The brief
The business had grown. The website needed to catch up.
Vimana Digital designed, built and now hosts a WordPress website for Nexsis Communications, a growing Derbyshire IT and networking company. The site replaced a presence that no longer matched the business, organising a broad technical offering into four clear service areas. After a year of comparatively stagnant profits, the stronger online presence has helped support Nexsis's return to growth.
Nexsis provides networking, communications, connectivity and security solutions to organisations across the UK. The company had become capable and increasingly established, but its website was not communicating that progression strongly enough.
The hard part was breadth. Nexsis works across many technical disciplines, so simply listing services was not enough. Visitors needed to understand what the company could deliver without being overwhelmed. The brief came down to three goals:
What we built
A video-led homepage and four clear service journeys
The visual direction came from Nexsis's own requirements and design ideas. Our job was to translate them into a modern site, not to force the business into a generic agency template.
- Full-video homepage hero: a more modern, dynamic first impression than a static corporate banner, with strong typography and clear calls to action keeping the message simple.
- Four service areas: Networking & Connectivity (infrastructure, cabling, Wi-Fi surveys, cellular coverage); Voice & Mobile (business phones and mobiles); CCTV & Access (security and access control); Infrastructure & Support (IT infrastructure and ongoing support).
- A three-stage process section: Discover & Survey, Design & Proposal, Install & Handover, so technically complex installations read as a simple journey.
- WordPress platform: a flexible content system that can keep expanding as services, projects and company information develop.
- Managed hosting by Vimana: development and hosting under the same technical management rather than split between suppliers.
- Responsive build: the same identity, messaging and structure on mobile, with navigation and calls to action adapted rather than shrunk.

The outcome
More than a visual upgrade
Before the new website, Nexsis's profits had been comparatively stagnant during the previous year. The stronger online presence has since helped support the business as it moved back into growth.
The site now presents a considerably broader and more professional picture of Nexsis, giving prospective customers a clearer understanding of what the company can do and how to engage with it.

How do you present a wide range of technical services without overwhelming visitors?
Group them. For Nexsis we organised everything into four service areas, each with its own route and consistent presentation. Visitors see the shape of the company straight away, then move into the detail they need. A long flat list does the opposite: it hides real capability in a crowd of similar-looking links.
Is a video background a good idea for a business website?
It can be, for the right business. For Nexsis the full-video hero signals a technology-led company and creates movement from the first screen. It works because strong typography and clear calls to action carry the message too, so the video supports the page rather than being the only thing on it.
Should our web developer also host the site?
It keeps things simpler, and Nexsis's site is hosted by us. With development and hosting under the same technical management, there is one supplier to call rather than two. Vimana hosting starts from £120 a year with SSL included, and website management from £50 a month (paid annually) if you want updates handled too. Prices exclude VAT.
