Founder, Custom Launch
I build websites that look after themselves.
I'm Aadarsh (most people call me Addy). I design, build, host and secure websites and portals for growing UK businesses, and I keep looking after them once they're live.
About
I run Custom Launch, a UK web company that handles everything from the first design to the hosting and security behind it. Most agencies hand over a site and move on. I wanted clients to be able to see exactly how their site is doing, so I built our own client portal to show them.
I spend most of my time between design and the server: making pages fast and clear, then keeping them patched, backed up and monitored. I like it when things are simple to use and done properly underneath.
Things I've built
Custom Launch client portal
One place for clients to see their sites, tickets, invoices, contracts, SEO and monthly reports. They can also send files and passwords securely.
Sky Watch
Watches every site we host, flags attacks and weak spots, checks that fixes really worked, and sends a short brief every morning.
School portals
White-label portals that students and staff use every day for homework, live classes, marking and messages, with two-step sign-in and app notifications.
Secure Send
A safe way for clients to hand over passwords and documents, which can be erased once they've been collected.
How I work
- Security first. Custom Launch is Cyber Essentials certified and registered with the ICO.
- One person who cares. The person who designs your site also hosts it and answers your tickets.
- Backed up properly. Encrypted, off-site backups that I actually test.
- No jargon. Plain answers, and you can see every step in the portal.
