Hi, I'm Ben.
Your website, hosting and the boring stuff, looked after.
I look after the technical side of small and medium-sized businesses: your website, where it's hosted, your email, and the jobs that don't have an obvious owner.
If something's slowing you down, eating someone's afternoon every week, or nobody's quite sure how it works; I can probably help.
What I do
Updating your website
Bringing the site you've already got up to date: quicker, works properly on phones, easier for you to change. Or a fresh one if it's past saving.
Hosting, handled
I host it and keep it running, backed up and patched, so it's one less thing on your list. Happy to move you off a host you're fed up with.
Better tech, where it helps
A look at what you're using now and an honest view on whether something newer, simpler or cheaper would serve you better. No pushing things you don't need.
Automating the boring stuff
Copying orders between systems, updating spreadsheets, chasing stock levels, sending the same emails. If a person does it by hand every week, a script can usually do it instead.
Email & domains
Proper email on your own domain with a provider that respects your privacy, moving everything across from what you've got now, and fixing mail that lands in spam.
Anything else
Not sure it fits any of the above? Ask anyway. If I can't help, I'll try to point you at someone who can.
How it works
- We have a chat about what's bothering you.
- I tell you plainly what I'd do and why, before any work starts.
- I do it, explain it in normal words, and keep looking after it afterwards if you'd like.
About me
I've spent 13+ years building and running systems for businesses, from warehouse and stock tools to the servers underneath. If you want the long version, it's on my CV.
