I’m Frank Bailey, founder of studio256. I specialise in website security — fixing hacked, offline and broken WordPress and WooCommerce sites, hardening them against repeat attacks, and getting you back online fast. I also build custom web applications and design logos for clients in South Africa and abroad. You get personal attention, and you’re in the loop every step of the way.
