EKO4 Global Services Ltd

Digital marketing and translation under one roof

EKO 4 Global Services is a UK agency that brings together website design, digital marketing and language services. It presents itself as a company with a distinctive blend of services for businesses that want to reach customers at home and overseas. The company was established in 1991, and it says it has reached the finals of twelve awards.

Websites that bring in leads

The design team builds company websites, web applications and e-commerce sites with lead generation in mind. The company says its aim is to bring more visitors to a client's site, turn those visitors into enquiries and then into business. Its portfolio, as shown on the site, includes a lighting design consultancy, a psychological first aid app, a trauma recovery practice, a bathroom showroom and a solicitors' website covering more than 150 pages nationwide.

Apps for public and charitable clients

A progressive web app and mobile app that the company says won awards, and that it says was approved by Innovate UK, is in use in settings including the NHS and The Salvation Army. The firm also built a website for a UK counselling charity and worked on a translation company's website for a client in Miami.

Translation, certification and export paperwork

The translation side covers certified translation of documents and the verification of legal papers. Where a company is exporting, the firm can help prepare documents that need an apostille stamp, so that foreign authorities will accept them. Translation also runs alongside the website work, so that a site can be localised for new markets rather than simply translated word for word.

Localisation and internationalisation

Localisation adapts a site's text, images and structure to a particular market, while internationalisation prepares the underlying site so that it can serve several languages. The company says it combines these with creative design, search optimisation and marketing, so that a business can present one consistent message in English and abroad. It describes its aim as affordable work for small and medium-sized businesses, with results measured in UK and international sales.

Research and development partnerships

The company says it is working on several research and development projects in international business development. These projects are intended to give partner companies access to its knowledge, expertise and technology, particularly in cloud and web tools, and to combine them with translation and document sharing.
