Getting the hosting set up properly, moved off whatever it's on now, or made reliable enough that nobody thinks about it again. Start with a £900 audit if you'd rather know what you're dealing with first.
Free 30 minutes. No pitch, no obligation.
A surprising number of businesses run something on hosting nobody has looked at in years. It was set up by a developer who has left, and the login is in a spreadsheet. It works, until the afternoon it does not.
This is the work of putting that right. Moving off it, and setting up something you actually own. Deployments, backups and monitoring get to the point where a bad day is an inconvenience rather than a crisis.
Kryspin, our co-founder, leads this. System architecture is what he does when he isn't writing application code. The person designing your infrastructure is the same person who understands what runs on it.
This is probably you if
- Nobody currently at your business set up the hosting.
- You're on shared hosting and have outgrown it, or suspect you have.
- Deploying a change is a manual process that somebody dreads.
- You have no idea whether your backups would actually restore.
Sound familiar? We'll tell you honestly whether we can help.
Tell us what's going on
What that involves
Migration
Moving off the current host without a day of downtime and without losing the email nobody remembered was attached to it. Planned, rehearsed, then done out of hours.
Hosting set up properly
Laravel Cloud, AWS or your own provider, configured for what you actually run rather than a default that assumes a blog. In your account and your name, so it's yours.
Deployment that's not manual
Changes going live from a pipeline rather than somebody dragging files at nine at night. Faster, and it removes the most common way a live site breaks.
Backups you have tested
Automated, off site, and restored at least once in front of you. An untested backup is a belief, not a backup.
Monitoring and alerts
Knowing the site is down before a customer rings to tell you, and having enough detail to know why rather than guessing.
Security and access
Certificates, firewalls, patching and getting credentials out of the spreadsheet and into somewhere access can be removed when somebody leaves.
“Kryspin and Luke built the system the club runs on: classes, timetables, course blocks and bookings in one place, with parents able to book a spot themselves instead of ringing us. They were very professional, responsive, and transparent throughout the project. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and experienced software engineering or website designing company.”

Why people choose us.
Plenty of studios can build you a website. Here's what tends to make the difference.
Design and engineering, one team
The people who name it and draw it sit with the people who build it. No handover between two suppliers, and no gap in the middle for you to manage.
We'll tell you not to spend
If a tidy-up solves it, we'll say so rather than sell you a rebuild. We'd rather lose the bigger job than take money for something that won't pay back.
You talk to the people building it
Founder-led, so there's no account manager relaying your question to someone you never meet. Decisions get made in the same conversation.
A fixed price before we start
You get the number up front, after a free call. No day rate quietly ticking over and no invoice that surprises you at the end.
You own all of it
Code, designs, hosting, repositories. No proprietary platform you can't leave and no licence that grows every time you hire someone.
Offices you can actually visit
Leicester and Huddersfield. Happy to sit down with you and map the thing out in person, happy to keep it to a call if that's easier.
Questions, answered.
