Indigo Clothing Website designed and optimised by Indigo-2Indigo Clothing holds its exciting and growing success because of this website. We are often asked who designed it and how its runs so this page is design to tell you a bit more about what drives this site: Indigo-2The site was originally built and developed by Alex Walker, the company founder whilst at Cambridge University. Alex is still an active part of the development of the Indigo Clothing site but via a new project, Indigo-2, a search optimisation and web design company that specialises in understanding how good and consistent search rankings can be obtained, especially in Google. 
Web HostingThe Indigo Clothing website is run on a UK based dedicated web server provided by Clook.co.uk to give you with a safe and secure website that is always available 24 hours a day 7 days a week thanks to their 'rock solid' infrastructure and great technical support.
