Lilypad IT Solutions | Expertise
Bespoke web apps & sites
We've been designing and building bespoke web applications on the LAMP platform (Linux![[external link]](img/external_link.png)
, Apache, MySql and PHP) for more than 20 years. That takes us back to the early days of PHP 3.
Lilypad can assist you alongside all phases of your project, from wireframes to live launch and everything in-between. As well as implementing the server side of your application, we will develop a user-friendly, interactive and responsive user interface that will make your users want to see it.
Just need a simple website that you can keep up-to-date yourself without the need for a Computer Science degree? We will get you up and running with your own CMS (we love CMS Made Simple) faster than you think.
Of course we partner with awesome graphic designers to make sure your web app or website looks as good as it works.
GNU/Linux solutions
So, you cannot find any off-the-shelf (and sensibly priced) integrated solution for all your cloud services? Bring it on. We are always looking for new challenges.
No matter if you need a rock solid web or extranet server, a spam-free email server or even a cloud-based file solution, we can help you.
Lilypad works with the best data centres in Europe, so you can rest assured that your data will always be available. 24/7. Forever.
Server management & support
Let us specify, install, configure, secure, backup, update and monitor your physical and virtual servers, no matter if they are in the cloud or in your office's comms cabinet. A server managed by Lilypad is a well-loved server. So much so, you'll never hear it complain again.
We only look after GNU/Linux systems. Our heart is set on the Debian distribution but we manage many CentOS systems too and always welcome new flavours. We use Nagios for monitoring our infrastructure and Bacula to back it up.
Over the years, we have developed great tools to help us efficiently monitor and maintain our infrastructure. We believe healthy servers need frequent attention to make sure they always run at their best. This is why we review our server logs everyday, all year round. Even when all alarm bells are quiet and the bad guys are nowhere to be seen. We are that paranoid and dedicated to our job.
ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING
Contact us now to find out more about our in-house monitoring solutions, the Lilypad Monitors. Temperature (ambient or inside appliances), relative humidity, water detection... If it can be measured, we can monitor it.
We can install both wired and wireless probes so deployment is straighforward. Our solution comes with a user-friendly and powerful web interface that lets you view all your data in real-time and remotely.
And should anything get out of spec, you will receive instant alerts by SMS and/or email so any issues can be addressed straight away.
Our environmental monitoring solution is already used in laboratories and micro-breweries and is ideal to help achieve compliance for your audits.

I aim to deliver outstanding solutions and tailored services to my clients by listening to them, understanding the way they work and using my expertise to help them work more efficiently.
Having done this job since the last millenium, I can easily manage by myself most small to medium size projects. For anything really big, I have built over the years a network of contractors and agencies who can help expand Lilypad from a pond into a lake in just a few clicks.
I am based in Dorking, right in the middle of the beautiful Surrey hills. That's 50 minutes away from Central London and even closer to Gatwick and Heathrow.
