Based in York. After 22 years running enterprise IT systems for businesses across retail, healthcare, manufacturing and the public sector, I now build websites for small, medium and enterprise businesses across Yorkshire, bringing the same problem-solving approach to every one.
22 years keeping business systems running. Now I build websites the same way.
For 22 years I worked in IT as an infrastructure engineer, project manager and IT manager, for businesses in retail, healthcare, manufacturing and the public sector. The job was keeping the systems a business depends on running, and getting things back on their feet quickly when something went wrong.
Doughty Digital points that experience at websites. You get a site that looks right, and someone behind it who understands hosting, email, domains and security, because that was the day job.
Three roles, four sectors, and one constant: systems that couldn't be allowed to fall over.
Servers, networks, backups and the security that holds them together: the groundwork every business system sits on.
ERP rollouts and Microsoft 365 migrations, delivered to a plan without stopping the business while they happened.
Running IT for whole organisations: suppliers, business continuity plans and cyber security accreditations.
Websites, hosting, domains, email and phone numbers for Yorkshire businesses, from one person in York.

Habits from the server room, and what they mean for your site.
Daily backups, and a clear plan for getting your site back if something goes wrong.
Security set up from day one: SSL, security headers and software kept updated.
Your domain, email and site moved across without losing a message.
Changes made on a private staging copy first, so nothing goes live until you have checked it.
You get a website, and the person who knows what to do when something breaks.

The same four things, whatever the project.
Email, call or use the form. You hear back from me, not a ticket system.
Agreed up front, so there are no hourly surprises.
If I can't explain it without jargon, I haven't explained it properly.
The person who built your site is the one who answers when you need help.
Get in touch and I'll build you something people actually stick around for.
