Website mistakes that quietly hurt small organisations
Eight common website mistakes that block enquiries or damage trust, plus a checklist you can work through in an hour without rebuilding everything.
Short, practical articles to help small and medium organisations get their domains, websites, Cloudflare, email, logging, and privacy policies into a stable shape. Written for owners, directors, and managers, not technicians.
The goal is simple. You should be able to read a page here and make a concrete decision about your setup, or at least know what to ask your current supplier.
These guides cover the decisions that affect almost every small organisation, regardless of sector. If you only have time to read a couple of pages, start here.
Eight common website mistakes that block enquiries or damage trust, plus a checklist you can work through in an hour without rebuilding everything.
Which domains to buy, how to protect your name and email reputation, and how to avoid quietly paying for names you do not need.
A structure for privacy wording that matches what you actually do in practice, reduces GDPR risk, and avoids copy and paste promises you cannot keep.
A plain comparison between static sites and WordPress for real world use. Security, running costs, editing, and what happens when staff change.
Many SMEs already have Cloudflare in front of their site, usually switched on by a previous supplier. The pages below explain what it is actually doing and how it affects stability, security, and disputes.
What Cloudflare really does, the few settings that matter, and where people quietly break their own sites and email with well meaning changes.
How better logging from Cloudflare, hosting, and email tools can change the tone of complaints, audits, and regulator questions.
Growth usually means more tools, more logins, and more risk that the original setup becomes nobody’s job. The knowledge hub is built to help you keep control without needing to become a full time web person.
You can see examples of this approach in live use on The Reasonable Adjustment, where I use the same skills in public interest work.
Reading helps, but sometimes you just want someone to map your current setup, steady it, and write it down in normal language so you can move on.
Ki-Ki is built for that gap. I work as a digital generalist for small organisations, covering domains, DNS, websites, Cloudflare, email, logging, and policies in one joined up view.
If capacity is tight I will say so and give a realistic start window. No sales scripts, no pressure.
