Witham, Essex · Building for the web since 2001

Web development, hosting and design.

We are a small, senior team doing three things properly: writing the software, looking after the hosting and email behind it, and making it look like it belongs to your business.

The useful parts, wired into what you already run.

01 · Development

Yes, ColdFusion still exists.

It also still runs a great deal of serious business software — ticketing, shops, member systems, reporting — quietly and without drama. We have written CFML since 2001, through Allaire, Macromedia, Adobe and now Lucee, and we are perfectly happy to keep doing it.

If you have inherited a ColdFusion application and nobody left will touch it, that is very much our sort of problem. If you would rather move it to something else, we will tell you honestly whether that is worth the money.

ColdFusion & CFML

New builds, rescues and long-term maintenance on Adobe ColdFusion and Lucee. Legacy code read, understood and made safe before anything gets changed.

Databases

Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL and PostgreSQL — schema design, query tuning, migrations between them, and the reporting your business actually asked for.

MS SQL
MySQL
PostgreSQL

PHP & WordPress

Custom PHP where it fits, and WordPress when a client wants to write their own pages. Themes, plugins, and the unglamorous business of keeping both patched.

Apps & integrations

Online shops, ticketing, e-newsletters and member areas — plus the API work that makes them talk to your payment provider, accounts package or CRM.

02 · Hosting

Hosting from the people who wrote the site

ColdFusion, PHP and WordPress hosting, with the domains and mailboxes to go with it. You get one number for all of it, and somebody who knows how your site is built — so nothing gets lost between the developer and the hosting.

WordPress

£9/month

A sensible starting point for a new venture.

Managed WordPress platform
Choose your own theme and plugins
SSL certificate included
Daily backups

Domains and email, as a service of their own

Domain registration and renewals, transfers in from another registrar, and DNS changes whenever the site or the mail needs them. Mailboxes on your own domain — set up, migrated off an old provider, and looked after afterwards.

Priced per domain and per mailbox rather than bundled into the hosting, so you only pay for what you actually use. Tell us what you have and we will quote.

Prices exclude VAT. Domains and mailboxes are charged separately — see above.

03 · Design & branding

A business that looks like it means it

Good code is invisible. Your identity is not. We design the website, then carry the same thinking through to the logo, the stationery, the exhibition stand and the van.

Low cost, quick turnaround, and no committee — most design work is with you inside a few days.

The palette on this page, for instance. Six colours, one rule each.

Web design

From a smart pre-designed layout to a fully bespoke build, responsive and fast on a phone.

Corporate identity

Logo design or a complete rebrand, with the colour, type and usage rules written down.

✎

Print & graphic

Business cards, brochures, signage and display stands — print-ready artwork, correctly set up.

04 · AI services

AI, with the hype removed

We are not going to tell you that AI changes everything. We will tell you which of your jobs it can genuinely take off your desk this month, and which it cannot do reliably enough to trust with a customer.

Everything we build here sits on top of the systems you already have — your database, your documents, your website.

Assistants on your own content

A chat assistant that answers from your product data and documents, not from the open internet.
Document & data extraction

Turning PDFs, orders, emails and scanned forms into rows in your database, checked before they land.
Drafting and summarising

Product copy, newsletter drafts and report summaries generated to your house style, for a human to approve.
AI inside existing apps

API integration into your ColdFusion, PHP or WordPress site, so the feature appears where staff already work.

05 · Clients

Names we have looked after

Clients past and present, over twenty-five years. We have never been a high-turnover agency — several of these relationships run into double figures in years, which we think says more than a gallery of screenshots would.
