One partner, every tool you need
ECK-Technology helps small businesses build, run and fix the software they depend on. Instead of juggling separate specialists, you get one experienced engineer who moves comfortably across the whole stack.

What clients say
“Before working with ECK Technology, I had a logo on my phone and a vague idea of what I wanted my business to look like online. Dave took all of that and turned it into something I'm genuinely proud of. He handled everything — the branding, the website copy, the SEO — and explained it all in plain English along the way. I didn't need to understand the technical side; I just needed to trust someone who did. The site went live without a hitch, it ranks well locally, and I get compliments on it regularly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend ECK Technology to any small business owner who wants the job done properly.”
“My old website was outdated and didn't reflect the quality of the guesthouse at all. Dave came in and transformed everything. He visited to take professional photos and video, helped me find the right look and feel, and built a site that I'm genuinely proud to send guests to. The booking system is seamlessly integrated — guests would never know it's a third-party tool — and the whole site works beautifully on mobile. Since the new site went live, I've seen a real improvement in direct bookings and online visibility. Dave handled every technical detail so I didn't have to, and he was always clear about what he was doing and why. If you're a small business owner who wants a website that actually works for your business, I can't recommend ECK Technology highly enough.”
“I am delighted to highly recommend David Hutchings and ECK Technology for their outstanding IT support, software development, and business systems expertise. We have worked with David for many years, and throughout that time he has consistently delivered exceptional service, innovative solutions, and remarkable value for money. His technical knowledge is second to none, but what truly sets him apart is his ability to understand how a business operates and then create practical, cost-effective solutions that make a real difference. For over 13 years, David has supported our IT systems, including our back-office software and the development and ongoing maintenance of our bespoke intranet platform, Datalink. This system acts as a vital bridge between our third-party back-office providers and our staff and clients, delivering functionality that the standard software simply does not offer. One of the most impressive aspects of David's work has been his ability to adapt Datalink through several changes of back-office systems over the years. These transitions could easily have caused disruption, but thanks to his expertise and foresight, our day-to-day operations continued seamlessly. He has repeatedly demonstrated an ability to solve complex business challenges by designing and implementing custom solutions that meet our exact requirements. In addition to maintaining our core systems, David handles data imports, customer enquiries, and ongoing system enhancements. Whenever we identify a process that could be improved or encounter a limitation with our existing software, David is able to develop practical solutions quickly and efficiently, often integrating them directly into Datalink. His responsiveness, reliability, and commitment to delivering results have been invaluable to our business. What I value most about working with David and ECK Technology is their combination of exceptional service, technical excellence, and affordability. It is rare to find a technology partner who consistently delivers such high-quality work while remaining so approachable, dependable, and cost-effective. I would not hesitate to recommend David Hutchings and his company ECK Technology to any organisation looking for a trusted technology partner capable of supporting, enhancing, and future-proofing critical business systems.”
“Dave was recommended to us by someone else in the tech world and we have been really impressed with how efficiently he works and how responsive he is whenever we have a query. We are a busy law firm and required a diary system that was able to keep up with our needs in managing hundreds of appointments, hearing dates, annual leave etc. Dave was able to design and build exactly what we needed and we haven't had any issues over the last three years of working with him!”
