We are not in the business of causing stress to our clients or ourselves. We just want to do good work. We have worked with clients before on things we've not done before, we've been honest.

Education

If you want to understand, we can explain. Some clients generally would like to know how something works, (others don't care as long as it does). He can help you or your staff with processes or documentation of your setup whether we have created it or discovered it with you. Documentation of your systems gives you the flexiblity of either taking your system in house or reduce your own costs if you can resolve an issue yourself. It allows people to 'hit the ground' running, and is generally a good business ethic and has value to your business.

We can manually monitor or build systems in place to keep an eye on things. Most of the time we can point out good 3rd party services which can help with most applications, however, if its a be-spoke system hidden deep within your network, we can help.

To give you an idea, here are a few things we've done...

When we say we do be-spoke systems here is a few off requests we've had.

Our site need to work in China!

A client (another agency) was having intermittent issues with one of their clients, serving a WordPress website globally, including China. After much negotiation with a Chinese hosting company, we where able to create and setup a slave version of the main site, which was kept upto date by the master version and serve China with this version.

I want a copy of my company here

A CEO of a e-Commerce company wanted a remote copy of everything from his company documents, databases, source code and live assets all stored within his own control. We created a backup solution to store everything should the worse happen in his double garage.

DDos Prevention

A client was constantly taking fraudulent users and constantly getting scanned for potential vulnerabilities on their servers. By automatically blocking IP's and sending a message to their internal Slack channel is what they wanted, which they got.
