What We Do

We can provide almost any IT service for small to medium sized charities. For some of our customers we provide an occasional troubleshooting service when their main IT contractors let them down. For other customers we provide all the services you would expect from an in-house IT department, everything from purchasing new computers to developing a charity's IT strategy ... but for a fraction of the cost!

What kind of websites do we build?
We have specialist experience in cgi programming, java programming, and web database applications. We can build any kind of website, including a single html front page, static html pages, XML generated site, cgi site, content-managed site, "ecommerce" site, database enabled site. We specialise in "niche" sites that require special functionality.

Can we build a cheap and cheerful website for you?
If you can supply us with some pictures from a digital camera, and the text you would like to see on your web pages, we can put it all together into an attractive website as quickly as anybody!
But you may find that even an "entry level" website is beyond your means ... if this is the case, consider that a lot of people enjoy producing websites as a hobby, and that a simple website doesn't demand a high level of technical expertise: you may well find you can get a simple site built quickly by volunteers.
