A WEB design company has landed a £25,000 contract.

Social networking expert NSDesign, based at Hillington, has launched a bespoke business social networking platform for the International Business Technology and Innovation Exchange (IBTIX).

The contract for the European and US-based IBTIX is one of the largest NSDesign has secured to date and is another significant addition to the company’s growing portfolio.

The network will allow businesses to showcase their products and services and connect with new customers using state-of-the-art business social networking tools, according to the company.

Managing Director of NSDesign, Gary Ennis, said: “We are delighted to have been working with IBTIX as this network can offer companies like ourselves the opportunity to acquire new business and grow.

“Not only has this been one of our biggest financial contracts to date but working with IBTIX has given us the opportunity to be introduced to major international companies.”

The site was launched earlier this month and has already had hits from as far afield as the US, Canada, Spain, Switzerland and China, NSDesign said.

The City of Glasgow and a number of other Glasgow businesses are already featured on the site.

The company said The State of New Hampshire in the United States is another user and the expectation is that more US states will come on board in the weeks ahead.

Bob Creighton, Chief Executive Officer of IBTIX, said: “NSDesign is a pivotal part of our team. The company took our ideas and conceptualised them visually; they challenged our thinking and put together a state of the art site that is functional, user friendly and has immediate impact.

“Ours is a web based business model and NSDesign has been crucial to our development and launch. They understand our market and the challenges. We haven’t yet come up with a problem that they haven’t found a solution for.”
