Geekery as a Service

Helping people overwhelmed by data and tasks achieve more income/productivity by turning their processes and ideas into software solutions.

Chief Geek of Software Solutions in WordPress, Laravel and PHP

InnovaTech Media Ltd

The growing success of our operations at BetterWebSpace led us to incorporate the business as a part of InnovaTech Media Ltd in December 2009. 

BetterWebSpace continues to operate high quality hosting services at honest prices.

Having watched our automation work grow over 2009 we now spend much of our time working on PHP API integrations and backend development alongside our traditional hosting work.

BetterWebSpace

Having grown BetterWebSpace from it's early days of being a sole-trader with one or two customers (mostly friends!) where I knew everyone on a first name basis I now run BetterWebSpace as part of InnovaTech Media Ltd.

BetterWebSpace was setup in 2002 when I had already been a customer of a variety of web hosting companies over the years and found them to offer little in the way of support or value for money.

In recent years we have found ourselves spending more time working more closely with our customers to produce highly customised automation solutions in PHP as well as providing them with great support for their websites.

BetterWebSpace specialises in honest hosting at an honest price!

Are you a business owner tired of software working against you? 

Could having your own software provide you with time/money saving efficiencies or even that mythical unicorn of recurring income? 🦄

Do you feel like you are asking your clients or employees to do the same thing time and time again and the errors creep in, often between the chair and the keyboard? 🤬

Would you like someone to take that painful system make it more efficient and put it on autopilot? Allowing YOU to spend more time with your family and doing the things you love?

Would you like to turn that little idea you have in your field of expertise into a system you could earn a recurring income from?

If so, I can help make that happen!

I have been a geek from an early age, quickly becoming bored of games I began learning BASIC on my ZX Spectrum with my first “Hello World” and the noisy tape deck. It was magic to see something you created appear on the screen - that buzz never left me and the wow moment with a client is still what drives me to this day.

I have a background in Engineering, both at University and then spending 9 years at Motorola, during which time I set up BetterWebSpace allowing me to show that the hosting industry can be honest and fair. BetterWebSpace still serves its clients, but I spend more of my time doing Geekery as a Service - helping people turn their ideas into reality.

A cancer diagnosis in 2005 taught me a lot about life and productivity, why waste your time fighting with data and processes when much of it can be automated? 

Why sit on that idea that could mean you get more time with your family? Life is often too short, I'm fortunate enough to be a long way clear now (and fitter and healthier than I was back then) and I certainly don't want to waste my time - why would you?

More time, more sales, less stress, recurring income, a better balance…. 

Sounds perfect? DM me today!

Simplifying your client onboarding, delivery & after care to free up your headspace | Processes, software & automation solutions to streamline how you work with your 1 to 1 clients

You’re an expert service provider, but working with your 1 to 1 clients feels overwhelming. 

You've got cobbled-together systems and you always wonder if you're about to drop the ball on someone.

You have too many pieces of the puzzle in too many different places, and it feels like your head (or inbox) might explode trying to hold it all together.

I can help if you:

• have a scattergun approach to onboarding or working with your clients

• feel muddled because all your client information lives in your inbox, Google Docs, or even in your head

• avoid promoting your services because interest from potential clients leaves you confused or overwhelmed about how to respond to them

• know there are tasks you could automate or delegate – you’re just not sure which is best or where to start

• know you're either going to start forgetting things, or you're going to end up extremely stressed by everything you're trying to remember

• chose a CRM (customer relationship management) system but know you're not making the most of it. Or maybe you’ve abandoned it.

Client management is taking up more of your headspace than it should. You know there must be a better way that would be easier - and more efficient - for you and your clients.

I’m here to help you create an effective 1 to 1 client management journey in your business. 

By combining clear processes with the right tech and outsourcing options for you, you will go from cobbled-together and struggling to handle all the balls... to working calmly and efficiently with all your clients!

--------

Now there's one more thing you should know:

You'll never hear me evangelising about any particular apps because I firmly believe there's no such thing as one-size-fits-all when it comes to software. 

Every business owner is different and we all have different clients, which is why I first work with you to get your client management processes right, before tailoring any software recommendations for your needs and helping you to understand how it can work for you.

If you'd like to free up your headspace with improved client management processes and systems, send me a DM to chat about how I can help you get there.
