About Us

Internetworks Ltd was founded in 1996 by Piers Nicholson and Bridget Cuming, who are still the shareholders in the company.

Both had lived in Epsom for some years, and had served on the College Ward Residents Associations, one of the 13 RAs who (unusually in England) control our local council. We were looking for a "showcase" web site for the company, and so developed Epsom and Ewell on the Internet, which has developed to be a well-rounded community website with a lot of information content ranging from Epsom Salts to cycle trails, early history to Mrs. Beeton, and much more. It now gets nearly 400 page accesses a day. And it has also developed a number of business services such as the popular feature pages. The feature pages now get an anverage of 80 page accesses a month.

Shortly afterwards, we decided to develop another showcase site for sundials. This was prompted by Piers Nicholson's internest as a designer of sundials, and a member of the council of the British Sundial Society. Sundials on the Internet now gets more than 1,500 page accesses a day.

Alongside these major sites we run for ourselves, we also developed a major commercial website for Roskill Information Services, the publishers of a world-famous range of reports on the economics of metals and minerals. And we have also developed the trade fairs and exhibitions UK site for Exhibition Audience Audits Ltd with support from British Trade International/DTI.

These major projects take up about a third of our time, and the rest of it is devoted to building websites for smaller businesses, and advising businesses large and small on how to start up on the Internet. For this, we charge a flat £60 per hour, and our clients seem to think that this is some of the best value-for-money advice they ever received.

We also run a remedial service which is increasing popular as businesses and trade associations find that the website they have had built for them by design-based website companies don't actually work very well on the Internet. We know what works and what doesn't and we are not distracted by the latest fads and gizmos. So we can tell you frankly (and also very economically) what the weak points in your website are, and what you or your designers can do to plug them.

In short, in everything we do, we want to "make sure the Internet works - for you"
