About

Xtensive Ltd was founded in 2008 and is a small IT company with a huge expanse of knowledge and experience.

Initially started by Colin Thomas when redundancy loomed from the Automobile Association where he had worked for 20 years.

Colin's wide knowledge of IT covers areas such as Programming, web design, business analysis, IT Consultancy, PC hardware and software support and networking.
 
In 2013, we expanded to our new office location in the St James Business Centre in Paisley and the addition of Liam Smith, a web design graduate, has boosted the Xtensive offering.

The 4 main areas that we specialise in are Web Design, eCommerce, Social Media and Internet Marketing, although various other areas of IT complete our portfolio of services.
 
Web design has been carried out by our staff since the early 90’s and we as a company have a vast knowledge of internet technologies.  Our experience has carried us down the route of CMS (content management systems) in particular using the industry strength Joomla platform for the bulk of our web design on the Linux platform.

In 2010, we partnered with Big Commerce to provide low cost, high quality and fully featured eCommerce solutions. This partnership and partnerships with payment providers has built up and allowed us to create some very secure solid and highly successful e-commerce solutions for our clients.
  
The other area of particular specialisation is Internet Marketing, for which we are qualified Internet Marketing Professionals.  This is an ever expanding area of business, as our clients have the need to gain as high a position on Google and the other search engines as possible organically. We provide optimisation techniques that have been hard learned and are highly effective.  We also provide guidance on pay-per-click advertising and provide quality Analytics data to our clients.  We have invested in this area over the last year as we consider Internet Marketing to be a vital part of giving our clients the edge.

We have clients in almost every business sector, including Retail, Finance, Industrial, Manufacturing, Leisure, Sport, Catering, Entertainment and Transport.
 
We very much see our relationship with Clients as one of a Technical Partnership. Client’s business’ will evolve with time, and Xtensive will be on hand to enhance their web offering – ensuring that we utilise the most appropriate software tools and components for our clients solutions that will give maximum return for their investment.
