Our Story
Founded by sole director Jason Gabriel as a sole trader under Thunderchild in 2013, our journey began as a creative outlet amid the shift to mobile-first web design, modernizing sites for a responsive era when demand was booming.
Incorporated in 2018 and based in Angus, Scotland, we focus on local regions like Tayside, Aberdeenshire, Fife, Perth, Stirling, and the Highlands. What sets Thunderwerx LTD apart? Our focus - Scottish projects that require end to end solutions. Navigating initial digital hurdles and limited budgets with affordable, impactful solutions. From video production, content creation, photography, graphic design, and web development to custom integrations, we enlist specialists for complex tasks (like SaaS services) and leverage third-party tools to minimize costs for clients not requiring complex groundworks, ensuring tailored results.
“Thunderwerx was born gazing at a lone cloud over the azure Dalmatian Coast, when Thunder erupted loudly out of it. Despite the rush of adrenaline - nothing came of this fierce entity. Faced with the same, some chose the resolve of calm, over cautious withdrawal. They basked in the perceived threat, finding peace in solitude. It was then my perspective shifted. This moment captures our ethos: embracing the storm's raw energy without fleeing the unknown. ”

Our Values
Outlier Innovation
Drawing from Rory Sutherland's Ogilvy insights on the fat-tailed economy (where success comes from asymmetrical bets, non-linear outcomes, and outlier opportunities) to deliver transformative digital solutions that defy conventional logic. Instead, we probe for outliers: What if, rather than a generic site bloated with features, we pivot to a simple, hyper-targeted social media strategy amplifying one viral community story?
Value-First Integrity
We guide clients away from commoditized tools they don't truly need (like a forced website or AI chatbot for a job that requires a person to answer). Prioritizing honest assessments that deliver asymmetrical value through minimal, high-impact interventions, ensuring every project builds trust and avoids the race-to-the-bottom drain. For example a client seeking better outreach, we may advise against a full bespoke site, opting instead for targeted social content using existing platforms to amplify key stories.
Community
We are rooted in Scottish realities, we empower non-profits, CICs, and SMEs by addressing digital hurdles with affordable, adaptive strategies, fostering Gaelic revival, active travel, and eco-practices that strengthen local welfare and turn constant challenges into transformative triumphs. In web for example, for a prospective local community group aiming to boost engagement, we’d create a user-driven blog platform with membership features.
Adaptability
Channeling technology's raw, unpredictable power- serenity shifting to intensity. Working with clients that infuse heart, mind, and hands-on dedication into flexible executions, embracing non-linear paths to spark innovation without fear, always prioritizing human experience, and growth for overlooked opportunity. In video for example, shifting from rigid scripts to embrace emerging narratives.
