What we offer

Web Design

We specialize in the creation and management of small to medium size websites for individuals, businesses, and non-profits. We can turn your text, graphics, and ideas into a working website, or we can design a site for you from scratch. We have particular expertise in the use of PHP code and MySQL databases to generate sites with timely, active, content, and can give you the tools to update the content of your new site from your own internet-connected computer, just using a browser.

If you have an older site, using Microsoft's FrontPage Extensions, and you are appropriately concerned that this web technology is now obsolete, we can rewrite it to be compliant with the latest standards, while retaining the best features of your old design.

Database Design

We specialize in the production of small- to medium-scale custom database applications using Microsoft Access®. Among applications we have developed in the past are a scheduling application for the Adult Education Department of a British School District (which we continue to update on an annual basis and support) and a comprehensive application to assist with ministry and keep track of church members for a Catholic Parish in England.

Energy Management Services

We review the use of energy within a house or business office and advise on measures to be taken to reduce electricity usage and utility costs. Our primary focus is on measures that should be within the competence and/or control of the typical home or office owner, though we will suggest and advise on more complex, technological, approaches if these seem to be likely to generate significant savings. Many of the measures that we advocate will be discussed, in general terms, on some new pages which will be appearing on this site within the next few weeks.

Fees and Charges

Our IT consuting rates are based on the time and effort involved in a project. We generally quote a maximum fee in advance, which includes all necessary email and telephone support for one year and the correction of any bugs which may surface during that time. We routinely discount our hourly rates for churches and religious charities.

There is no charge for an initial consultation, including travel for up to 10 miles or 30 minutes from our base.

For energy use surveys and reporting we will quote a flat fee, based on the size of the property involved, plus travel costs for locations beyond 10 miles or 30 minutes from our base.

Examples of our Work

We designed and manage the websites of The Knights of the Holy Sepulchre of England and Wales and
