Web design services
Ross Burgess, trading as Foxearth IT Solutions, maintains a number of websites, mainly for voluntary groups associated with the LGBT community in Croydon and South London. However he's now largely retired, and not normally looking to take on extra work.

Some other sites:
- Roger and Ross celebrated their civil partnership on the first day that the law allowed (they later converted it to a marriage).
- We arranged some re-enactments of ancient church ceremonies for uniting two people of the same sex (archived version).
- And Ross is an active contributor to Wikipedia and to the UK LGBT Archive.
- Ross previously maintained the websites for UNACC (The Upper Norwood Association for Community Care) and Age UK Croydon and Advice Services Croydon (archived version).
in 2008, Ross created two social networking sites: lgbtcroydon.ning.com and lgbtlondon.ning.com. These had 103 and 215 members respectively when they were discontinued in August 2010 as a result of a change in the Ning company's pricing policy. He subsequently assisted with the LGBT London website, maintained by the LGBT Consortium, until this was discontinued through lack of funding.
The Age of Diversity and LGBT Croydon websites incorporate interactive facilities using the Drupal content management system.
