Making the most of the internet

The internet and the web are the most successful of all integrated IT applications. Connecting London offers you access to all the ways of using them, and making the most of the falling costs of broadband connection.

Internet access

We're happy to set up any system, from single-user access (including a simple introduction to using the internet) to full corporate solutions with optimum bandwidth allocation and sophisticated routing.

Web design services

Effective web design includes advanced and precise techniques to capture visitors by search engine optimisation (SEO: setting up links to be automatically picked up by search engines like Google or Yahoo!), control the way visitors use your site - how long they spend on it, which pages they look at, optimise and analyse volume and cost of traffic, and produce reports. It also enables the management of your responses to your visitors' responses.

Connecting London offers a web-design service that supports and reflects your business objectives, including brand support, cost-effectively. Starting with the basics - setting up and registering a domain name (your web address) for you if you need it - it develops your site into a powerful and indispensable commercial tool.

An occasional or regular audit, followed if desirable by an upgrade or redesign, can ensure that your site misses no tricks.

Web hosting and managed email

Connecting London has its own secure servers in London's Telehouse, where it can host your website. This transparent service guarantees connectivity and security. We can monitor your site, update/upgrade it, and produce reports.

As an ISP (Internet Service Provider) we also offer an email service through one of our own servers. This guarantees your connectivity, and offers you the latest SPAM-control and virus-blocking techniques (built into Connecting London's servers, and continuously upgraded).

Colocation

We provide a full hosting service at Telehouse, not just for your systems and software on our servers, but for your own telecoms, networking and computer hardware in maximum 24/7 physical and systems security. Managed auditing and reports can be provided.

The service is suitable for clients who require complete control over their server set-ups - typically power users needing multi-server clustering, advanced hardware/software configurations, and secure access to specific data centres and uplinks.

Ecommerce

Applications using internet communications to facilitate business range from CRM (customer relations management) systems that store and instantaneously retrieve customer details to support phone contacts, through secure systems to handle credit-card information, to till-linked electronic data capture for accounting and inventory control. Some of these are now standard applications, some are custom-built for specific clients, most are a combination. At Connecting London, we can audit your requirements, identify standard applications that can help, and integrate them into turnkey systems if required.
