Since we started working on the Internet in the "olden days" of 1994 we have held fast to our belief that the network allows small businesses to compete with the big boys.  The Internet, and more particularly, the World Wide Web allows any business to reach customers around the world and we believe that our technologies can help businesses with vision to succeed in the global marketplace.

We also believe that establishing a presence online should be easy, cost effective, and have a very low cost of entry for our clients.  Our technology powered the first multi-vendor electronic commerce system launched in the UK and we have continued to provide low cost services to a mass market whilst maintaining our personal touch.  Whether you need a site designed from scratch, a blog, an online shop, search engine optimisation or simply need a new hosting provider or more reliable email we can help.

Despite more than fifteen years developing for the World Wide Web we still have a sense of humour hence our occasional foray into some off-brand projects (see Bummed By The Boss and Get A Beer In For Me if you don't believe us!).  Work should be fun - we want to do what we like and love what we do - if it's not profitable AND fun then we won't do it.  Actually, sometimes, fun is enough.

Why Ladybird?

We have been developing web solutions since 1994 when web pages were white, text was "Times New Roman" and you couldn't put an image online.  Since then we have built sites for thousands of customers and we have striven to never write the same code twice; our library contains millions of lines of code and this allows us to quickly put a site together and practise Rapid Application Development which translates into higher quality (through the use of proven code) and lower costs for our customers.  We have a policy of developing affordable projects for businesses and for ensuring that we deliver the same level of expertise to a small business as we do for a big business. 

Ladybird Internet Ltd takes great pride in being based in the North East of England and we deliver services from South Shields to companies around the world who trust us to develop and manage their web sites, host their email accounts and mailboxes, and optimise their sites for the biggest search engines.  Wherever possible we source the products and services we buy locally and although we are technology evangelists we know that many of our customers are not as technically aware as us and we always start a project by understanding their business model - we believe that an understanding of the business must come first and that the technology should come later. 

We also take pride in being different.  Very different.  Explore our site, read our Core Values, and our Employment Policies and see for yourself why our approach to doing business is unlike any Company you have ever dealt with. 

We Are A Small Business…

We have a pretty impressive portfolio of brands and web sites, loyal customers in three continents, and the ability to serve clients around the world but we remain a small business at heart with no ambitions to become a massive corporate entity.   We strive to maintain our personal committment to customers in a way that very few other providers do. 

Our very high levels of industry recognised expertise and years in the business combined with our close involvement with clients in a very wide range of industries gives us the ability to quickly get to the heart of a project and care for, guide, and serve our clients at every stage of the growth and development of their web sites.
