Your website and your email are talking to your customers right now. Do you know what they're saying?

We inspect your digital front door the way a stranger sees it — no passwords, no access to anything — and hand you back what we found in plain English.

What We Check

Four systems. Each one costs you money quietly when it's off.

Every finding is confirmed live, the day we run it. Nothing guessed, nothing pulled from a template.

01

Does your mail arrive?

Whether your emails land or quietly fall into spam — and whether a stranger can send mail pretending to be you.

Quotes and replies vanishing into a spam folder is a conversation you never knew you lost.

02

Are the doors locked?

Which doors on your site are standing open, and what's sitting behind them that shouldn't be reachable.

An open door hands a stranger half of what they'd need.

03

Is your visitor safe?

Whether the people who land on your site are protected the way customers now expect to be.

It's the difference between someone handing over their number and clicking away.

04

Can you be found — and kept?

Whether you show up when someone searches, and whether your site actually holds onto the people it gets.

Traffic you paid for, leaking out the bottom.

Each one comes back scored out of 100, so you can see at a glance where you stand.

The Proof

We ran it on our own front door this morning. It found things we'd have sworn were fine.

Not a client's site. Ours. Here's the honest list, and every one of them was live when we woke up:

Every wrong address answered "yes"

Type any nonsense onto the end of our web address and the site cheerfully returned a page instead of saying "that doesn't exist." Search engines read that as thousands of duplicate pages — and quietly stop trusting the site.

Old copies of the site were downloadable by anyone

Backups sitting in a public folder. Guess the filename, read an old version of the site. Nobody had ever checked.

Our mail had no instructions for impersonators

Two of the three protections were in place. The third — the one that tells the world what to do when someone forges your address, and reports it back to you — was missing entirely.

Anyone who filled in our form heard nothing back

The page promised a personal reply. The system notified us and sent the visitor nothing. We'd built that exact follow-up for a client months earlier and never for ourselves.

All four are fixed now — and you can check our work from where you're sitting. That's the point. If we'll publish our own failures, you can trust what we hand you about yours.

What You Get

One plain-English report. No wading.

📋

The report

The 60-second read up top — the headline, no digging. Then your four scores. Then every finding, confirmed live, in operator language.

And the fix list in priority order — quick wins first, the bigger moves named honestly.

🔓

It's yours

Fix it yourself. Hand it to whoever runs your site. Or let us handle it. No strings, and no obligation to us.

We'd rather show you what we see than tell you about it.

Why This One

Anyone can run you a scan. This is a craftsman's read.

01

Live, not guessed

Every finding confirmed the day we run it, and we show you exactly how we checked.

02

Outside the fence

No passwords change hands. We need nothing from you to give you your first look.

03

Plain English

If it matters, we say it in words that mean something to your business. No jargon on your desk.

04

A race shop, not a form letter

A person reads your systems. You get a considered opinion, not a printout.

Who It's For
Operators who run on their website and their email — and can't afford either one quietly failing.

Construction, trades and contractors. Dealers and lot-based sellers. Transport, service and local operators. Anyone whose next customer finds them online first.

It costs nothing.
We'd rather show you than tell you.

The Diagnostic

Let us read your ground.

Name, and where to reach you. We'll come back with what your front door is actually saying. Free, and yours to keep.

No passwords · Nothing to install · No obligation

Received.

We've got it — and it went straight to Chris, not a queue. He'll reach out personally. No pitch, just the first conversation.

We make you look good to the people who decide.
