Dear all,

After much reflection and time, I have made the difficult decision to stop taking on any new projects and maintenance requests here at Cocode Designs. For the time being, this website will remain active as a portfolio, a small showcase of the creativity and passion I have poured into each project over the last eight and a half years. I am incredibly proud of everything that has been accomplished along this journey, and hope that whatever comes out of this will guide me in future endeavours.

I want to take this time to personally thank each of you for your trust and support. Whether you’ve been with me from the beginning or recently discovered my work, your encouragement has meant everything to me. I am incredibly proud of the work we have done together and will always cherish the relationships I have built with you. It has been an honour to collaborate with such wonderful clients, and I will always be grateful for the opportunities and relationships that have grown through this venture. Thank you for being part of this journey.

With gratitude,

Nathan Hawkes

Supporting Local Businesses

I am a developer based in Greater Manchester, home of industry and technology.  Our contributions to the world of computing are known worldwide, and I want to support this and help it to thrive.  I use primarily local suppliers for services, especially for hosting.  I have partnered with Kualo and Unlimited Web Hosting and work with UK and EU based businesses to deliver our core services.

Supporting Local Charities

I work with a lot of charities and non-profit organisations, and I like to get them the best possible deal and help them to get online.  Using connections with non-profits in the past, I have been able to put together a service that helps non-profits on tight budgets.  Charity services are priced competitively, and our overall support package sources support from UK based businesses to help level the playing field for local, regional, and national charities.

Supporting the Environment

We have one world and we want to do our part to protect it.  By partnering with Kualo, clients have been able to take advantage of their services powered using 100% renewable energy.  Where possible, chosen partners use recycled and recyclable material, and all of Cocode’s backend is paper-free.  I am still looking to reduce my environmental footprint where possible and are exploring more responsible practices, especially with customer management procedures.

Supporting an Open Tech World

The World Wide Web was conceived in the early 1990s as a mechanism to allow people to share and access information.  It was founded on the principle that anyone, anywhere, could access and use it freely, without having to ask for permission or licencing the technologies. This freedom has been a core aspect of the web, allowing and encouraging others to build new technologies and languages and management systems. Without it, Cocode Designs would not exist, so it is important that I contribute to that technology and the open-source world.
