history

Established in October 2002, Internet Essentials has developed its own way of producing high grade web design products and inspirational design and marketing. As a multi-disciplined design agency based in Leicestershire, our core business is the building, hosting and promotion of websites. Historically we have served businesses within the Midlands area however some clients that like our style are as far away as Middlesbrough and York so don't let distance put you off.

The company has always based its services around the Internet with production of effective bespoke websites at all price points. Recently increasing demand of design services has naturally lead us to deliver design for print as well, we might not be able to produce a 100 page colour brochure but the majority of the day to day office literature required to run a modern company is well within our capabilities, examples of this work is well documented on this website.

We deal with clients of all industries and sizes, aiming to be the number one supplier in our locality. We develop strong relationships with our clients and work hard to give them real value in our solutions. By analysing their day-to-day operations, we hope to identify ways in which we can economise their maintenance processes and extend internal processes out to the public via the website.

methodology

We build all of our work to W3C standards and utilise the multitude of web-based applications offered by organisations like Google. For example, we implement Google Analytics and XML Site maps into all of our web solutions as standard.

web design

This is where the agency came from and is our core activity. We don't just blindly build your website; we research the competition and discover what is needed to compete in your marketplace. Our intention? To make your business more successful through the web. It is increasingly more likely to be the first place new customers come into contact with your organisation so if you're going to do it, do it well! Internet Essentials stands for W3C validated code and fresh design with usability in mind. You want your content looking as good as the site design? We can provide copywriting, illustration and photography professionals to help with this.

marketing / search engine optimisation

Everyone wants to be on the first page of Google. The design is good and the functionality never fails so why is your website not ranked number one? There are probably multiple reasons but our search engine optimisation program will certainly improve matters. Our clients benefit by having good site rankings for the phrases that their clients use to find them, this is the key to a well devised campaign and what we always try to deliver. Alternatively 'Pay per Click' marketing, may be an option if you need quick results.

branding

Your brand is all about values and style. Every organisation that has business cards and office stationary has one. This may not be a very well thought out brand or even intentional, but none the less these materials, together with the way the business is managed conveys a message about your organisation. Internet Essentials can assist you in developing a lasting brand that communicates a positive message about your organisation, in turn increasing your credibility, professionalism and annual turnover.

hosting

For us, hosting is all about experience. We believe that finding the right environment for your project is just as important as the price. We maintain a strong relationship with our hosting provider and have years of experience working with their systems. We don't aim to supply the cheapest hosting solutions available, like our other services we put quality above quantity and work hard to recommend the services that are most beneficial to you.
