Morrison Made

Independent technical consultancy

Clear direction before the next big decision.

Practical, independent advice for businesses and agencies dealing with complex Laravel, PHP or WordPress systems. Useful when the problem is not simply writing more code, but deciding what should happen next.

When it helps

When you need clarity, not another sales pitch.

01

The system has become difficult to change

Understand where the real risk sits, what is creating drag and which improvements will make a meaningful difference.

02

A rebuild or rescue is being considered

Test the assumptions before committing budget, replacing a platform or beginning another long development project.

03

You need an independent second opinion

Get a technically informed view that is not tied to selling a particular platform, team or implementation.

Defined consultancy services

Choose the level of clarity you need.

Each engagement has a clear purpose and output. The guide prices below provide a sensible starting point; the scope and final fee are confirmed before any work begins.

01£150–£250

Technical discovery session

A focused call to understand the system, the immediate problem and the realistic options available. Best when you need experienced direction before deciding whether a larger review or project is necessary.

02From £750

Application health check

A practical review of the architecture, codebase, dependencies, security risks and maintainability. You receive a written summary of the main findings, priorities and recommended next steps.

03From £1,500

Project scoping and technical planning

Turn an unclear idea into defined requirements, a recommended architecture, known risks and sensible development phases. Suitable preparation for internal delivery, supplier quotations or a formal specification.

04From £750

Independent technical review

An impartial assessment of a proposal, quotation, rebuild plan or supplier recommendation before you commit. The review highlights assumptions, omissions, technical risk and questions worth resolving.

05Priced monthly

Ongoing technical adviser

Periodic technical support for a business or agency without an experienced technical lead internally. This can include reviewing decisions, challenging supplier recommendations, planning future work and helping keep delivery on track.

A straightforward engagement

01 / Context

Define the decision

A focused conversation establishes what is changing, what is uncertain and what a useful outcome needs to look like.

02 / Review

Examine the evidence

That may involve code, architecture, documentation, proposals, workflows or conversations with the people closest to the system.

03 / Direction

Make the next steps clear

You receive clear findings, priorities, trade-offs and recommended next actions that can be used internally or with another supplier.

What you leave with

Advice you can actually use.

Depending on the engagement, the output may include a written technical assessment, prioritised risks, an options comparison, a modernisation roadmap or a delivery plan.

Recommendations are explained in business as well as technical terms, including the likely trade-offs. There is no obligation to commission the resulting development work from Morrison Made.

The scope, expected output and fee are agreed in advance, so you know exactly what the engagement is intended to answer.
