If you've come here to take a look at what we do, we expect that you think our productivity is a bit limited, given our lack of social media posts. Not so. We've been very busy. 2024-2025 has been an interesting time, to say the least. As well as working with our...

our take on projects
We now never take on projects that don't personally interest us. If we don't get that feeling immediately, from experience, we know it's not for us. In the past, we had to take on projects which, if we are honest now, looking back, didn't float our boats at all. Our...
Hosting
We’re sometimes asked what “hosting” involves and what people are actually paying for, so we thought it would be a good idea to provide an explanation for what the annual charge of £200 covers. We pay for server space and like any company who does this, we then charge...
