I build websites, fix computers and keep small offices running.
I'm Nick, and Reverse Polarity Studios is me. I build websites and software, repair computers, build custom PCs and look after small-office IT. Every job, from the first email to the handover, is done by me, in the evenings and at weekends, one project at a time.
Forward
Software
Websites, web apps and the integrations between them.
Reverse
Hardware
Custom builds, repairs, upgrades and IT support.

What I do
Four services, one bench.
Pick one to see what you get, what it costs and how long it takes.
Who you'll be dealing with
One person, start to finish.
Most businesses that need a website eventually need a computer fixed, and most offices that need their IT sorted have software that needs looking after. I do both, so the person who builds your booking system can also fix the laptop it runs on, and you have one person to call.
You'll always deal with me
The person who quotes the job is the person who does it. No account managers, no subcontractors.
Nothing gets lost in a handover
There isn't one. I know your project because I've done every part of it.
One project at a time
I don't juggle several builds at once, so yours gets my full attention.
Clear about limits
Evenings and weekends only, and no emergency cover. If that rules me out, I would rather say so up front.

We hired Nick to help us get our business started. The main work was our website and getting our bookings up and running, which he did expertly and provided invaluable advice about SEO and how to increase customer engagement. This was fantastic, but doesn’t scratch the surface of the other work Nick helped us with! He helped integrate our hint system into our escape rooms, assisted with our Internet and networking problems, and designed and installed tech into our rooms. He’s also helped us on numerous occasions with any technical difficulties we’ve had, and has done so swiftly, and with kindness. I can’t recommend Nick enough and I don’t know where we’d be without him!
Across 5 years and counting, we have always returned to Nick to ensure our new projects, upgrades, and expansions have gone smoothly. Honestly we would not be in the position we are now without him!
Yes. Reverse Polarity Studios is me, Nick Metcalfe. I do every job myself, from the quote to the handover, with no team or subcontractors behind me. That caps how much I take on at once (usually one project plus bench work).
Evenings and weekends. I run Reverse Polarity alongside a full-time job. Evening and weekend visits also suit people who work during the day.
Yes. I can build your website and also set up the machines and the network it runs on, so you have one person to call for both.
Yes. A one-page site, a single upgrade, a laptop that keeps crashing: all fine. Below about £800 I quote a fixed day rate instead of a project price.
