Overview

An independent view, with no agenda

Agencies have an incentive to sell you work. Suppliers have an incentive to sell you their product. A good consultant’s only job is to tell you the truth about your situation and help you make a sound decision. That’s what we offer.

Whether you’re planning a new website, questioning whether your current one is fit for purpose, evaluating a quote from another agency, or working out what to do about a digital problem — an hour’s conversation can save you a lot of time and money.

Website review

Find out what’s actually wrong (and what isn’t)

We’ll look at your existing site with fresh eyes — performance, structure, content, SEO and usability — and give you a clear picture of where the problems are and how serious they are.

Get your digital project scoped before you spend anything

Many small business web projects go wrong because they weren’t properly defined before work started. We help you get clear on what you actually need, what it should cost, and how to evaluate proposals.

Supplier brief writing and proposal review
Help understanding and comparing quotes

Technology decisions

Pick the right platform for the next five years
