LatestMedia Archive Search, over 1.2 million files searchable

The internal systems your team keeps asking for, built in weeks.

I work with owners of businesses up to 200 people. I am an IT and systems professional with twelve years running IT and operations. Fixed price, and your business owns everything I build.

  • 12 systems live
  • 12 years in IT and systems
  • 30 day warranty on bugs

An example of the archive search. A search for "crowd with hands in the air, red lighting" returns matching photos from all four storage locations. Sample photos. The real archive is private to staff.

The latest build

Find any photo or video in your archive by describing it.

I built this for a business with over a million photos and videos. Staff type what they remember and the right files come back, wherever they are stored. I can set up the same kind of search on your archive.

Where the files live, and the 1,265,235 photos, videos and graphics now searchable.

Want this for your own archive?

If you are a venue, agency, brand or charity with years of photos and video, I can build the same kind of search for you. Most of the work is connecting it to wherever your files are kept. Your business owns what I build.

There are no per user licence fees. Your business owns it outright, so it stays cheap to run however many of your team use it. My fee to set it up is fixed and agreed before I start.

How it works

It starts with a thirty minute call.

  1. 30 minutes

    A call

    Tell me what is broken or missing, in plain English. There are no slides, and you are not signing up to anything.

  2. 48 hours

    A fixed price

    You get a written scope, a fixed price and a delivery date. You decide from there. Most projects start from a few thousand pounds.

  3. 2 to 8 weeks

    A working system

    I build it, deliver it and hand it over. Your business owns the code and the documentation from day one, with thirty days of warranty on bugs.

After launch you can bring me back hourly for changes, or your team can run with the notes I leave behind.

Services

Six kinds of work I build or look after.

  • Internal tools and dashboards

    One place to see and run the business, live numbers and real workflows.

  • Reporting and data

    One set of numbers you can trust, in your inbox before the meeting.

  • Connecting your systems

    Your existing tools share their data, so nobody types it in twice.

  • Automation and AI workflows

    Software takes on the repetitive jobs that eat up your week.

  • Networks and WiFi

    Fast, secure WiFi and a network your business can rely on, set up and looked after.

  • Websites, built and managed

    Your website built properly, then kept fast, secure and up to date on a simple monthly plan.
