Why me

The pitch

You talk to me

There is no account manager and no team to be passed between. The person who answers your email is the person writing the code.

You own it

The code is yours. No monthly licence to keep the site switched on, and no hostage situation if you decide to go elsewhere.

Plain English

I will tell you what I am doing and why, in words that mean something. If something will not work, I will say so before you have paid for it.

How it is run

Low impact

Mostly solar

The machines I design and build on run on my own solar generation about 80% of the time. I monitor it myself, with software I wrote, so that figure is measured rather than estimated.

Less hardware

Building on cloud services means you are not buying a server that sits in a cupboard drawing power and ageing out in five years. Fewer boxes bought, fewer boxes binned.

No paper

Quotes, contracts, invoices and notes are digital. Not one sheet has been printed since the day this started, and none needs to be.
