XEQUAL ~ MVP? means Minimum Viable Product*
Xequals is a web development and digital design agency. Actually, it’s more than that – it’s a community hub of digital evolution, and a developer of ideas, talent, and businesses.

“While digital technology has the power to do wondrous things, it’s not always accessible, or affordable,” co-founder and director Alex Matthews (pictured).“We reckon development needs to be efficient and work in proportion – each site should only be as complicated as it needs to be.”

From humble beginnings with zero investment, Xequals is now an international success story with clients in six countries.
