Move to the cloud with confidence. Stay there without worry.

Moving your website or application to the cloud can feel like a big step. You need it done properly, with zero data loss and minimal downtime, by a team that has done it before. That is exactly what we do.

We plan, build and manage cloud infrastructure for public sector and enterprise organisations across the UK. Whether you are migrating an existing website, setting up hosting from scratch, or looking for a team to keep everything running smoothly, we handle the full picture.

Since 2020, we have migrated and hosted over 40 websites for organisations across central government, local authorities, regulatory bodies, the NHS, international development agencies and the private sector. Collectively, our hosted sites handle over five million visits every month.

Every one of those migrations was completed on time. None of them resulted in data loss or unplanned downtime.

What we mean by cloud migration

Cloud migration is the process of moving your website, application or data from one hosting environment to another. This might mean moving from an on-premise server to the cloud, switching from one cloud provider to another, or upgrading your infrastructure to something more modern and secure.

We typically work with organisations that need to move a CMS website (WordPress, Drupal or similar), consolidate multiple sites into a single platform, or replace ageing infrastructure that no longer meets security and performance standards.

Our migration process covers everything from the initial content audit through to DNS cutover and legacy system shutdown. We do not leave gaps. You get a fully working system at the end, with all content verified, all redirects in place and all integrations tested.

How we approach a migration

We follow a structured, phased process. Each step has a named person responsible and clear deliverables.

Phase 1: Audit and planning. We crawl your existing site to build a complete content inventory. Every page, media file and database record is documented with its URL mapping, content type, owner and migration status (migrate, archive or delete). We provide a decision matrix so you can evaluate what transfers and what does not.

Phase 2: Infrastructure setup. We build your new cloud hosting environment on Microsoft Azure, hosted in the UK (London primary, Cardiff failover). This includes configuring auto-scaling, load balancing, firewalls, encryption and monitoring before any content moves across.

Phase 3: Content migration. We map content to the new platform structure, import all assets and configure 301 redirects from old URLs to new locations. This protects your search engine rankings and ensures visitors always land in the right place.

Phase 4: Testing and verification. We run automated and manual tests across every migrated page, form, integration and media file. Your team verifies content accuracy through structured review sessions. Our triple-verification process cross-references automated crawls, sitemaps and content owner sign-off.

Phase 5: Go-live and cutover. We update DNS records during a low-traffic window (typically early hours on a Sunday), configure SSL certificates for HTTPS encryption, and monitor propagation until the transition is complete. Full rollback is supported at every stage.

Phase 6: Decommission and documentation. We safely back up, archive and shut down your old system. Detailed records of the entire migration are handed over so your team has everything they need going forward.

Migration standards we commit to

Our DevOps capability

DevOps is the practice of automating and streamlining how software is built, tested and deployed. Done well, it means faster updates, fewer errors and more reliable systems. Done badly, or not at all, it means manual processes, slow releases and fragile infrastructure.

Our DevOps team builds and maintains the pipelines, environments and monitoring tools that keep your systems running. We practise test-driven development, writing automated tests for every function before the production code. All code changes go through peer review and automated quality gates before they reach your live environment.

Here is what that looks like in practice:

• Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD). Every code change triggers an automated pipeline that runs the full test suite, performs security scanning, checks code quality and enforces a minimum 90% code coverage gate. Code that fails any check does not get deployed.
• Multiple isolated environments. We maintain separate environments for development, testing, user acceptance testing, staging and production. Code is promoted through each stage with automated gates, so issues are caught long before they reach your users.
• Infrastructure as Code. We define all cloud resources using code (YAML configuration files and Terraform). This means infrastructure can be deployed, replicated and rebuilt quickly and consistently, removing the risk of human error.
• Containerisation. We deploy applications as independent containerised services using Docker and Kubernetes. This allows each component to be scaled, updated or restarted separately without affecting the rest of the system.
• Monitoring and alerting. We use tools like Azure Monitor, Application Insights, Prometheus and Grafana to track performance across every layer of your infrastructure. Metrics are collected every minute, with automated alerts so we can spot and fix issues before they affect your users.

The results speak for themselves. Across our client base, automated deployment has reduced deployment time by 70% and improved deployment reliability by 85%. System administration overhead has been reduced by 60%.

Cloud hosting that comes included

When you work with us, hosting is not an afterthought. It is a fully managed service built into everything we deliver.

Your infrastructure runs on Microsoft Azure, hosted in UK data centres (London primary, Cardiff disaster recovery). We handle all server setup, security, scaling, backups, patching and monitoring. You have no infrastructure responsibilities.

Key hosting features:

• Auto-scaling. Resources scale up automatically during traffic spikes and scale down when demand drops, so you only pay for what you use.
• Geo-redundant backups. Hourly backups replicated across UK regions, retained for 30 days. Weekly backups retained for one year. Recovery time objective of 15 minutes.
• 99.99% uptime. Maintained across all customers over four years, validated by independent load testing.
• Encryption everywhere. AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit.
• DDoS protection. Web Application Firewall with bot management and rate limiting at the network edge.
• Real-time threat detection. Automated security monitoring and incident response across all environments.

Security and compliance

We hold the certifications that matter for public sector and regulated organisations:

• ISO 27001:2022 for information security management
• Cyber Essentials Plus for infrastructure security
• CREST penetration testing certification
• NCSC Cloud Security Principles compliant
• CIS Benchmark v2.0 compliant cloud infrastructure
• ICO registered with no enforcement actions
• GDPR (UK) and Data Protection Act 2018 compliant

We maintain continuous compliance monitoring across all infrastructure and provide certificates throughout the life of your contract.

Support when things need attention

We do not disappear after go-live. Our support operates across three tiers:

All support requests are tracked in our project management portal, with full visibility for your team.
