Written When There Is Something Worth Saying
Not a content schedule. Pieces go up when a question comes round often enough on UK calls to be worth answering properly — procurement, sterling budgets, data residency, and the parts of a supplier relationship nobody puts in a proposal.
Nothing Published Here Yet
That is the honest state of it. The site has just launched and we would rather leave this page empty than pad it with three hundred words of filler and a stock photograph. When something goes up it will be because a question came round often enough on calls to deserve a written answer, and it will carry a date you can check.
In the meantime the pages below already answer most of what an article would: the FAQ runs to twenty-five questions with real answers, the calculator gives you an indicative sterling range in about a minute, and the contact form gets you a written scope and budget at no cost and with nothing to sign.
The Four Subjects We Keep Being Asked About
These are the recurring conversations on UK calls. When one of them has a decent written answer, it lands on this page.
Budgets, VAT and procurement
- Why two quotations for the same brief can differ by a factor of four, and which assumptions are hiding inside the cheaper one.
- Reading a proposal properly: what is excluded, what is a third-party cost, and what happens when scope moves.
- Getting software through a procurement process that was written for stationery and vehicle hire.
Data protection in practice
- What UK GDPR actually changes about a database schema, rather than about a policy page.
- Data residency: pinning a build to a UK region and the supporting services that quietly undo it.
- Servicing a subject access or erasure request when the data is spread across five systems.
Scope, sprints and slipping
- Cutting a first release down to something that genuinely proves the idea, and what belongs in phase two.
- Why projects stall in planning, and the point at which a specification stops adding information.
- What a healthy fortnight looks like from the client side, and the early signs that one was not.
Ownership, exit and inherited code
- Who should hold the repository, the cloud account and the developer programme membership, and why it matters from week one.
- What an NDA protects, what it does not, and why assignment of copyright has to be in writing here.
- Taking over a codebase the last developer left behind: what to audit first and when a rebuild is genuinely cheaper.
