About Rocking Rose
Rocking Rose began 2016 as a consulting service, providing tailored solutions to small businesses and organisations seeking guidance in navigating the digital landscape. Founded by Stephanie Gaddin, the company initially focused on helping clients develop strategies and implement tools aligned with their unique needs and goals.
As the company grew, Rocking Rose shifted its focus to delivering high-end web development services, specialising in bespoke solutions for enterprise-level clients. This evolution was driven by a commitment to addressing the growing demand for robust, scalable websites that blend functionality with aesthetic appeal and are easy for non-technical content producers.
Over time, Rocking Rose expanded its offerings to include custom integrations in the WordPress ecosystem, complex digital strategies, and solutions designed to handle high-traffic demands. Today, the company’s values—Informing, Collaborating, Creating, Sharing, and Having Fun—continue guiding its work, ensuring every project is approached creatively and precisely.
