web design and IT support in Farnham
Across the county, and the kind of town where the network matters as much as the website.
About half an hour across on the A31, and regularly, because some of this work is on site.
Farnham has a particular mix: architects, consultancies and design studios in converted buildings, often with a network somebody set up years ago and nobody has looked at since. The website is frequently the thing that prompts the call, and the wiring behind it is frequently what actually needs the attention.
OSP Architecture are here, and theirs is a good illustration of why the two sides belong together: when a core switch starts dropping out, the person who knows the site is more use than a ticket queue that has never seen it.
For a practice in Farnham the useful combination is usually a site that shows the work properly, hosting and email that somebody answers for, and a managed network with UniFi kit that reports its own faults rather than waiting for somebody to notice. All three from one person is the point.
what Farnham practices ask for
WordPress Design
Most WordPress sites are a bought theme with somebody else's logo swapped out. Yours gets designed around what you actually need to say, and built so that changing it afterwards does not mean ringing me.
more about thisWeb & Email Hosting
UK hosting for websites and mailboxes, with a person on the end of it. When email stops on a Friday afternoon you are speaking to whoever set it up, not filing a ticket and waiting.
more about thisCloud Servers & VPS
For when shared hosting has run out of room. Specified for the workload you have rather than the biggest number on a pricing page, then patched and monitored without you having to ask.
more about thisIT Support & Consultancy
The person who built your website also knows why the printer has stopped talking to the network. Delivered alongside MFC IT Services, who I have worked with for more than six years.
more about thisquestions people ask
Do you do networks as well as websites?
Yes. Wireless, firewalls and switching, specified and installed and then monitored rather than forgotten. I run a multi-site UniFi controller, so a site I look after tells me when something has gone wrong rather than waiting for somebody to ring.
Our site was built by someone who has gone quiet. Can you take it on?
Usually. The first job is finding out what it is actually built on and who holds the keys, which is a short piece of work and worth doing before anything else is decided.
How often would you be on site?
As often as it needs and no more. Most things are done remotely; the visits are for the ones that genuinely need somebody in the building.
