The problem

Most small business websites fail for the same three reasons

01

Nobody answers when it breaks

Template builders and offshore agencies leave you emailing a ticket queue and waiting. You never speak to the person who actually built it.

02

It never gets finished

DIY site builders start strong and stall the moment you need real photos, real copy, and a working contact form.

03

It looks like everyone else's

Free themes ship with the same stock padlock icons and layouts your customers have already seen a hundred times this week.

We build it, launch it, and keep it running — for one flat price and one direct phone number.
How a project runs

Every build follows the river — source to sea

The Itchen runs from a chalk spring near Cheriton, through Winchester and Twyford, out to Southampton Water. Your project follows the same shape: a clear start, a steady middle, and a real finish.

Cheriton — the source

Discovery call

Thirty minutes on what the site needs to do, who it's for, and what "done" looks like. You get a fixed scope and a fixed price in writing before anything is built.

Winchester — design

A homepage in your words, not lorem ipsum

We design the homepage using your actual content, your colours, and your voice. You see it and approve it before we build the rest.

Twyford — build

Built, tested, proofed

The full site gets built, tested on real phones and browsers, and checked line by line for broken links, typos, and forms that don't send.

Southampton Water — launch

Live on your domain

Your site goes live, secured, and backed up nightly, with a plain-English handover guide so you're never locked out of your own business.

The tide — ongoing

The same person picks up the phone

Hosting includes backups, security updates, and small changes. Nothing gets handed off to someone new six months in.

Pricing

Three ways to get online, one flat fee each

No hidden retainers. Hosting and support renew monthly — cancel any time and the site is still yours to take elsewhere.

About

Built by one engineer, not outsourced to one you'll never meet

Itchen IT is run by Alan, based in Twyford. Every site is designed, built, hosted, and supported by the same person you speak to on the phone — no account managers relaying messages to a developer overseas.

Alan also builds Sentrixa Systems, a Hampshire cybersecurity platform for UK SMEs — so every website is built by someone who thinks about security and uptime as a matter of habit, not an afterthought.

Behind the build

Qualifications that actually matter for a website that has to stay up

Networking, infrastructure, and security background — not just a design portfolio.

Questions

Before you ask

Do I own the website?

Yes. The design and code are yours outright once paid in full, and any domain is registered in your name, not ours.

What if I want to leave later?

We hand over full access — files, domain, and hosting logins. No lock-in, no ransom for your own site.

How long does a build take?

Launch sites are typically live in 2–3 weeks, Grow in 4–6 weeks, and Scale in 6–10 weeks, depending on how quickly we get your content and photos.

What does the monthly hosting fee actually cover?

Backups, security updates, uptime monitoring, and small text or image changes. Bigger changes are quoted separately, always up front.

Do you work with charities and community groups?

Yes — several current clients are Scout groups and Hampshire charities, and we offer a reduced local rate for community organisations.
