever-evolving tech landscape, making Luminite a trusted name for hundreds of clients.

Today, Luminite Design supports 270+ clients, manages 110+ live websites on our dedicated server, and offers digital marketing, SEO, and design services that meet the highest standards.

Let’s Illuminate Your Digital Journey Together…

Nikki Barlow

I’m Nikki, a mum of two and a lifelong tech enthusiast. My journey with technology started as young as 14, working alongside my family in our computer shops and learning HTML before Google was even around. It felt natural to pursue both IT and art, which led me to Art College. Since then, I’ve been self-taught, driven by an insatiable curiosity for the digital world. I feel as though technology is an extension of who I am, and I’m constantly exploring and mastering new tools to bring value to my clients.

Over the years, I’ve completed NVQs in business admin and IT, a diploma in social media for business, and countless courses in Google, Meta, WordPress, and even app development. I’m always hungry to learn and adapt, particularly with the current advances in AI, which I now integrate into my daily work.

Our Mission and Values

Our mission at Luminite Design is simple: to make the internet easy and accessible for everyone. I believe everyone should have access to high-quality websites and digital services without breaking the bank. This belief drives me to provide all-inclusive packages that cover every aspect of a site’s functionality, from design to performance.

Our core values are honesty, reliability, and community. I work hard to build trust with each client, many of whom are non-profits, charities, and community clubs. I often offer discounted or pro-bono work to these organisations, reinforcing our commitment to giving back.

To me, it’s all about making a measurable positive impact and knowing that we’re helping people navigate the internet with ease.

Why Choose Luminite Design?

Choosing Luminite means you’re not just getting a website that looks good but one that works perfectly. Our designs focus on user experience, optimised for Google, Bing, and mobile devices, while reflecting your unique brand. I believe in transparency and always keep clients informed of the ‘why’ behind each decision, making sure your digital presence is not only beautiful but fully functional. After all, a website should be more than a static page; it should be a powerful tool that drives your business forward.
