Your Website Is Either Secure Or It Isn't
Halifax based security and web development. We build websites properly or fix the ones that weren't.
See What We Do
Here's The Problem
Every week, another Yorkshire business gets hit with a data breach. Their customer details get leaked, GDPR fines start rolling in, and their reputation takes a battering. The worst part? Most of these problems come from websites that were never built properly in the first place. AI tools can spit out a website in minutes, freelancers can throw something together for cheap, but neither can promise you'll be secure. That's where we come in. We're based in Halifax, and we build websites that won't land you in hot water. Want to talk about it? We can have a chat on the phone or grab a brew locally and go through what you need. No pressure, just honest advice from someone you can actually meet.
Security Checks
We run proper security audits on every website we touch. Already got a site? We'll check it for vulnerabilities before something goes wrong.
GDPR Compliant
We make sure your site follows the rules. No data breaches, no fines, no headaches. Just proper compliance from day one.
Built Properly
We use modern tools and yes, AI helps us work faster. But we know what we're doing. Every line of code gets checked by someone who understands it.
Local Support
Based in Halifax, serving Yorkshire businesses. When you need help, you get a real person who knows your area. We can chat on the phone or meet for a brew and talk through it properly.
Honest Pricing
A few hundred quid for security beats thousands in fines and lost customers. We're upfront about costs and what you actually need.
Fast Turnaround
We don't mess about. Security audits done quickly, websites built efficiently, problems fixed fast. Your time matters.
What We Actually Do
Security Audits
Got a website already? We'll check it for weaknesses. Most sites we see have at least one security issue that could cost you big time. We find them before someone else does. A few hundred pounds for peace of mind or thousands in fines and lost trust. Your call.
Secure Website Development
We build websites from scratch that are actually secure. No shortcuts, no bodge jobs. Modern tools, proper code, and security baked in from the start. Mobile friendly, fast loading, and GDPR compliant without you having to think about it.
Fixes and Maintenance
Website playing up? Security patches needed? We sort it. Quick fixes, ongoing support, and regular check ups to make sure everything stays running smoothly. No long term contracts, just help when you need it.
The Real Cost of Getting It Wrong
UK Businesses Get Hit Hard
In 2023, 50% of UK businesses reported a cyber security breach. That is one in two. The average cost per breach sits around £4,200 for small businesses, but that number goes up fast depending on what data gets leaked. Customer details, payment information, personal data. Once it is out there, the damage is done.
GDPR Fines Are Not a Joke
If your website gets breached and you lose customer data, GDPR fines can reach up to £17.5 million or 4% of your annual turnover, whichever is higher. Most small businesses never see that kind of fine, but even a smaller penalty can cripple you. More importantly, once your reputation takes a hit, customers do not come back. That is the real cost.
The Problem with AI Websites
AI tools can knock out a website in minutes. Looks decent, maybe even professional. But here is the catch. AI does not understand security. It copies patterns, reuses code, and often leaves vulnerabilities wide open. SQL injection risks, weak authentication, exposed databases. Most AI built sites we audit have at least three major security flaws. Would you trust a website built by someone who does not know what they are doing? Same principle.
Why Paying a Bit Now Saves a Lot Later
Think of it this way. A proper security audit costs a few hundred quid. A GDPR fine can cost thousands. Lost customers? Even more. A ruined reputation? Priceless, and not in a good way. We see businesses every week who thought they saved money by going cheap, only to pay ten times more fixing the mess later. Do not be that business. Give us a ring or meet up for a brew and we will talk you through exactly what you need. No hidden agenda, just someone local who knows what they are doing.
How We Use AI Properly
Look, AI is brilliant. It speeds things up, handles repetitive tasks, and makes our work more efficient. We use it. But here is the thing. AI is a tool, not a solution. Think about someone using AI to pass an exam without learning the fundamentals. Sure, they might scrape a pass, but ask them to solve a real problem and they are stuck. Same goes for websites. You can use AI to spit out code, but if you do not understand what it is doing, you are building on shaky ground. We use AI to work faster, but we check everything. We understand the code. We know what is secure and what is not. That is the difference.
