Tech Consultancy Call

£120 · 1 hour · video call

I help with the technical stuff small businesses run into every day — websites, software, cloud storage, and the practical side of digital marketing — tracking, tools, and whether any of it is actually working. One focused call to get a straight answer and a clear next step.

People usually get in touch when they are trying to make better decisions, sense-check something before they commit more time or money, or get unstuck on something specific. It is a focused hour to talk through your situation and get clarity from someone who has spent ten years building for real businesses — client websites, internal tools, and the practical side of digital marketing. You do not need the right terminology; that is what the call is for.

How it works

  1. Apply — complete a short questionnaire so I understand what you need
  2. Review — I read every application personally (usually within one or two working days)
  3. Book — if we are a good fit, I will email you with next steps to arrange and pay for your call

Sometimes I will not be the right person to help — or the call will not be the right format. That is deliberate. I would rather be honest before you pay, not after.

What we can use the call for

  • Everyday tech — email, domains, files, software, security basics, the stuff that eats your week
  • Website advice — what is broken, what to fix first, whether a quote or rebuild is reasonable
  • Digital marketing support — tracking, analytics, tool choices, and campaigns explained without the fluff

Typical topics also include cloud storage chaos, sensible backups, practical AI where it saves time, and a second opinion before you hire an agency or sign a contract.

Sound familiar?

A few of the situations people usually apply about — you do not need to match one exactly.

  • Outgrown your website builder?

    You started on Wix, Squarespace, or GoDaddy and something is not working anymore. You want a straight second opinion on whether to rebuild, migrate, or stick with what you have.

  • Stuck in repetitive workflows?

    The same manual tasks every week — copy-pasting, reformatting, chasing information — and you suspect automation or AI could help, but you do not know where to start.

  • Business basics not sorted?

    Professional email, domain and DNS that make sense, client scheduling — the foundations that should be simple but somehow are not.

  • Data storage and backups

    Files scattered across laptops, drives, and cloud accounts, with no clear plan for what happens if something breaks or someone leaves.

  • Curious about AI, but cautious?

    You keep hearing you should be using AI tools, but you want to know what is actually safe, sensible, and worth the effort for a business like yours.

Who this is for

  • Small business owners or ops and marketing leads who handle tech by default
  • People who want direct answers, not a slide deck or a retainer pitch
  • Anyone who would rather say “I am not sure how this works” than pretend they do

What this is not

  • Ongoing IT support or unlimited access after the call
  • Hands-on build work during the session — the goal is clarity; implementation can be quoted separately if needed
  • Legal or compliance sign-off
  • A sales call — this is a paid consultancy session on its own terms

What happens after

Some people leave with a clear plan and handle it themselves. Sometimes we spot something bigger — a proper audit, a rebuild, or follow-up help — and I will tell you straight. There is never any obligation to go further; only honest recommendations.

Before you apply

  • Start with the short questionnaire — I will let you know if I think a call is the right next step
  • Sessions are £120 for one hour, paid upfront before we meet
  • Delivered by video call; meeting details sent once we have agreed to go ahead
  • If I do not think I can help, I will tell you honestly — no hard feelings

The questionnaire takes a few minutes. I will let you know either way — and if we are a good fit, I will email you with next steps.
