We recently worked with LukeTom on the development of our new website for S&A Heating Ltd, and we’ve been really pleased with the whole experience. From the initial discussions through to the finished website, the team were professional, helpful and easy to work with. They took the time to understand our business, listened to our ideas and were always happy to make changes and offer advice along the way. Communication throughout the project was excellent, and we’re really pleased with how the new website looks and represents our company. It feels modern, professional and much more in keeping with the image we wanted for S&A Heating. A big thank you to everyone at LukeTom for all their hard work. We would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a professional and reliable team to design and develop their website.

Fantastic service from start to finish. This is the second website I have worked on with LukeTom and on both occasions they have been incredible. They have given us ideas and then taken our suggestions on board to create a wonderful website that is so easy to use. Nothing has ever been too much trouble, and you always get an immediate reply to an email or phone call. Cannot recommend them highly enough, they really are leaders in their field and very competitively priced.

I’m a complete technophobe and didn’t understand the process of website creating and launching. Luke has been amazing, and I sincerely can’t thank him enough for his guidance and support. We had some challenges along the way of which Luke went above and beyond to resolve. Luke replied to my emails before i’d completed writing them!!! Super happy with my fantastic new site.

frequently asked questions

The answers to your questions.

What is web hosting?

Web hosting is the service that stores your website’s files and data on a server, then delivers them to visitors when they enter your domain name.

What is managed hosting?

Managed hosting means we look after important technical tasks such as backups, SSL, platform updates and plugin management, rather than leaving everything to you.

Where are your servers based?

Our hosting uses UK-based infrastructure, helping us provide a stable, trusted environment for the websites we manage.

What is the difference between shared hosting and a VPS?

Shared hosting divides server resources between several websites. A virtual private server provides more dedicated resources and control, making it better suited to busier or more demanding sites.

Are website backups included?

Yes. Our managed packages include daily website and database backups, giving an important recovery point if something goes wrong.

Is an SSL certificate included?

Yes. SSL encrypts information travelling between the visitor and the website, and it enables the secure padlock shown by modern browsers.

Can my hosting scale as the website grows?

Yes. We can review traffic, storage and server demand, then move the site to a more suitable level of resources when needed.

Can you host a website built elsewhere?

Potentially. We first review the platform, technical requirements and current setup to confirm whether it is a good fit for our managed environment.
