What we do
Eight services, one accountable team
Most clients start with one a site rebuild, a store review, an AI pilot and add others as they grow. Same engineers, same standards, one point of contact.
WordPress Development
We rebuild WordPress the way it should have been done: a custom block theme, no plugin sprawl, and editors who can publish without raising a ticket.
ExploreShopify & E-commerce
We treat the storefront as a conversion problem, not a design exercise: measure, fix the friction, and prove the lift.
ExploreAI & Automation
We start from a task that costs you real hours, prove the saving on a small slice, and only then build it properly.
ExploreSoftware Development
We start with the workflow, not the technology, and ship something usable in weeks rather than quarters.
ExploreManaged IT Services
We take ownership of your entire IT estate for a fixed monthly fee so problems get fixed before you notice them and your budget stops springing surprises.
ExploreCloud & Backup
We migrate workloads over a weekend, tune the bill every month, and test restores quarterly so recovery is a routine, not a gamble.
ExploreIT Support
A named team that knows your setup, answers in minutes and closes most issues on the first contact.
ExploreIT Consulting
We are not reselling anyone's licences. You get a costed, prioritised plan you can take to the board and deliver with us or without us.

The partner you would build yourself
We started in 2015 because good businesses were being sold complexity and given call-centre support. Ten years on the promise is unchanged: senior engineers, plain English, and numbers we publish whether they flatter us or not.
- Fixed-scope quotes. Written, itemised, agreed before work starts — no open-ended meters.
- Named engineers. You will know who answers, and they will know your setup.
- Measured, not asserted. Every project ends with the numbers next to the promises.
- No lock-in. You own the code, the accounts and the data always.

- Step 2A proposal on two pages
Scope, approach, timeline and a fixed quote. Options, not a single take-it-or-leave-it number.
- Step 3Build in the open
Weekly demos on a staging URL. You reprioritise between sprints, and you can stop at any boundary.
- Step 4Measure, then improve
Launch, hypercare, and a monthly report showing what changed including when the answer is 'not much'.
