The problem
Starting a business is expensive enough. Then the technology bills arrive — and it is rarely one bill. It is a collection of separate costs, each one sold to you by someone different, often before you know whether you need it.
Plenty of small businesses end up paying every month for tools and services they never use. We help you work out what is genuinely necessary, then find a practical, cost-effective way to do it properly.
How we workSome of these are essential. Some can be free. Some you can skip entirely for now. The difference between those three is where a small business saves real money — and that is the conversation we start with.
Services
Start with a website, come back for the rest as your business grows. One person who knows your business, rather than five suppliers who don't.
Our main service
Professional, responsive websites built around what your business needs — and what your budget allows.
Content changes, small fixes and ongoing support, without a monthly retainer you don't need.
A clean, recognisable logo that works on a website, a van, a shop window and a social profile.
Print-ready and digital flyers for openings, offers, events and community notices.
Branded cards that match your website and don't look like a template.
Help choosing the right platforms, setting them up properly and keeping them active.
Straight answers about hosting, domains, email and software — before you spend money.
You don't need to figure out the technology alone.
Tell us what you're trying to achieve and we'll help you find a practical, affordable way to do it.
Web development
We build websites that are quick to load, easy to read on a phone and clear about what your business does. Then we choose the most cost-effective sensible way to put them online — which, for many small business sites, means little or no ongoing hosting cost.
Not every website can run that way, and we will tell you honestly when yours can't. What we won't do is add complexity, or a monthly bill, that your business doesn't need.
Discuss Your WebsiteMost of your customers will arrive on a mobile. That is where we start.
Quick pages keep visitors on your site and help you rank better.
We recommend hosting that suits the site, not the biggest package.
If it doesn't help your customers or your business, we leave it out.
You'll know what everything costs and why, before we start.
Come back for changes whenever your business moves on.
Technical advice
A lot of technology companies make their money from subscriptions, upgrades and add-ons. So the answer is always “yes, you need this”.
We start somewhere else: what does your business actually need? Sometimes the answer costs nothing. Sometimes it means telling you that the thing you were about to buy isn't worth it yet. Either way, you get a straight answer you can act on.
