Database Design & Development

Data you can still trust in five years

Databases designed properly from the start — so the information stays accurate, the reports stay quick, and nobody has to guess what a column means.

What this covers

  • Database architecture and data modelling
  • Relational databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL)
  • Migrating data from spreadsheets or older systems
  • Query and performance tuning
  • Reporting and business intelligence
  • Access control and data security
  • Backup, restore and retention
  • Integration between separate systems

What you get out of it

It stays correct

Rules live in the database, so bad data cannot get in through a side door.

It stays quick

Designed and indexed for the questions you will actually ask of it.

It makes sense later

Named and documented so the next person can read it without a translator.

It is backed up

And the restore is tested, which is the part most people skip.

How we work

01Discovery & consultation

We learn the business, the problem and what success would look like.

02Planning & strategy

Scope, approach and a written plan you can agree before work starts.

03Design & development

Built in stages, with something to look at early rather than at the end.

04Testing & quality assurance

Checked on real devices and browsers, and fixed before it goes live.

05Launch & ongoing support

Deployed carefully, then looked after — we don’t disappear afterwards.

Frequently asked

Our business runs on spreadsheets. Is that a problem?

It is extremely common, and it works until two people need the same file at once. Moving to a database is usually the point where that starts costing you time.

Can you move our existing data across?

Yes. Migration is part of the job, and we check the result against the original rather than assuming it worked.

Who can see the data?

Whoever you decide. Access is set per role, and we will talk through your obligations under UK data protection law as part of the design.
