Microsoft Access database design, development and maintenance

Often in a small business you need a solution to assist in managing your business but cannot find a cost-effective software solution off the shelf, this is where a Microsoft Access database can help.  Many customers already have a licence for Microsoft Access as part of their office subscription and developing a solution in Access can be fast and effective.

WordPress website development and maintenance

WordPress

I can assist you in the development, publication and maintenance of a WordPress website.  WordPress is the most popular content management system (CMS) to use when building a website today, with over 30% of all websites using the WordPress platform (you can view the Survey results on the w3techs.com website ).  WordPress can handle a wide variety of website needs ranging from a personal blog to a complex business site and can even handle running an online store using the very popular WooCommerce plugin.

Drupal 7 website maintenance and migration to Backdrop

Do you need assistance in the maintenance or migration of a Drupal 7 Website.  As you may know Drupal 7 is approaching end of life which means current users will need to upgrade to Drupal 8 or consider alternatives.  If you are looking at upgrade options you might consider Backdrop CMS.

General website maintenance

When you have a website built using products like WordPress, Drupal, Backdrop or any other content management system it is of the utmost importance that you keep the software up to date to limit your vulnerability to attack from hackers.  I can provide a regular maintenance service to ensure all patches and updates are applied to your site.  All updates are applied to an offsite test environment first to ensure they are stable prior to applying them to your live site.
