We Create Innovative Solutions for Excellence and the Future

Yes, absolutely. Once the project is complete and the final payment is made, you retain full, unrestricted ownership of your live website and all its components.

My philosophy is that you should always own your digital assets. This includes:

• Content and Data: You own 100% of all the text, images, branding, and customer data collected by the website.
• Domain Name: Your website address (e.g., yourname.co.uk) is registered in your business name, ensuring you have total control over your online identity.
• Design and Structure: You own the final visual design, the overall site architecture, and the necessary licensing for the underlying code.

I ensure that you receive all necessary files and credentials so that you are never locked into my service and have complete freedom to manage or move your website at any point.

Security is the single most important factor when building an online shop. The checkout process is built to be extremely secure, meeting current industry and bank-grade standards.

We ensure security through multiple layers to protect your customers' data:

• SSL Encryption (HTTPS): All data transmitted is protected by industry-standard SSL/TLS encryption, making the connection secure and verified.
• Third-Party Gateways: Sensitive payment data (like card numbers) is never stored on your website. Payments are handled externally by trusted, PCI DSS-compliant providers like Stripe or PayPal, who specialize in financial security.
• Data Minimisation: We adhere to strict standards, ensuring that only the absolute minimum required customer data is stored on your server for order fulfilment.

Rest assured, the safety of your customers’ financial information is the highest priority throughout the entire development process.

Yes, certainly. I can build fully functional, secure e-commerce websites that allow you to sell your products or services online 24/7.

Whether you are selling physical goods, digital downloads, or services, I create online shops that are:

• Secure: Built with industry-standard SSL encryption to keep your customers' data safe.
• Easy to Manage: I build systems with an intuitive "back office" dashboard, allowing you to easily add new products, track stock levels, and process orders yourself.
• Payment Ready: While I invoice you via GoCardless, I will set up your shop to accept instant credit and debit card payments (via secure gateways like Stripe or PayPal) so your customers can pay you easily.

Best of all, my service includes comprehensive training. I will sit down with you (or meet via video) to show you exactly how to run your store, ensuring you feel 100% confident managing orders from day one.

While my core specialization is website design and programming, I understand that a strong brand identity is absolutely fundamental to a successful digital presence.

I handle logo and branding services in two ways, depending on your specific requirements:

• Design Integration: If you already have a logo and style guide, I meticulously integrate these assets into the website design, ensuring cohesive typography, colour palettes, and overall visual style.
• New Brand Identity: If you require a completely new logo, identity, and style guide, I can either handle the creation of initial design concepts myself or, for larger projects, connect you with trusted, specialist UK graphic designers who I partner with regularly.

During our initial face-to-face consultation, we will assess your current brand assets and determine the most cost-effective strategy to ensure your digital presence is professional and cohesive.

Yes, absolutely. I am based in Somerset and I actively prefer to conduct our initial consultation face-to-face. This is a core part of my service, ensuring I genuinely understand your business before writing a single line of code.

My philosophy is that great websites start with a great conversation. The in-person meeting allows us to:

• Fully map out your business objectives and audience needs.
• Review your brand and competitor landscape together.
• Agree on a clear, fixed-price plan.

While I serve clients across the entire UK (and offer video consultations when needed), I always prioritize meeting clients across Somerset and the South West in person for this crucial discovery stage.
