Sound familiar?

Technology shouldn't make running your business harder.

Plenty of good businesses lose enquiries or waste time because their website, online presence or day-to-day processes are letting them down. Most of the time, fixing that doesn't need to become a huge IT project.

No website?

Social media is useful, but it shouldn't be the only place potential customers can find out who you are and what you do.

Website looking a bit dated?

An old, slow or awkward website can make a good business look less credible than it really is.

Not getting enough enquiries?

Customers need a clear reason to choose you and an easy way to get in touch when they're ready.

Still doing everything manually?

Forms, repetitive admin and disconnected tools can often be improved with relatively simple technology.

Concept work

See what I can build.

These purpose-built concepts show how different types of small businesses can present themselves professionally, explain what they do and make it easier for customers to get in touch.

These are fictional demonstration projects created to show design and development capability. They are not client websites.

Let's Talk

More than websites

Sometimes the website isn't the problem.

Maybe you're copying information between systems. Maybe every enquiry has to be dealt with manually. Maybe customers keep asking the same questions. Maybe you've got three different tools that don't talk to each other.

Those are exactly the kinds of problems I like looking at. The answer might be a simple form, a small automation, a better process or a different way of using the technology you already have.

Tell me the problem. I'll help work out the technology.

Tell me what's getting in the way

How it works

Keep it simple.

You shouldn't need to become a web developer or IT expert just to get something sorted.

  1. Tell me what you need

    We have a straightforward conversation about your business, what's causing the problem and what you're trying to achieve.

  2. I build it

    I design and build the solution without bombarding you with technical detail you don't need.

  3. You review it

    You see the result, give me your feedback and we make the changes agreed as part of the project.

  4. Go live

    I'll help get everything online, tested and working properly, and make sure you know what happens next.

You run your business. I'll sort the technology.

About

Technology help without the agency runaround.

I'm Phil, an experienced IT professional who enjoys solving business problems and building technology that makes things easier.

I've seen plenty of technology become more complicated than it needs to be. Small businesses often need exactly the opposite: something straightforward that works well and solves the actual problem.

That's the idea behind this business. Whether you need a professional website, help improving your online presence or a better way of handling an everyday process, you'll deal directly with the person understanding the problem and doing the work.

Good technology should make running your business easier, not give you something else to worry about.

Pricing

Pay for what your business actually needs.

I'm not going to sell you a huge package full of things you'll never use.

Every project starts with understanding what you're trying to achieve. I'll then explain what I recommend, what it will cost and what's included before any work starts.

  • Clear scope
  • Transparent pricing
  • No unnecessary features
  • No expensive agency overhead
Tell Me What You Need

Questions

The things you're probably wondering.

Can't see your question? Get in touch and ask me directly.

How much does a website cost?

It depends on what you need. I price projects around the actual scope rather than adding unnecessary features. You'll know the agreed cost before work starts.

How long does a website take?

It depends on the size of the site and how quickly the required content and feedback are available. I'll give you a realistic timeframe before the project starts.

Do I need to provide all the content?

Not necessarily. I'll need your knowledge of the business, but I can help structure and improve the website copy so visitors can quickly understand what you offer.

Can you help with domains and hosting?

Yes. I can help you understand the options and get the website set up correctly without making the process more complicated than it needs to be.

Will my website work properly on phones?

Yes. Mobile isn't treated as an afterthought. The website will be designed to work across modern phones, tablets and desktop browsers.

Can you improve my existing website?

Potentially, yes. I'll first look at what you already have and whether improving it makes more sense than rebuilding it.

Do I own my website?

Ownership and any third-party services used will be made clear before the project starts. There should be no surprises about what you're paying for or what happens if you want to move elsewhere later.

Can you help after the website goes live?

Yes. If you want ongoing help with changes, fixes or small improvements, we can agree an appropriate support arrangement.

I already use Instagram or Facebook. Do I really need a website?

Social media can be an excellent way to promote a business, but a website gives you a professional home online that you control and gives customers another reliable way to find and contact you.

Can you help with things other than websites?

Yes. If you have a repetitive process, awkward form, disconnected tools or another practical technology problem, tell me about it. If it's something I can sensibly help with, I'll explain the options.

Will my website appear on Google?

I'll build the website with sound technical SEO foundations and make sure it can be crawled properly. Search rankings depend on many factors, though, so nobody can honestly guarantee a particular position.

Will my website be secure?

Security is considered throughout the build. I favour simple architectures, HTTPS, minimal dependencies and sensible security controls rather than adding unnecessary technology that creates more things to maintain.
