Similarly to the owner of SC Pipelines, Martin Crossley the owner of Hollingworth Fire Systems, had also built a previous, successful business that he sold and was now starting again in the same field.

I didn’t know Martin before but we “met” through a local Facebook Group when someone recommended me after he posted a request for help in creating a website for his new business.

The website has more of a traditional, corporate feel to meet the expectation of its core client base. It does, however, have a fresher more modern look too with the short looped video clip which plays behind a “masked overlay” in the first (Hero) section on the Home Page.

The navigation header section is “fixed” so that it remains at the top of the screen as the visitor scrolls down the page but it contracts slightly after an initial scroll. More so on laptop view than mobile.

There are actually two versions of the header section on this site – black text on a white background on the home page and then the colouring reversed on all the other pages.

Purely for aesthetic reasons. 🙂

Towards the bottom of every page is a “carousel” section displaying logos of the suppliers that the business deals with. It’s quite a common feature on websites these days but one that I think looks good and works well.

The business was dissolved in early 2026, when Martin moved to another part of the UK and joined a large fire security company near his new home. However, you can still find the development version of the site here.

Please do get in touch if I may be able to help with improving the performance of your website, or growing your business in any way.

Attracting New Customers To Your Business…

…and get existing ones coming back for more

Why Customology?

Websites, Branding, Marketing & Business Development

In 2026, EVERY business looking to grow needs an active online presence to best present, project and promote its products or services to its prospective customers.

Online is where it’s at. If not in “buying” directly, then in helping the buying decision. Through research, recommendations and reviews.

For some small, local service-based businesses, just having a proactive and consistent social media strategy – including a steady flow of reviews and recommendations – alone will suffice.

Most other businesses will need a website, to at the very least meet the minimum expectations of their (potential) customers.

Although many may deem to tell you how good they are and promise they can help your business, I don’t feel that’s my place to do so.

Instead, I’ll share with you some examples of past projects – and testimonials from previous clients – so you can decide for yourself if I may be able to help your business.

Working With Customology

Client Testimonials

"A pleasure to work with from start to finish"

Alan has recently completed work to rebuild our company website and myself and my business partner are delighted with the finished article.

From start to finish we found Alan a pleasure to work with. He took the time to fully immerse himself into researching the industry we work in and the products and services that we offer, so he could ensure that his work was 100% accurate and effective.

Not only was Alan’s technical knowledge excellent, but his business experience showed throughout the process. I would highly recommend Alan from Customology.

"Highly recommended if you’re looking for a website"

It’s finally here…

We’ve been without a website for some time now and we’ve had local developer Alan Rogers from Customology in Todmorden build one from scratch. It’s been well worth the wait!

We’ve had everything out on it we wanted and Alan has been great from the initial meeting to the end of the design and beyond.

Highly recommended if you’re looking for a website.

"I feel very lucky to have chosen Customology"

I feel very lucky to have chosen Customology to create my new website.

From the very beginning, I realized that Alan was going to be thorough in all aspects of this project.

More than just that, Alan continues to scrupulously maintain the site with 100% ongoing communication.

"Utterly professional but also friendly and engaging"

Alan has redesigned and rebuilt our Company website and the whole process, from start to finish, has been a pleasure. In sharp contrast to previous experiences!

Alan is utterly professional but also friendly and engaging. He listened to what we did and what we were about and was then able to help with everything from style and functionality to content.

Everything he said he would do was done on time and to budget and we now have an end product that we are delighted with. I cannot recommend his services highly enough.

"We are absolutely delighted with the end product"

The whole process (the creation of our new website) has been enjoyable. Alan has been incredibly supportive and has guided us effectively in the decision-making process and we are absolutely delighted with the end product.

We can’t praise Alan enough and we can highly recommend Alan and his website development talents, which extend far beyond his more than capable technical skills, and include his understanding of business, which has been very helpful in deciding layout and content, but also to his ongoing support. Thank you so much Alan.

Building Your Business

Website Design

Modern, professional, engaging, high-performance websites which are easy & intuitive for your visitor to view. Every site is individually tailored and optimised for viewing on all different devices and screen sizes. Prices start from just £1200.

Business Branding

Whether your current company branding is outdated and is having a detrimental effect on the perception of your business, or you’re starting a new business from scratch, Customology can help to enhance your business’s positioning in your industry.

Marketing & Promotion

Having an attractive, professional and engaging website is (unfortunately) only the first step. It won’t help your business if nobody sees it. Customology can help in showing you ways to drive prospects to your website and encourage enquiries.

Website Hosting

All website hosting is not equal and can even vary quite dramatically between different servers within the same provider. If your website is slow in loading, or often going down/offline then this can affect its overall performance scores & ranking.

Search Engine Optimisation

Every Customology website has a deliberate SEO structure and solid foundation inbuilt from its very first steps. Upon completion, extra software is added to help Google identify and rank the site quickly. Additional SEO enhancement is also available.

Website Management

If your (WordPress) website plays an integral part in your business’s operation, Customology’s Website Support & Maintenance Package will provide peace of mind that it’s being monitored, managed and maintained for you at all times.

NB. I don’t carry out all of these services personally, especially photography, logos and graphics work, but I have connections with people who do – and can help in original design concepts, instruction & project management.

About Customology

A Different Perspective…

My background, before deciding I wanted to work with and help local independent companies to better present and promote themselves, was in business management – rather than graphic design.

So whilst a well-designed, well-structured, engaging and informative website is often at the core, the overriding objective lies beyond this.

To enhance the perception and positioning of your business to fulfil its potential to attract more new customers – and get existing ones coming back for more.

Firstly, I take time to immerse myself in your business, as many clients have commented. To better understand it – and also your potential customers – and then weave that understanding into your website,

I am then often able to offer suggestions and ideas on ways to further market and promote your business – and then on how to engage with both your prospects and the customers you already have.

It’s never just about the website…

PS. Although I’m based in Todmorden in West Yorkshire and naturally connect more with businesses situated close to me, I do have clients all around the UK – from London to Edinburgh. Including some whom I’m still yet to meet in person!
