Welcome to The Purple Journal

This is where we’ll share what’s happening in our world and what’s catching our attention in yours. Think of it as a practical corner of the website for news, articles, tips, and the occasional opinion on all things tech.

We’ll be writing about:

  • Technology news that actually matters to small and growing businesses

  • Practical guidance on IT, systems, security, and digital working

  • Tools we rate, tools we don’t, and why

  • Lessons learned from real client work, without the jargon

  • General thoughts on technology trends, common mistakes, and smarter ways of working

Our approach is simple. Technology should support your business, not slow it down, confuse it, or keep you awake at night. We focus on clarity, reliability, and sensible decisions, not buzzwords or shiny distractions.

There may be a little humour along the way. Tech can be frustrating, and pretending otherwise doesn’t help anyone. If we can explain something clearly and make you smile at the same time, that’s a bonus.

We won’t post for the sake of posting. When something is worth sharing, you’ll find it here.

If there’s a topic you’d like us to cover, or a question you keep asking your IT provider, let us know. Chances are, you’re not the only one wondering.

Thanks for reading, and welcome to The Purple Journal.
