e-SORT diseño web

Spanish small firms and self-employed people are the usual clients of e-SORT, a Madrid agency founded in 2005 that designs websites, builds management software and runs its own hosting in Spain. Spain's Kit Digital support scheme, which helps small businesses pay for digital work, has approved e-SORT as one of its digitalisation agents.

Websites, blogs and online shops

e-SORT builds corporate websites and blogs on WordPress, either customising the design of a site or adapting premium themes and using plug-ins where suitable. Online shops are built on PrestaShop or WooCommerce, with a catalogue organised into product families and subfamilies, a shopping cart and a payment gateway. The agency chooses the platform for each project according to the client's needs.

Management software built to order

For larger projects, the firm builds bespoke web applications for management and runs them on its own content manager, which it calls Content SORT. The manager lets clients update their sites without programming knowledge. The company describes these applications as built to digitise processes, improve internal management and give staff secure access to information from any device.

In-house products and applications

The firm sells its own applications. One is an online tool for recording staff working hours, managing timetables, holidays and absences and reading reports. Another is a digital photo and audiovisual archive that catalogues, searches, keeps and shares files in a central, secure place. A third is a confidential channel for receiving reports and complaints, which protects the identity of the person reporting.

Hosting, domains and support in Spain

e-SORT offers a complete online presence, covering domains, corporate email and web hosting. Its servers are located in Spain and are said to be dedicated to client sites rather than crowded with hundreds of other hosting accounts. Telephone and email support is given in Spanish.

Marketing, photography and virtual tours

Beyond the web, the agency provides branding, naming, brand identity and corporate image work, graphic design for advertising, search engine optimisation and search advertising. It also produces corporate and product photography and virtual tours for Google Street View. The firm states that its work has covered publishers, property developers, compensation boards, lawyers, engineering firms, musicians and retail businesses.
