Freya the Cockapoo | Personal Website Design, Hosting and Support

Sally and I have worked together for the best part of 20 years, going back to when I delivered the website for Manchester Grammar School, where she worked at the time. Over the years I have built and managed sites for her own business as well. When she wanted a dedicated home online for Freya, her cockapoo, she knew where to come.

My solution

The brief was simple: a friendly, easy-to-manage site for sharing Freya’s adventures, photos, and stories. It started as a blog around nine years ago and has grown steadily into a full website that Sally updates regularly herself.

The design reflects Freya’s character: clean, warm, and unpretentious, with room for photography to do the talking. Blog-style updates, image galleries, and a fully responsive layout mean it works properly on whatever device someone happens to be reading it on.

Hosting is managed UK-based hosting with daily backups, SSL, and solid performance, so the site loads quickly and stays online. Sally does not need to think about any of that. I handle it.

From the initial build to where the site is now, I have looked after everything: the domain, the hosting, updates, and any support Sally needs when she wants to make changes or try something new.

Results

Nine years in, the site is still running well and Sally is still adding to it. She manages the day-to-day content herself without needing technical help for the routine stuff, and I am there when she does need anything. It is a simple arrangement that works because the setup was done properly from the start.

What clients say

Rather than follow the financial services’ traditional approach to website design, I wanted something a little different to reflect my professional style of delivery as a lifestyle financial adviser. Paul helped us create a unique, user-friendly website to our exact specification. Nothing was too much trouble during the build and Paul has hosted and managed the website for us ever since without any issues. We highly recommend his services and expertise!

It’s been regularly updated to incorporate the latest technology to make it very easy to manage myself, with Paul always on hand to assist with tweaks and suggestions. Paul is a real expert in his field and explains everything in clear and simple terms. He’s my go-to person for all things tech!

Paul delivered exactly what we needed for our new website. The design perfectly expanded our existing branding, creating a clean, user-friendly site that features our menu, blog and events calendar. Everything looks professional and works seamlessly.

As the clerk to the trustees/manager I could not be happier with the service from Paul. From the very start, he walked us through the entire process with patience and clarity, making sure everything made sense to us. He understood exactly what our charity needed and helped us save valuable funds by guiding us through Non-Profit Microsoft services. Nothing was too much trouble and he is always there when we need support. We are so grateful to have someone so reliable and knowledgeable helping us make the most of our online presence. We will be using Paul to create our website in the near future. We highly recommend him.
