Honest, creative and resilient solutions for informational, not-for-profit and e-commerce clients around the world

A Digital Collective Working together with you

At the core of Oil Internet is a close-knit team, with each member taking responsibility for overseeing their individual areas of expertise. We have over 75 years of web experience between us, so can react to most requirements and are comfortable taking projects on at any stage.

We also work closely with an extended network of expert partners in related areas and can therefore expand and contract as needed by the projects upon which we are working.

We feel this relatively streamlined structure allows us to provide the many services required by our diverse client base, whilst keeping us flexible, fast-moving and competitive.

Take Time to Reflect

Design

We concentrate on providing website designs that are clean, clear, contemporary and gimmick-free. A beautiful look and feel is pointless if your users can’t find the information they need quickly and easily.

Design is subjective. It’s highly personal, and there is rarely a right or a wrong. But there’s normally a best, and that is what we’ll aim to create in collaboration with you.

Build

We love to be involved in the design phase of our web projects. But if you’ve already settled on a look and feel and simply need someone to realise your concept, we are more than happy to do that, too.

We can take your designs – whether from Photoshop, InDesign, or just a sketch – and convert them to functional, responsive websites.

Programming

Bespoke programming isn’t always necessary. There are so many plug-ins, apps and APIs to be found on the market that sometimes the quickest, easiest and most cost-effective approach is the integration off-the-shelf elements.

However, when that perfect fix just isn’t available, we can sit with you to spec out and then deliver bespoke programming solutions. The perfect balance of freedom and control.

Branding

Branding involves a lot more than just your logo. It’s your text, fonts, colours, tone of voice, images, usability, the way you interact with your users and how they in turn engage with your brand.

You may have an established brand that needs refining, or perhaps you’re looking to develop an entirely new brand. Either way, we have the experience and expertise to ensure that your user perceives your brand as you want it perceived.

E-commerce

Whether you are taking your first steps into e-commerce or looking to increase your existing online sales, we can provide you with all of the tools and support you will need. We focus on a handful of favoured open-source solutions, as well as providing a range of bespoke modules we’ve created for our clients’ unique requirements.

SEO

There are no search engine optimisation (SEO) short-cuts. People have tried and failed to cheat Google. For years. The only reliable strategy is to think clearly, plan well, work hard and spend time making changes as search engines evolve.

Some of our clients find it mind-numbingly dull. Others see it as an an irresistible challenge. We’re happy to respond to whatever your outlook on SEO happens to be.

Maintenance

Not all of our clients need their projects designed and/or built. Sometimes it’s just a question of keeping what they have – ensuring that everything is safe, secure and up-to-date.

As a result, we offer a range of maintenance packages – from light touch to 24/7. Whatever your level of cover, our aim is to provide you with both autonomy and support.

Collaborate to achieve We evolve with you

Our clients know a lot. So we’ll ask you to share your expertise while we work together. Our working hand-in-hand will guarantee satisfaction and ensure that your web project benefits from our shared knowledge.
