What we can help with
Pick a lane — or hand us the mess and we’ll sort it.
Website maintenance (JS/PHP)
Fixes, updates, incident response, security patching, speed work, and “keep it running” support for modern websites.
Drupal upgrades & migrations
Drupal 7→11, 8/9→10/11, content modelling, Views, theming, and custom module rebuilds.
Linux servers, hosting & backups
Nginx/PHP-FPM, DB setup, TLS, hardening, backups, monitoring, caching (Redis/Varnish), and deployment pipelines.
Custom applications
Build internal tools, admin dashboards, member portals, and lightweight apps that make the business run smoother.
Integrations
Connect your site to external systems: CRMs, payment gateways, booking systems, inventory, reporting, and bespoke APIs.
Rescue jobs
When something’s broken, slow, hacked, or half-finished — we diagnose, stabilise, and put a plan in place.
Why Float Solutions?
Practical, end-to-end, and built for real-world websites.
AI-assisted delivery (with senior oversight)
We leverage AI to accelerate analysis, planning, and implementation — then we apply 25 years of web development experience to validate the result, catch edge cases, and keep changes safe in production.
What that means for you
- More work per hour: less admin, less “figuring it out from scratch”.
- Less BS: clear priorities, clear proof, clear next steps.
- Better documentation: decisions and changes written down as we go.
- Lower cost: speed + experience reduces rework and surprises.
We handle the whole stack
Not just code — we can look after the server side too: Nginx/PHP-FPM, databases, caching layers, backups, and monitoring. That means fewer handoffs and faster fixes.

Safety

We’re good at messy legacy sites
Older sites often have custom code, strange hosting, and “tribal knowledge”. We document what’s there, stabilise it, then improve it — without breaking the business.
- Clear priorities: what’s urgent vs what can wait.
- Measured outcomes: speed, stability, security, and parity checks.
- Small releases: safer changes instead of giant risky deploys.
- Migration proof: counts match (nodes/users/files/aliases) when upgrading platforms.
Stacks we commonly support
If your stack isn’t listed, still ask — we’ll tell you straight if it’s a good fit.
How we work
Clear communication, measurable outcomes.
1) Triage
We identify what’s actually broken / risky, and what can wait. You get a short plan with priorities.
2) Fix + improve
We ship safe changes: backups, staging where needed, and small releases instead of giant risky pushes.
3) Keep it healthy
Ongoing patching, monitoring, and performance. Less firefighting, more predictable operations.
