What it is
A chance to solve digital niggles.
Every small business has digital niggles: tools that don’t talk, bookings that feel clunky, workflows that take too many clicks, a site that undersells the work.
That niggle is usually a symptom - something in the digital setup is capping how much work you deliver without more hours, or a tech hire.
A Fix It Day is a repair where you bring one thing, work on it with support, and leave with progress.
Places stay small so you get direct help from the host, and the company of people dealing with the same kind of friction.
What we can help with
- Setup & admin - e.g. domains and email that don’t fall over when you’re busy
- Managing data - e.g. one place for clients instead of hunting duplicates
- Web presence - e.g. forms that actually capture enquiries
- AI & workflows - e.g. automations that remove repeat handovers
- Systems & tooling - e.g. getting current tools to carry more of the load
How a session works.
Formats vary from full day, half day, or a shorter three-hour block. Regardless of length, the structure stays the same.
01
Introductions & overlaps
Meet your peers, share what you’re working on, and spot where problems (or tools) might overlap.
02
Focused work + 1-on-1 support
Work independently or in small groups. The host rotates through technical surgeries so you get help on your specific issue.
03
Share progress (optional)
If you’re comfortable, show what moved forward. No pitch, no performance - just useful updates.
04
Extras when there’s room
Longer sessions may include a break or a short optional mini-workshop - for example connecting AI tools to external services.

About the organiser
I’m Rory.
Edinburgh-based, self-employed since 2009. I’ve spent years building digital products and helping people get them working in the real world. These days I help owners gain capacity: fixing the basics, reducing the manual grind, then using tech to support growth.
Fix It Days are the format I like best for that first step: small groups, real in-person time, and the chance to bounce ideas off people wrestling with similar issues.
In the meantime
Book office hours.
Free for anyone to sign up — pick a time and we can chat over whatever’s stuck, especially the stuff that’s quietly limiting how much you can get done.
