Behind the scenes

The IT bits other designers don't always think about.

22 years in enterprise IT means the unglamorous stuff is second nature. Here's what's running underneath every site.

Backups

Automated daily backups via the hosting infrastructure, retained 30 days. If something goes wrong, restoring to yesterday is straightforward.

Security basics

SSL configured properly, security headers set, software kept updated. The fundamentals done right — because I know what they look like when they're not.

Performance & hosting

Fast, reliable UK hosting with solid uptime. Built for speed from day one: page load times, image optimisation, caching, not bolted on afterwards.

DNS & email continuity

Domains and DNS configured properly during any rebuild or hosting move, so email keeps flowing without interruption when the new site goes live.

Uptime monitoring

The site is watched around the clock, so if something goes down I know before a client does, rather than finding out from a lost enquiry.

Access & handover

Individual logins, not shared passwords lying in an email thread. Access is granted properly and cleanly revoked when someone leaves the business.
