Based in the Isle of Man
Most agencies sell you a plan. We sell you running software. Every project on this page is live, linked and verifiable, because trust is easier when you can click the proof.
Current engagements
Every project linked and verifiable on this page.
No fictional businesses, no "concept" labels. Real projects at every stage, from products we run ourselves to work still in progress.
A proprietary commercial software application for the Isle of Man rental market. Applicants securely upload ID, proof of address and financial documents; landlords review everything through a password + TOTP two-factor admin system.
A direct-from-landlord rental listings platform for the Isle of Man, built on its own property database and wired into an existing commercial letting system.
A subscription website product for independent used car dealers, where each dealer is provisioned their own branded site rather than a page on a shared portal.
Free quote and invoice generators plus a template library for tradespeople who need a professional-looking document out the door in minutes, not a subscription to learn.
Property turnaround, maintenance coordination and operations management for Isle of Man landlords. A real, current, paying client.
A veterinary practice covering companion pets and farm & livestock on the Isle of Man. Separate service paths for two very different client bases, plus downloadable care guides and a repeat prescription request page.
Campaign website for an independent, self-funded candidate for Ayre & Michael in the 2026 Isle of Man House of Keys General Election, built and hosted for free.
OFTEC-registered, gas-certified plumbing and heating engineers based in Ramsey, covering the whole Isle of Man. Mark had no website before engaging us; a holding page is live now while the full build is finished.
The cafe inside Northern Swimming Pool on Mooragh Promenade, Ramsey. A holding page went live on their new domain the day it was registered; the full four-page site (Home, Menu, Gallery, Visit) is now live, built from a discovery meeting with the owners.
Plastering and rendering, Monocouche systems and EWIPRO external wall insulation, Ramsey, covering the whole Isle of Man. A real, current, paying client.
The standards behind Ready2Rent, our most complex build
Agencies often look the same until you check what is actually behind the claims.
| What you're told | Most agencies | CGI Web Services |
|---|---|---|
| Portfolio | Labelled "concept project" | Real, live, linked sites |
| Who builds it | Unnamed team, account manager | One person: Chris |
| Pricing | "Contact us for a quote" | Published, from £249 |
| Hosting | ~£31.50/month on its own | Included from £39/month |
| Support | £85/hour, one-hour minimum | Included in hosting plans |
We build the site, then we keep it running. No vague retainers, no mystery invoices.
A site that loads instantly, works properly on a phone, and says clearly what your business does and how to get in touch. Built by hand, not assembled from a template with your logo dropped in.
Hosting, security and small changes handled for you after launch, so the site that looked right on day one still works and looks right a year later.
We keep the process small and the communication direct. You will not get a 40-slide strategy deck. You will get a working site and clear updates.
Talk through the actual problem: what is slowing your business down, who your customers are, what the site needs to do for you specifically.
You see working pages as they are built, with real updates, not a single reveal at the end.
Forms, links and mobile layout checked for real before anything is announced.
Ongoing hosting, security and small changes handled so the site stays right long after launch day.
Clear starting prices below, then a fixed quote agreed before any work starts. Site packages are built on a hosting plan, not sold as a one-off handover.
Every package is built on one of our hosting and maintenance plans below.

Site packages require a 12-month hosting minimum. Domain registration and any paid third-party tools are not included in the prices above. Where we register your domain and put a holding page up before the build, hosting runs from that date at £15 a month. At launch you move to your chosen plan, with the holding-page days already paid credited against the first part-month. Projects that do not fit a package get a real fixed price: tell us what you need.
I am Chris. I design and build the sites and systems on the Work page myself: the same person you would talk to at the start is the one still there at launch, and after it.
A lot of small businesses on the Island get offered the same thing: a templated site, sold with adjectives instead of proof, from an agency that has not actually shipped anything you can check. CGI Web Services competes on the opposite: real projects, published prices, and direct contact with whoever is actually doing the work.
Ready2Rent is the clearest proof: a complex, proprietary commercial software application handling real payments, encrypted documents and GDPR compliance, designed and built from the ground up and still actively operated. Ready 4 Rent is a real, current local client. All linked on the Work page, along with IoM Rentals (a custom rental platform integrated live with Ready2Rent), Stock & Sold (a subscription dealer-website product), TradeQuoteKit (another in-house product), Julia Bell's pro bono campaign site, Plastering IOM and Northern Pool Cafe (both also live), and Bride Vets and Mark Turner Plumbing & Heating, two real client projects currently in progress.
An outdated site, a phone that does not ring because nobody can find you, a booking process held together with texts and sticky notes: whatever it is, this goes to a real inbox, checked by the person who will actually do the work.
