🏢 About Finkatana

We Build Websites You Actually Own

Finkatana is a web development and digital security company. We design and build secure websites and web applications, move and harden sites that already exist, and support the systems behind them. You get a written quote before anything starts, standard code any developer can pick up later, and a site with nothing in it that reports your visitors to a company they never chose.

🚀 Why Finkatana Exists

Most small websites are rented, not owned. They sit on a platform that holds the content, load scripts that report every visitor to companies the owner never chose, and cannot be moved without starting again from nothing. When the platform changes its pricing or its rules, the owner has no move to make.

We build the opposite: standard code, on infrastructure you control, with nothing watching the people who trusted you enough to visit. It is a slower way to build and a harder one to sell — and it is the only version we are willing to put our name on.

"We hold client work to the same standard as our own site — no trackers, no CDN, nothing loaded from a domain we don't control. Open your browser's network tab on this page and check us before you ever contact us."

💡 Our Standard

How We Work

Three commitments that apply to every project we take on.

🗣️

Plain Language

We explain what we are doing and why, in words you can act on. You will never be asked to approve something you don't understand, or pay for a line item you cannot evaluate.

🔓

No Lock-In, Ever

Standard HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP — no proprietary page builder. The domain, the hosting and the code stay in your name, so you can take the whole thing elsewhere the day you want to.

⚡

Nothing Extra

No plugin stacks, no tracking scripts, no framework a page doesn't need. Fewer moving parts means a faster site, a smaller attack surface, and far less that can break at 2am.

🔍 Transparency

How We Operate

We work in security, so we hold our own house to the standard we sell. Every commitment below is one you can check — three of them in your browser, right now, before you contact anyone.

✍️

Written Scope, Written Quote

Every engagement starts with a written statement of what is included and what is not. No verbal-only agreements, no scope that quietly drifts after you have paid.

🙅

We Say No When It's Right

If a job falls outside what we do well, we tell you and point you elsewhere. We would rather lose the work than deliver something we cannot stand behind.

🔑

It Is Yours, Not Ours

The domain, the hosting account and the source code are registered in your name and handed over at the end. Nothing is held hostage to keep you as a customer.

🚫

Zero Third-Party Tracking

No Google Analytics, no advertising pixels, no behavioural profiling — here or on what we build for you. Open your browser's network tab on any page and check.

📦

Everything Self-Hosted

All scripts, stylesheets, fonts and images are served from our own infrastructure. No CDN, no external font service — so no outside party learns who visited.

📖

The Library Stays Free

We publish our security work as a free tutorial library — no paywall, no account, no upsell gate — so you can judge how we think before you hire us. Read it here.

⭐ Values

What We Stand For

The principles behind how we quote, build and hand over.

💎

Honesty Over Hype

No exaggeration, no false promises. We tell you what something does, what it does not do, and what it will cost. Truth builds trust.

⚡

Respect Your Time

Clear answers, realistic dates, and no padding. If a build needs three weeks, we say three weeks — not "soon".

🎯

Right-Sized, Not Oversold

We quote what the job actually needs. If a simpler, cheaper approach does it properly, that is the one you will be offered.

🔄

Never Stop Learning

Technology moves. We keep current so that what we ship today is not dated in a year, and so the security decisions we make still hold.
