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.

Managing Director

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!

Software Engineer

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!
