SKiPSWEB SINCE 2001

Services

Web hosting, websites
and the work around them.

I host websites, design and build them, set up the email that goes with them, and write the custom code when a business needs more. One person does all of it, and that person is me.

01 — Web hosting

Hosting run by
the person who built it.

Your site runs on servers I manage myself, with cPanel if you want to look around. When something needs doing, you tell me, and I do it. There's no support queue and no ticket number.

I won't print an uptime percentage or sell you anything "unlimited". Storage, backups and support terms go in your written quote. Escort and adult sites are welcome too, and they have their own section.

  • Security certificate renewed before it expires.
  • Backups kept on separate hardware, and tested.
  • Updates to PHP and the server, before support runs out.
  • Monitoring: if the site goes down, I get the alert.
  • Moving in: I move your site, database and email from your old host.
  • Your domain stays registered in your name, yours to move.

02 — Websites

Website design
and builds.

A new site, a redesign, or a fix for the one you have. I design it, write it, put it online and look after it afterwards.

Designed from a blank page

Around your business, your customers and what you want them to do next. No bought theme with your logo dropped in.

WordPress or custom code

WordPress when you'll keep adding pages yourself, custom code when the site has to be very fast or do something unusual.

Built for phones first

Most visitors arrive on a phone, so I design that layout first and test it on real devices.

Easy to update

Change your own words, photos, prices and opening hours, or send them to me and I'll do it.

Forms that reach you

Contact and booking forms that filter spam and arrive in your inbox, with nothing lost on the way.

Redesigns and rescues

An old site you're embarrassed by, or one you've lost access to. Ask me before you start again from scratch.

Want to see what that looks like? My work.


03 — Domains & email

Email on your own name,
set up properly.

An address at your own domain looks better on an invoice than a free webmail one. Getting it to arrive reliably takes a few records most people never hear about, and I set those up for you.

  • Mailboxes on your domain, on your phone and computer.
  • SPF, DKIM and DMARC records, so other servers trust your mail.
  • DNS set up and kept tidy when you add a service.
  • Your domain registered in your name, with privacy protection.

04 — Search & speed

SEO without
the empty promises.

Nobody can guarantee you a ranking, and anyone who promises page one is misleading you. What I can promise is the work, and that's what moves results.

That means a site that loads fast on a phone, pages that say clearly what you do and where, and nothing that stops search engines reading it.

  • Technical basics first: speed, sitemap, clean addresses, nothing blocked by mistake.
  • Core Web Vitals: the speed scores Google measures, checked and fixed.
  • Titles and descriptions written by hand, so people want to click.
  • Honest structured data: never made-up review stars.

05 — Custom development

When your website
needs to do a job.

If you're retyping the same details into three places, a small tool written for the way you work beats another pile of plugins.

Business apps and databases

Booking systems, customer records, stock lists, internal tools: software shaped around how your business already works.

Automation and integrations

Connect your site to the services you already pay for, and stop copying the same details between them by hand.

Keeping old code running

Something written years ago that the business still depends on. I can update it, move it to a supported PHP version, or replace it in stages.

It runs on your own hosting and stores only what you decide. Once it's paid for, the code is yours, documented so another developer could take it over.


06 — Servers & care

Your own server,
looked after.

Have a server or VPS of your own? I set up and manage Linux servers with cPanel and WHM, keep them patched, and tighten them up so they're harder to break into.

If you'd rather not think about any of it, I can look after your site month to month: updates, fixes and small changes, all through one person who already knows how it's built.

  • Server setup: Linux, cPanel and WHM, configured for your sites.
  • Security: updates, firewalls and hardening.
  • Performance: PHP, database and caching tuned to the load.
  • Ongoing care: updates and changes after launch.

Also

Escort and adult websites
have their own section.

I've designed and hosted websites for independent escorts, companions and adult businesses since 2001, on hosting where everyone knows what these sites are from the start.

Escort website design and hosting

You pay nothing up front

  1. Scope and price in writing

    Before anything starts.

  2. You see it working

    On a private link, with your content.

  3. You pay when you approve it

    Payment methods and dates are on the invoice.

  4. Hosting is billed from launch

    Not before.

Start your project

Tell me what you need.

A couple of sentences is enough. I'll tell you what it would take, and if something smaller will do the job, I'll say so.

You'll be talking to me.

I reply to every message myself, and I'm the one who builds and looks after your site. There's no account manager or reseller in between. I've been building and hosting websites since 2001.
