About Aaron Allport

Technically a Software Engineer (well, that's what the university degree says), but having a passion for web development, I've been involved with computers for almost 20 years. Since getting serious about what makes computers work in college, I learnt lots of programming languages, from writing one's and zero's up to Java. Since leaving college and subsequently going to university, I've been involved with web technologies, including the production of web sites and web-based applications.

Size doesn't matter

Contrary to popular belief, size doesn't matter. We're a small but perfectly formed web development agency based in Colchester, England. We intend on staying small, because that allows us to deliver a personal service to each and every client. You'll never hear of an analyst or 'technical account manager' when working with us. We like to keep it simple and small to ensure that we can be personally involved in each and every project we undertake.

Keeping it simple

We are fully flexible when working with you to identify your needs, but we like to think that once a project has been delivered, it shouldn't be up to the client to get it made available for everyone to see. That's why as part of every project we do, the following is included as standard:

  • Free domain name registration for one year ('.co.uk' only. Other domain names are also available)
  • Free web hosting for one year
  • Free e-mail for one year
  • Free site setup
  • Free analytics setup
  • Free search engine submission to Google and Bing
  • Free e-mail support during business hours for one year

Contact Us

If you would like to work with us, then you can get in touch by emailing us at aaron@aaronallport.com with some details of your project (noting the points below). We also have a client worksheet. Fill it out, send it back to us, and we'll respond with an outline proposal within a week.

Our availability

We are available to take on projects from May 2012 onwards. If that works for you, then work with us!

We do not perform or encourage the production of speculative work. We have bills to pay just like everyone else.

Budget

Please include an outline of your budget, as this will determine both how much time we can dedicate to your project, as well as advise you on how it is best used.

We are straight-talking and will set realistic expectations with you on what you can get for your money.

The rest

We are here to make the process of creating/updating your web presence as easy as possible, but we do have a code of ethics and some general business practices we abide by:

  • We treat all client data with the strictest confidence, and are happy to sign an NDA should you wish us to.
  • We will not undertake work for any organisation or person involved with racisim or extremism.
  • We encourage charities to come forward as we are happy to set aside a few days of pro-bono work each month to work with you.
