Built properly, owned by you.

We design, build and run the technology that small and mid-sized businesses depend on: websites and web applications, cloud hosting, Microsoft 365, data pipelines and automation. We build on platforms with low running costs and no lock-in, and we put every account in the client's name.

What we do

Websites and web applications

Research, positioning and copy as well as design and build. Fast, static sites for practices and small businesses; full web applications with sign-in, data and offline support where the business needs them. Installable as apps on phones without an app store where that is enough.

Hosting, domains and DNS

Hosting on Cloudflare's network, with the account in your name. Domain and DNS audits, safe migrations between providers, and go-live plans that protect your email and can be rolled back in one step.

Microsoft 365

Tenant audits, migration away from a reseller or support provider, mail and DNS records, Lists, SharePoint and Power Automate set up to fit how you actually work.

Data pipelines and reporting

Collecting data from the systems and public sources you rely on, checking it, storing it properly and turning it into the pages, reports or feeds you need. Scheduled, logged and monitored.

Automation and AI agents

Repetitive digital work (collecting, checking, drafting, publishing) handled by AI agents with defined roles, rate limits, an audit trail and a person approving anything that goes out. We have run this for our own products and know where it pays off and where it does not.

Document and compliance tooling

Tracked-changes review of engagement letters, terms and policies against the relevant professional guidance; bespoke tools for document-heavy work.


How we build

  • Separate development and live environments; nothing reaches live without your sign-off.
  • Automated checks before each release: browser walkthroughs at phone and desktop sizes, data-isolation tests, page-speed checks.
  • Independent review of each release, with a written report and a rollback plan.
  • Privacy and UK GDPR considered before anything goes public.
  • Documentation handed over so another supplier could pick the work up.

Typical engagements

  • A new website for a professional practice, from positioning and copy to go-live, with email and DNS migrated safely.
  • A web or mobile app built from an idea to a working product, with the client owning the code and the accounts.
  • A data collection and publishing pipeline that replaces hours of manual gathering and posting each week.
  • An audit of a business's domains, email and Microsoft 365 setup, with a plan to take control of them.
