Custom Website Development
Websites built as code rather than assembled from a page builder — so they stay fast, stay indexable, and can still be changed in five years.
Independent engineering practice
Software that keeps working after the invoice is paid.
LTP Microservices is one engineer, start to finish: custom websites, business applications and databases, and the Linux servers they run on.

What LTP Microservices builds and looks after
Business and Database Applications
Internal tools, portals, and reporting systems shaped around how a business actually works, instead of bending the business around packaged software.
Automation and API Integrations
Removing the manual step between two systems: scheduled imports and exports, API integrations, and reports that generate themselves.
Legacy System Modernization
Bringing an old but working system onto supported PHP and database versions without a rewrite and without losing behaviour people depend on.
Linux, cPanel and WHM Server Management
Hosting that is administered rather than merely rented: the server, the control panel, the certificates, the backups, and the mail.
Maintenance and Support
Ongoing care for sites and applications, so problems are found before a customer finds them.
Performance and Core Web Vitals
Finding out why a site is slow and fixing the cause, including the parts that live on the server rather than in the page.
Security and Hardening
Making a site survive the automated traffic every public site receives, and cleaning up properly when something has already got in.
Technical SEO
The engineering half of search: making a site crawlable, indexable, fast, and unambiguous about what each page is.

How the work is done
Inspect before changing
Existing systems get read and understood before anything is touched. Code that looks strange is usually solving a problem nobody wrote down, and finding out what that problem was is cheaper than rediscovering it in production.
Own the whole stack
The application, the database, the web server, and the DNS are one system. Being able to work at every layer means a slow page or a bounced email gets diagnosed rather than handed to somebody else.
Prefer less
A dependency is a permanent commitment to somebody else's release schedule. Where a few lines of native code will do, that is what gets written — which is why sites built this way are still maintainable years later.
Leave it documented
Every project ends with a written account of how it is put together, how to deploy it, and what to check when it misbehaves — including the parts that would matter if somebody else took it over.
Have a system that needs building or fixing?
Describe the problem and you will get a direct answer about whether it is worth doing, roughly what it involves, and what it would take.
