★★★★★

Control Shift are always amazing to deal with, with expertise second-to-none. Having worked with them for years, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone who’s looking to up their web game. Nothing is ever too difficult, and they’re great at explaining technical topics in ways that are easy-to-grasp.

I’ve been using Paul and the team at Control Shift for a number of years now – for their exceptional hosting and tech services and also to have the websites I design, developed into working sites. I’ve consistently been impressed on all fronts, as have my clients.

★★★★★

So stoked with Control Shift, they have been incredibly generous with their time and support while we’ve been getting our website right. They’ve shown a lot of patience and care throughout the process, and the end result looks awesome. Really appreciate their flexibility and the extra effort they’ve put in to help us out.

Frequently asked

Common questions.

Still have a question? We are always happy to help, no pressure.

Do I have to host with you?

Yes. To build or look after a site, we host it. It is how we keep everything reliable and under one roof.

For simpler sites, yes, in-house. For bigger builds we work with trusted design partners, or your own designer.

That is what Partner Services is for: design, marketing, IT, photography and more, from people we trust.

Yes, small to medium WooCommerce stores. For large or complex stores we bring in a specialist.

We would rather be excellent at one thing than average at everything. Specialising in WordPress means faster builds, fewer surprises, and years of experience behind every site. If it is not the right fit for you, we will say so.

It happens more than you would think. We can regain access to your site, take it over, and become your ongoing team. No judgement, we just get you sorted.

We stay on. Your site is hosted and looked after by us, with updates, backups, monitoring and support whenever you need it. We do not hand it over and disappear.

Just get in touch. We will have a chat about what you need and what the next steps look like. The first conversation is always relaxed, no pressure.
