one person,
on the black isle.
i'm calum. i build websites and look after IT for small businesses and charities. i find what is there before recommending what should be, i use open tools so you are never stuck with me, and i would rather something be good enough and maintainable than clever and fragile.
principles
built to last,
built to last,
not to trend.
-
01
good enough, and maintainable
the right amount of technology for the job, and no more.
-
02
open tools, no lock-in
your site, data and accounts are yours. you can leave whenever you like.
-
03
written down
every job ends with notes someone else could follow.
-
04
one person to call
no account managers, no ticket queue. you talk to me.
