You wouldn't buy a plastic drill to build a house.
So why build your business on a £500 template?
Most web designers sell you a "digital brochure." It looks okay, but it sits on a slow, insecure server, waiting for customers to find it.
We don't build brochures. We build Revenue Systems.
Our custom-coded platforms are engineered to rank higher on Google, capture leads automatically, and filter out the time-wasters before they even call you.
The Difference Between "Expense" and "Investment"
| Feature | WP Template | Custom Build |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Slow. Bloated with plugins. | Instant. Scores 99/100. Google loves this. |
| Security | Vulnerable. #1 target for hackers. | Fortress. Enterprise-grade security. |
| Leads | No Filter. "How much?" texts at 9pm. | Pre-Qualified. Filters by budget. |
| Maintenance | Constant Noise. Weekly plugin emails. Panic over updates. | Silent & Managed. We patch vulnerabilities instantly. You sleep soundly. |
Engineered for Unfair Speed.
We use the same technology stack as Netflix and Uber. Why? Because Speed = Trust.
- 0.5 Second Load Times: If your site takes 3 seconds to load on 4G, 50% of customers leave. Our sites load instantly.
- ✓ Works Offline: Your portfolio loads even if the client has bad signal in a basement.
- ✓ No "Maintenance Mode": Unlike WordPress, your site never goes down for updates. It is always open for business.

No fluff. Just business owners getting their time back.
"This is genius! I was spending my entire day on a Sunday trying to decipher my handwriting from the back of envelopes, now my website is an app on my phone, a few taps and I'm done."
"Nicola has a keen eye for detail. I fully believe she can do her job with her eyes closed. The processes she implemented are far more efficient than what we had previously. The time I’m saving every day is incredible."
"It's been a bit of a shock to not be bombarded with questions everyday. My website answers them all, now the only people I need to speak to are genuine customers ready to get their job done."
"Nicola understood my business process very quickly, I was worried about change but the system I have now is so much easier and quicker."
One Good Job Pays for the
Whole System.
A £5,000 website feels expensive until it lands you a £50,000 commercial contract because you looked like the safest choice.
Stop competing on price with the "man in a van." Start looking like
the market leader.

The "No-Outsource"

I don't use templates. I don't farm work out to cheap offshore teams. I don't cut corners.
When you hire Empower Digital Solutions, you are hiring me. I personally architect every database, write every line of code, and configure every server.
This ensures that the person you speak to on the phone is the same person building your business’s future.
Nicola
Founder & Lead Developer
"I started building websites when I became a Virtual Assistant. Like everyone else, I started with WordPress. I quickly hated it."
"I felt boxed in. Customising it kept me up all night. Plugins for SEO, security, themes, it was a bloated mess. I was paying subscriptions for Monday.com, ClickUp, Asana... just to do my job."
"So I learned to code. Real code. I built my own internal tools to replace those costs. Now, I run my entire business on custom platforms I built myself. I found my perfect solution and I can build yours too."
Straight Talk.
CEO to CEO.
You build homes and systems. We build the engine that runs them.
I'm good with my hands, not computers. Is this too complex?
That's exactly why you need this. Complex systems are for engineers; simple dashboards are for owners.
We strip away the noise. You get a clean panel that shows you: Leads In, Quotes Sent, Invoices Paid. If you can use a smartphone, you can use our systems. You maintain total control without needing to understand the code.
Do I really need a "Client Portal"? I'm just a trade.
Let me ask you this: How much is your evening worth?
You could hire an admin assistant for £25k/year to chase emails and book appointments. Or you can have a built-in Portal that costs a fraction of that and works 24/7.
It allows customers to book quotes, view invoices, and approve jobs while you are at the pub or spending time with your family. It's not about "tech": it's about buying back your time.
My mate has a Wix site. Why is this better?
Wix and Squarespace are "rentals". They are bloated, slow, and Google struggles to read them.
We build Custom Assets. Our code is lean and fast, which Google loves. This means you rank higher for "Plumber in [Your City]" without paying for ads. It's the difference between buying a plastic drill and a Hilti. One breaks, the other builds a business.
Who owns the website?
You do. Unlike agencies that lock you into proprietary "rented" platforms, once you pay the final balance, you own the code. If you ever decide to leave us, we will package up your code and hand it over. No hostages.
Why do I see the site on a "Staging Link" first?
We build on a secure testing server first. This protects both of us. It allows you to test every button and feature without the public seeing a "Under Construction" sign. We only flip the switch to your live domain once the final balance is settled.
What does the £99/mo cover if I own the site?
High-performance cars need premium fuel and servicing. Your monthly fee covers the AWS/Vercel Enterprise Hosting. It also pays for us to monitor vulnerabilities and apply critical security patches (like React updates) instantly. With WordPress, you'd be drowning in plugin update emails. With us, it's silence. You get 1 hour of my time every month to make any changes you want. You'll never see a line of code.
What if something breaks?
With our Mission Control Access (included in every package), we know about it before you do.
We monitor your site 24/7. We handle the updates, the security patches, and the server management. You don't need to be IT support. You just focus on the job site, we handle digital site.
