At Binge Island, we leverage a range of industry-leading tools to ensure smooth operations, high-quality website builds, and seamless client collaboration. From website design and development to secure payments and file management, here’s a breakdown of the essential tools we use and recommend.
Website Design & Development
WordPress & Elementor
We build all our websites using WordPress, the world’s most popular content management system (CMS). It offers flexibility, scalability, and powerful integrations that allow us to create feature-rich websites for our clients.
For website design, we use Elementor, a premium drag-and-drop page builder that provides:
- A fully customisable visual editor for stunning web designs
- Mobile-friendly and responsive layouts
- Fast-loading pages with optimised code, and
- Seamless integration with various plugins and tools
By combining WordPress and Elementor, we build elegant, functional, and easy-to-manage websites that meet the needs of businesses across different industries.
Secure Payments & Billing
Stripe
To handle all online transactions securely, we use Stripe, a globally trusted payment gateway. Stripe ensures that all payments made to Binge Island are encrypted, reliable, and compliant with the highest security standards.
