Agree scope and price
Projects start from £4k. For small jobs below about £800, I quote a fixed day rate instead of a project price.
Build
Lead time is typically 6 to 10 weeks, because I build in the evenings and at weekends. I take on one project at a time, so yours has my full attention.
Handover
You get the repository, a deploy script and 30 days of fixes. After that, further work is quoted as new work.

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. 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.
Software ships with the repository, a deploy script and 30 days of fixes. Repairs carry a 90-day warranty on labour, and parts follow the supplier's warranty. After that, further work is quoted as new work.
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.
Software, yes, anywhere, as long as our working hours overlap with UK hours. Repairs, builds and IT support are local to Paisley and Glasgow, with remote sessions for software faults.
