Practical IT, Telecoms & Web Engineering
Unlike many IT companies, I come from an engineering background. My focus is on reliable, maintainable and cost-effective solutions rather than unnecessary complexity. Whether you need a website, a Linux server, a business phone system, network infrastructure, or workstation support, I provide practical solutions that simply work.
I believe technology should solve problems, not create them.
Custom PC, Workstation & Server Builds
Need a new computer but don't want a generic off-the-shelf system packed with unwanted software and components? I can design, build and configure custom systems tailored to your exact requirements and budget.
Whether you need a Linux workstation, a high-performance gaming PC, a business desktop, a Proxmox virtualisation host or a dedicated server, every system is specified with reliability, performance and future upgradeability in mind.

- Operating system installation and configuration (Windows or Linux)

Every system is assembled, configured and tested before delivery. No unnecessary software, no vendor bloatware, and no components chosen purely to meet a price point.
The result is a computer or server built specifically for the job you need it to do.

Website Design & Development
Despite the appearance of this website, I really do build websites.
The philosophy is simple:
- Fast
- Secure
- Accessible
- Reliable
- Easy to maintain
Many modern websites rely on large frameworks, third-party libraries and countless plugins. While these tools have their place, they often introduce unnecessary complexity, security concerns and ongoing maintenance requirements/
Where practical, websites are built from the ground up using clean, standards-compliant HTML, CSS and PHP, with minimal dependencies and no unnecessary bloat. This results in faster loading times, improved reliability, easier maintenance and complete control over your website without being tied to a particular platform or vendor.
I specialise in:
- Bespoke website development
- Small business websites
- Club and charity websites
- Personal websites
- Responsive design
- Secure administration systems
- Website hosting
- Performance optimisation
- Installation and support for wordpress
Every project is designed around the client's requirements rather than forcing them into a predefined platform.
Programming & Custom Development
Sometimes off-the-shelf software isn't enough.
Development services include:
- PHP, HTML, CSS development
- C for embedded systems and microcontroller development
- Bash scripting
- Linux automation
- Backend development
- System integration

From simple utilities to complete business systems, custom software can often provide a better solution than expensive subscription services.
