About Essential Logic Ltd

Working from the Jewellery Quarter of Birmingham, Essential Logic Ltd builds websites and web applications. It was set up in 2000, at a time it describes as the end of the dotcom boom, and it says its name reflects the logic it brings to making online experiences work for its clients. The agency has been designing and building websites and web applications for more than two decades.

Online stores that sell

The agency builds eCommerce sites on Magento, Shopify and WooCommerce, which its site describes as among the most widely used online shopping platforms. It says its designers and developers have delivered many online stores for clients, and it describes its aim as sites that attract repeat customers and drive sales.

Websites that clients can update themselves

The agency builds business websites that visitors find persuasive and that clients can maintain without a developer. These run on a content management system. The agency offers its own MetaScale CMS, which it has developed itself, as well as WordPress, which it describes as very popular.

Bespoke web applications for real problems

For clients with manual processes they want to simplify, the agency designs and develops web-based applications. Examples it lists include an e-ticketing system, an investment portal, an online training platform and an automated safety registration system. It presents these as tools that solve problems inside a business, as well as ways to improve the customer experience.

Cloud working for modern businesses

The agency describes its enthusiasm for the way businesses now use technology. It says cloud services let staff work, collaborate and operate at any time, from any device and in any location, and that this can be done securely and at scale.

Birmingham roots and a small team

The firm's base in the Jewellery Quarter places it among a large community of creative and digital organisations outside London, according to its own account. It describes its team as a small group of experienced web designers and developers who work closely with each client.

What a finished site is meant to do

The agency measures a website by whether it brings in customers, and it treats the ability to update content as part of the same job.

Manufacturers, retailers and financial firms

Its client list includes manufacturers, online retailers, PR organisations and financial services companies, large and small. Its work ranges from a single store or website to a full web application that a company relies on day to day.
