Independent technology company
Skull Solutions handles technology from the office Wi-Fi to the API behind your app: IT services, software engineering, infrastructure, consulting and security. Bring us the problem, even if you don't know what it's called.
What we do
Some of it is everyday IT work. Some of it is difficult engineering. Both matter, and we treat them that way.
Computers, software installs, domains, filtering, CCTV and the everyday technology a business runs on.
Custom applications, APIs, platforms, automation, databases and integrations.
Cloud, domains, DNS, networking and deployment — the operational systems software runs on.
Technical decisions, architecture reviews and a second opinion on systems that got complicated.
Cyber-safety training, security reviews and application security, with penetration testing through SkullSploit.
Technology we build and run ourselves, starting with SkullEdu.

Problems we solve
Nobody writes to us asking for “DNS remediation”. They write things like these, and every one of them has somewhere to go.
Our computers keep having problems.

We need a network that actually works.

We need a QR menu.

IT Services
Small jobs are real jobs. A computer that boots, Office that activates, filtering that actually filters: this is what keeps a business running, and it deserves the same care as anything else we do.
Prices in black are fixed. Installation prices cover our work. Software licences — Windows, Microsoft Office or Microsoft 365 — are separate, and we only install properly licensed software.
A clean install of Windows or Linux, set up and ready to use.
Microsoft Office installed, activated with your licence, and working.
Your domain pointed where it should be, and your files organised in Google Drive so people can find them.
Sensible limits on what children can reach, on their devices and on your home network.
Block known-bad and unwanted websites for every device on the network, before they load.
Filtering and restrictions configured directly on your ONT or router, so they apply to every device at once.
Tell us what you need and we will source it for you — hardware, software or services — and set it up.
For restaurants & cafés
A mobile-friendly menu page and a QR code for the table. No reprinting when a price changes.

On site · survey first
Cameras chosen for your site, installed, configured and handed over working. Every site is different, so the price comes after the survey, not before.
Survey + quotation Details
Networking
Office and home networks, guest Wi-Fi with captive portals, and filtering at the router, explained without the jargon.
A small-business network planned, configured and tested — Wi-Fi that reaches, and devices that connect.
The page guests see before they get on your Wi-Fi — for a café, a restaurant, an office lobby or a public space.
Customers get Wi-Fi. Your point-of-sale terminals, cameras and office machines stay on a network they cannot see.
Separate networks for guests, staff and devices, filtering, and access controls that make sense for a small site.
This is sensible protection for homes and small businesses, not an enterprise network architecture.
Quarterly Tech Health Checkup
Preventative maintenance for a company's technology. Every quarter we go through your computers, network and accounts, fix the small things, and give you a short list of what needs attention.
A checkup finds problems while they are cheap to fix. It cannot promise that nothing will ever fail or that no incident will happen — nothing honest can.
Software & Engineering
Custom applications, APIs, automation and the infrastructure underneath them, for people who need them to keep working long after launch day.
Web applications, internal tools, SaaS platforms, business systems and mobile apps.
The part users never see: APIs, data, identity and the integrations that hold a product together.
Architecture, cloud, containers and networking for software that has to keep running.
The repetitive work between your systems, done by software on a schedule instead of by a person with a spreadsheet.
AI where it earns its place: document processing, automation and features that genuinely benefit from a model.
AI is a tool we use where it fits. We will tell you when a plain rule or a database query does the job better.
Types of system, not a gallery of logos. Ask about something like yours and we'll tell you straight whether it's work we do.
Consulting
Reviews and advice for software, infrastructure and the decisions around them — from someone who looks at the whole system.
Vibe Code Consulting
We can inspect the system, find the problems, and help you turn the prototype into something you can actually operate.
Assessment required How a review works
Infrastructure consulting
Once software is real, where it runs, how it ships, how it's backed up and who notices when it breaks all start to matter. We look at the whole system, not one component of it.
Assessment required Details
An independent look at how a system is designed, where it will strain, and what to change first.
A clear answer to a technical question: should we build or buy, can this be rescued, what will this take.
Security
Security at Skull Solutions is practical: training the people, reviewing the setup, designing applications that hold up. When you need an attacker's view, that's SkullSploit.
Skull Solutions protects
Practical sessions that teach staff to spot phishing, protect accounts and report problems early.
More about Cyber-safety trainingArchitecture review, threat modelling and secure code review: how an application was designed, and what it should defend against.
Accounts, access, devices and configuration checked against the basics that stop most incidents.
Block known-bad and unwanted websites for every device on the network, before they load.
SkullSploit tests
SkullSploit · offensive security
SkullSploit is the offensive-security arm of Skull Solutions, focused on finding vulnerabilities in applications, APIs and systems.
Someone tries to break into your application the way an attacker would, by hand, as each kind of user.
The API behind your app, tested directly — including the requests your own app never makes.
Whether every account can reach only what it is meant to reach.
Your own rules on prices, limits, approvals and ownership, bent on purpose.
In development, not for sale yet: Security research · Exploit development · Deeper offensive-security work
SkullSploit doesn't write the fixes for what it finds. Testing and fixing are kept apart on purpose, and the engineering that closes findings happens at Skull Solutions.
Products
Skull Solutions doesn't only do client work. It also builds and runs products of its own.
Education
Teaches technology.
The education product in the Skull family: courses, online learning and instructor-led technical education.
Ask about SkullEduHow we work
A QR menu passes through some of these in an afternoon. A custom platform spends weeks in each. Nobody gets a methodology they don't need.
Figure out what you actually need, which is not always what was first asked for.
Look at what exists: the system, the constraints, the infrastructure, the risks.
Choose an approach that fits the problem and the budget.
Implement, install, configure or engineer it.
Verify it works. For anything security-sensitive, test how it fails too.
Document it and explain it, so it is yours and not a mystery.
Ongoing support or recurring health checks, where they make sense.

Technical range
The same people configure routers and design APIs. That range is the point: most real problems cross more than one layer, and someone has to see all of them.
About
Skull Solutions works across software, systems, infrastructure and security. We take the practical jobs and the complicated ones, and the problems that don't fit neatly into either.
An Office install does not need a discovery workshop. A platform build does. The process fits the job.
Sometimes that is less than you asked for, or a cheaper tool than the one you had in mind.
No account managers between you and the person configuring your network or writing your code.
