Background

Why Pacavita exists

The options were bad.
So I made a better one.

I studied mathematics because I found it interesting. Moved into software and then security — cryptographic implementations, vulnerability research, the kind of work where you look at how systems break before deciding how to build them. That turned out to be a useful way to think about everything, including websites.

I live in Saltaire. The businesses around me — cafés, barbers, dog walkers, trades — were stuck between two bad options. An agency in Leeds that charges thousands for a template and sends a monthly PDF nobody reads. Or a DIY builder that produces something that looks like 2009 and has zero security headers, no SEO, and a contact form that silently breaks.

Pacavita is the third option. One person who does the whole thing — website, Google profile, SEO, bookings, payments, photos, social content — for a fixed price, with the security background to make sure it actually works and doesn’t get hacked. No retainers, no project managers, no slide decks.

What you get working with me

The short version

One person, start to finish

Same person scopes it, builds it, launches it, and picks up when you WhatsApp at 9pm because the contact form looks weird on your phone. No handoffs. No ticket systems.

Security is the default

Every site ships with HSTS, Content Security Policy, six security headers, daily backups and PCI-safe payments. Not because you asked — because the person building it is a security engineer.

Fixed prices, written down

Websites from £349. Photography from £150. Booking integration from £100. You see the number before anything starts. No scope creep, no surprise invoices, no retainers.

You own everything

Your domain, your Stripe account, your Google profile, your photo files, your code. Nothing is locked to Pacavita. If you leave, you take the lot — I’ll help you migrate.

Local knowledge, not a pitch deck

I walk past the shops I build for. I know which streets get Saturday foot traffic, which events drive demand, which postcodes Google uses for the local pack. A Manchester agency can’t fake that.

Fast, because the work is the work

No discovery workshops. No brand strategy sessions. No stakeholder alignment calls. You fill in a brief, I build the thing. Most websites live within 48 hours.

The difference

Your web designer probably can’t explain what a Content Security Policy does.

Most web designers are visual people who learned code. I came at it from the other direction — mathematics, then security, then building things. That means when I set up your Stripe integration, I know what PCI SAQ-A scope means. When I configure your headers, I know what HSTS preload prevents. When I tell you not to use WordPress, I can explain exactly which attack surfaces it opens.

This isn’t a premium add-on or a “security package” you pay extra for. It is the baseline. Every single site I build ships with it because I don’t know how to build one without it.
