Services
Web design, websites and business software services
Crawford Software Works helps small businesses choose the right route for their website or system: a clean custom website, a WordPress build where WordPress is genuinely useful, or a larger bespoke system when admin tools, portals, databases or automation are needed.
The focus is practical: clear pages, sensible structure, fast loading, reliable enquiry routes and support after launch.
Start with the business need, not the platform
Most projects start with the same question: what does the business actually need the website or system to do?
For some clients that means a clean brochure website. For others it means WordPress, hosting and maintenance. For larger jobs it may mean a custom CMS, customer portal, database, dashboard or workflow tool behind the public site.
Crawford Software Works is owner-led, so the advice is direct and practical rather than platform-first.

Ongoing care can cover hosting support, DNS/domain management, SSL, backups, monitoring, updates, minor content changes, performance checks, security checks and visibility checks.
