The web is continuing to work wonders for a Southwick-based online language company.

The firm, Lingualearn, has launched an improved web site at www.lingualearn.co.uk that has helped the company break its previous records for the number of hits the site has received.

It has been attracting about three million hits a year from individuals, schools, colleges, companies and universities.

Last month, it received 68,919 hits in just one week.

It is one of the largest sites in the UK for learning foreign languages and has more than 500 pages of information.

Mike Freeman, managing director, said: "Our new web site has exceeded our best expectations. Traffic on the site has doubled since this time last year but website sales have increased by a factor of ten."
