Building a website is only the start. To keep doing its job, it needs a good home, regular care, solid security and a bit of attention so people can find it. That’s where I come in.

Website care in Belfast, Northern Ireland

I’ve spent twenty years building and looking after websites and web applications, for everyone from local businesses and charities to banks, universities and international brands. I’m based in Belfast, so you’ll have a real person nearby who knows your site, answers your questions in plain English and gets things sorted when you need them.

Say hello

Honest, impartial advice

I’m not tied to any hosting company, domain registrar or plugin vendor, so I’ll only ever recommend what genuinely suits your site and your budget. Sometimes that means a simple, low-cost option; sometimes it means something more robust. Either way, you’ll know why.

Security you can rely on

A compromised website can mean lost data, spam, damaged search rankings and worried customers. I build security in from the start and keep on top of it afterwards:

  • Server and WordPress hardening, with sensible permissions and firewalls
  • Regular plugin and code audits, and prompt updates when vulnerabilities are announced
  • Content Security Policies that stop malicious scripts in their tracks
  • SPF, DKIM and DMARC records to protect your domain and your email
  • Fast, methodical clean-up if the worst does happen

Fast, and easy to find

Speed and search go hand in hand. Slow pages lose visitors and rank lower, so I tune hosting, caching, images and code to keep things quick, and make sure search engines can understand your content with clean structure, structured data and properly managed redirects. Then I’ll help you measure what’s working with simple, privacy-friendly analytics.
