The division designs high-quality commercial websites, creates bespoke e-commerce campaigns, and demonstrates how businesses can operate by offering a database design and management service.

Managing director Jason Walker said: “It soon became evident that the required volume of business was there and that in servicing it effectively and building on our successes, we could more than justify setting up a standalone business unit.”

The new Adlington, Macclesfield-based division will be headed up by senior web designer Matt Burton.

He said: “Any activity we undertake has to sit comfortably as part of any client’s overall marketing strategy.

“The internet is now recognised as an integral part of business marketing and clients are demanding increasingly sophisticated and innovative online material.

“This will allow clients to capture data online before accessing and updating that information remotely to ensure that any database is always current.”
