Intranet Development in Carlisle
An internal site where a Carlisle business's staff can actually find things — policies, forms, contacts, how to do the thing they only do twice a year. Intranets have a poor reputation because most are abandoned within a year, and the reasons for that are predictable and avoidable.
Why this comes up
The problem
The intranet was built, launched and left. Content is three years stale, search returns nothing useful, and staff ask a colleague instead — which is the only measure that matters.
What you get
What we deliver
- Search that works, since it is how most people navigate rather than the menu
- Content ownership assigned per section, with review dates that actually fire
- The things people look for most, identified from asking rather than assuming
- Structure based on tasks people need to do, not on the organisational chart
- Mobile access for staff without desks, who are usually the worst served
- A retirement process for stale content, because unmaintained pages destroy trust in all of it

Intranet Development in Carlisle — common questions
- Why do intranets get abandoned?
- No content owners and no review cycle. Once staff find one out-of-date page they stop trusting the rest, and recovering that trust is much harder than maintaining it. It is a governance problem rather than a technology one.
- Should we build it or use SharePoint?
- SharePoint covers most needs and you probably already pay for it. Building is worth considering where you need genuine integration with operational systems, or where the audience is deskless staff that SharePoint serves awkwardly.
- How should it be structured?
- Around what people are trying to do, not around departments. Staff look for booking holiday or ordering equipment; they do not think in terms of which department owns the form.
- How do we know it is working?
- Search logs, particularly the searches returning nothing. That list is the most useful content plan you will get, because it is people telling you exactly what they expected to find and did not.
- Do you work with businesses across Cumbria?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North West, including Carlisle and the surrounding Cumbria area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Carlisle businesses do you usually work with?
- Logistics and distribution systems for operators on the border corridor, and remote-first IT support for businesses with no local provider. Beyond that we work across Logistics, Manufacturing, Agriculture, Retail and Public Sector.
- Do you cover the areas around Carlisle?
- Yes — we work throughout North West, including Preston, Lancaster, Newcastle. Carlisle is an urban area of roughly 110,000+, and we take on work across the wider Cumbria region rather than the city boundary alone.
