Who are Visual Interactive?

The birth and evolution of Visual Interactive.

Based in Northampton, the heart of England.

Founded in 1998, Visual interactive started out by providing PC repair services, custom high-end PC builds and local area networking solutions to residential customers and local businesses. After a short period of time, the decision was made to extend the range of services by branching out into graphic design, internet services and website design & development. Growing rapidly and moving from strength to strength, Visual Interactive built up a strong client base through the provision of creative design services - which remains our core set of services today.

In 2001, Visual Interactive acquired the business assets of another local web development business - Evolution Web Designs. In addition to increasing our client base, the acquisition put the business in a more advantageous position and enabled us to offer a much wider range of professional services to Evolution Web Designs' customers. As our range of services were honed, we took the decision to withdraw the PC repair, PC build and networking services from our portfolio and focus on our core skills.

Visual Interactive provides a whole range of professional creative design services including branding, responsive website design & development, internet services (to accompany our website creations), graphical user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design, graphic design along with printing services, search engine optimisation and internet marketing solutions.

Over the many years we have been operating, we have supported individuals and businesses as far reaching as Australia. We have always thrived on building trusted and mutual relationships and continue to provide our services to many long standing clients.
