About Us

A small studio that does the work itself

Based in Poole, Dorset, we build privacy-first software, design websites that convert, and keep them online with managed hosting.

An independent studio from Poole, Dorset

Digital Fracture started as a one-person Joomla-and-Firefox-extensions project and grew into a small, self-funded studio covering software development, web design, and managed hosting, all under one roof in Poole. We deliberately stayed small. There's no account-management layer between the person you email and the person writing the code, no offshore team doing the actual work behind a UK badge, and no venture money pushing the business to scale past the point where every project still gets proper attention. That structure is what lets us keep prices honest, response times short, and the quality bar high across very different types of work.

What we do

Software

Browser extensions, web apps, and privacy tools, built without a single line of tracking code. 7 extensions, 6+ web apps, and counting.

How we work

Privacy by design

No tracking pixels, no analytics harvesting, no selling data. Privacy is architecture, not marketing.

Earns its place

We only build what solves a real problem. No bloat, no dark patterns, no upsells. It works or it goes.

Honest pricing

Most tools are free. Where we charge, it's straightforward. No hidden fees, no forced upgrades.

What we actually mean by "privacy-first"

Most software companies treat privacy as a compliance problem, a cookie banner, a GDPR page, a data-processing agreement, and then quietly keep running the same analytics stack as everyone else. We treat it as an engineering constraint. That means no Google Analytics, no Facebook Pixel, no Hotjar, no session recorders, no third-party ad networks, and no behavioural tracking across our sites. It means InfoBin encrypts your files in the browser so we physically can't read them. It means our extensions ask for the minimum permissions they need and no more. And when we build a website for a client, we default to the same posture, so the people visiting your site aren't paying for it with their browsing history.
