Based in the UK, Openia was formally established in 1999 (originally trading as Wey Valley Consulting Limited) and employs staff who have been involved in the Internet since the late 1980s.  Openia focuses on total Internet resource management. This is achieved by providing specialist services and products designed with excellence as a top priority. As a standard approach, we focus on using the latest open source technologies such as Linux, Apache and Zope.  This approach guarantees highly secure and stable solutions at a fraction of the costs associated with proprietary software.  We also pride ourselves in the ability to host, co-locate and manage client servers at state of the art facilities in the London Internet Exchange (LINX). Our staff members also have a wealth of experience in training clients across a wide range of subjects.

Openia excels in its adoption of a customer-friendly approach, guiding clients through every stage of the complex process from initial concept design to full e-commerce solution or Internet based applications.  Where clients already have an Intranet or Internet presence, services include migration to open source solutions and the enhancement of existing e-commerce applications.

With the aspirations of each individual customer uppermost in our mind, we offer solutions which take full advantage of our successful track record, applying a wide range of Internet  technologies to meet the needs of a varied and international commercial, government and academic customer base.

Company policy guarantees that our solutions have Usability and Accessibility built-in at the design stage. This ensures that these features are  integral to the site, not merely an afterthought. Furthermore, this approach also ensures that we meet strict public sector guidelines on website design.
