# DawsonyWeb

> DawsonyWeb is a specialist Laravel development studio based in Yorkshire, UK, providing ongoing retainer support for businesses with complex operational systems.

## About

DawsonyWeb is run by Adam Dawson, a Laravel developer with over 10 years of experience and four years embedded as the sole developer on a complex distribution and cultivation operations platform. The studio specialises in building, maintaining, and improving Laravel applications that handle real business operations -- work orders, inventory, purchasing, sales pipelines, and API integrations with accounting and compliance platforms.

DawsonyWeb works best with businesses that already have a Laravel system and need a reliable long-term technical partner rather than a one-off contractor.

## Core Services

- Laravel Systems and Ongoing Support: Long-term retainer development for businesses that depend on a Laravel application for daily operations. Includes feature development, bug fixing, performance work, and technical ownership of live systems.
- API Integrations: Third-party integrations built for reliability. Accounting software (Sage, Xero, QuickBooks), compliance platforms (METRC, LeafLink, Dutchie, BioTrack), payment gateways (Stripe, GoCardless), logistics and fulfilment platforms (Mintsoft, ShipStation, Linnworks, Royal Mail Click and Drop), and CRM and communication tools (HubSpot, Mailchimp, SendGrid, Twilio).
- Inherited Codebase Takeover: Stepping into a live Laravel system without documentation, understanding it methodically, and improving it safely over time.
- WooCommerce Custom Development: Custom plugin architecture, bespoke order and pricing logic, and ongoing support for WooCommerce stores with complex operational requirements.
- WordPress Custom Development: Custom themes, plugins, and CMS builds for agencies and businesses.
- Performance and Core Web Vitals: Speed audits, Core Web Vitals fixes, and measurable improvements for WordPress and Laravel applications.
- Google Analytics 4 Setup: Proper GA4 configuration including conversion tracking, event setup, and reliable reporting.
- Google Tag Manager: Marketing pixel management, conversion events, and third-party script management.
- WordPress Care Plans: Affordable monthly care plans for small businesses. WordPress sites from £99 per month, WooCommerce stores from £149 per month. Covers plugin and theme updates (tested before applying), daily offsite backups, uptime monitoring, security scanning, a monthly health report, and one hour of small changes or fixes each month. Additional development available at £75 per hour. No lock-in contracts.
- Website Maintenance Retainers: Higher-tier monthly retainer plans for active business sites. Essential (£295/month), Professional (£595/month), Business (£995/month), Enterprise (£1,995/month). Includes all care plan features plus dedicated development hours, priority response, staging environments, performance reviews, and out-of-hours support.
