IT & NETWORK · NETWORK DESIGN

Network design that scales with you, not against you

A network built for today’s headcount breaks the day you hire your fiftieth employee. Good network design plans for growth, segmentation and failure before any hardware goes in — not after something falls over.

Where it’s used

Built for the environment, not a generic spec sheet

Multi-site organisations

WAN design connecting sites securely and reliably, without every branch office becoming its own support headache.

Growing offices

LAN design that scales as headcount grows, instead of needing a redesign every time you add a floor.

Security-conscious environments

VLAN segmentation separating guest, staff and operational traffic, so a compromised guest device can’t see the rest of the network.

Typical investment

Questions we’re asked most

Answered plainly

How much does network design cost for a small business?

A single-site network design and consultancy engagement typically starts from around £950, scaling with the number of locations, users and existing systems involved.

Do you design networks with redundancy and failover built in?

Yes — for any site where downtime has a real cost, we design in redundant paths and failover from the outset rather than treating it as an optional extra.

Can you design around our existing hardware?

In most cases yes — an existing network audit at the start of the engagement confirms what can be kept, reused or needs replacing before the new design is finalised.

Have a network, cloud or CCTV project in mind?

Tell us the environment and the outcome you need — we’ll tell you what’s realistic.
