Solving problems for small businesses and business owners is something I've done all my working life and I still love to help where I can.

The challenges today for business owners are considerable. In a smaller business, the owner wears many hats. Financial Controller, Head Of Sales, Marketing Manager, Customer Support and Service Delivery Manager to name but a few.

And then there's the technology that is so critical to a small business these days. Your website is the central hub of your online marketing and needs to be performing at its best at all times. If you are feeling overwhelmed by your website and suspect that you could be doing things better, then maybe I can help.

"Gordon is a professional 5 star specialist. He has been helping us with various 'technology' problems for a number of years. I would highly recommend him to anyone."

Personal services crafted specifically for you


WordPress Development

WordPress runs around one third of all the websites you will use in your browser today. It's easy to get started with WordPress, but getting it to fly and remain secure is something I specialise in.

I set up a business called Nimble Digital around my expertise in WordPress, where you can have your WordPress website designed, developed, hosted and supported through a Care Plan.

WordPress Managed Hosting

A critical part of any website and its performance is the way it's hosted. If you have a hobby website, you are best to go with one of the big name, low budget providers.

If your website is a business website built with WordPress, you need to ensure that the hosting is optimised, managed and secured with a provider who understands business grade service provision. I can advise and even supply that service directly to you.

Business Email Configuration

We all have a love-hate relationship with email, but it is one of our biggest communication tools today. If you need some help configuring email addresses or migrating to another service provider, I can help.

Who I am working with

Let's have a 15 min chat and see if I can help or signpost where to get help with your website challenges.

Get Started

Entrepreneurs

Busy entrepreneurs may well embrace the need for technology, but most do not have the time to study and get the best from it — so they ask me and I either help them directly or signpost where best to get the help they need.

Business Owners

Like entrepreneurs, business owners cannot afford to get bogged down in the details of making their business communications slick. I work with a number of business owners to help them with their online technology.

Agencies

I support a few agencies with their need to have critical systems and infrastructure backed up and monitored against security risks. I've also helped configure challenging content management based websites.

Maybe you?

Maybe you have a website or email issue or some other technology challenge. Or it may be that as an entrepreneur, your biggest challenge is NOT knowing what your 'biggest' challenge actually is.

Landing Pages 101: How To Make Your Website Work For You

You’ve seen the websites before – you know, the kind that have so much crammed into it that it instantly sends you scrambling for the back button. Varying fonts, tons of colours, unappealing pictures, and more words than a dictionary come together in a sort of melting pot of landing page purgatory. This eye sore isn’t what you want. First of all, it’s hideous. It also doesn’t generate leads or convert views into sales.

3 Ways To Quickly Start Selling Your Local Products Online

I’ve had a few conversations with business owners over the last couple of weeks about how they could possibly take their product line and quickly “get online” and provide a home delivery service for some if not all of their products. This is the time that they are realising that the idea of having some form of “ecommerce” option was something they should have pursued before now.
