My Story
The Same Thing, Again And Again.
Years of building websites and shooting photography for Cambridge businesses, long enough to watch the same two stories repeat.
Situation one
Hire it out
- The site gets built
- It gets handed over
- From there, you are on your own
- Thousands already paid, yet every change or extra costs again
- Domain and hosting stay tied to whoever set it up
Nobody sets out to trap you. It is just how the standard arrangement works, and I am often the one untangling it.
Situation two
Do it yourself
- Evenings given up to a page builder
- Design, words and Google, all guessed at as you go
- A site that looks nearly right
- And quietly costs you customers
- And is still yours to maintain, forever
I understand the temptation. The cheap route has a way of becoming the expensive one.
I always felt small businesses deserved a fairer deal.
A few thousand pounds up front is a serious sum. That money does far more good kept in the business:
Easing cash flowAn extra pair of handsKeeping things running
Not spent on a website that never quite earns its keep.
