Services
What I do
Three things, and I'd rather be clear about the boundaries than list twenty.
All of it is planned work, scoped before it starts. How I work sets out what each shape costs and how it's bought.
Cloud infrastructure and operations
Keeping production systems up, which is the part most people find out is hard afterwards.
- AWS architecture and multi-server estates
- Cloudflare, Linux, database performance
- Backup, disaster recovery, security hardening
Integration and data
Your website, your accounts package, your CRM and your supplier's feed don't talk to each other.
- PHP, REST and SOAP APIs
- MySQL, MariaDB, Aurora
- Migrations and reporting pipelines
AI, applied properly
On your infrastructure, against your data. Not a wrapper around someone else's API.
- Production AI built on AWS services
- Runs inside your own environment
- Designed by someone who knows the database underneath
Six other things I sell
Not services, but on the same shelf
WordPress hosting and care
For a business whose WordPress site matters to it. Your site on a hardened server I manage, updated, backed up and monitored, with one named person who knows it. From £25 a month excluding VAT.
Websites, £99 a year
A one page website on your own domain, for a sole trader or a small local business. £49 to set up, then £99 a year, both including VAT.
Brochure websites
A multi page website on your own domain, for a business with more than one thing to explain. £595 to build up to six pages, £995 with the writing, then £199 a year, all excluding VAT.
Business email
A real mailbox at your own domain from £50 a year, set up and moved across by a person rather than by a support article.
Website security testing
A plain-English security test of your website, run with your written permission and explained by a person. There's a free check that reads what your site already tells every visitor, and a full report at £595 plus VAT.
Domains
Registered in your name, pointed where they should be, and renewed before they lapse. With somebody who will tell you what any of it actually means.
