IT for Canberra small businesses
Email protection, Microsoft 365 and websites, done properly by a local, at fixed prices.
Everything is done by email. No calls needed.
Free check: can someone pretend to be your business?
Send me your web address and I'll check, for free:
- whether anyone can send email that looks like it came from your business (the SPF, DKIM and DMARC records);
- whether your website's security certificate is valid, so visitors don't see a warning;
- whether your site loads properly on phones.
Services and prices
Email protection
Stops scammers sending email as your business, the trick behind many fake-invoice scams. Set up in stages over 4 to 6 weeks, so none of your real email bounces. Includes a check that multi-factor sign-in is on for your mailboxes. Optional monitoring after that: A$25 a month.
Website fix
Expired security certificate, a "Not secure" warning, or a placeholder page where your site should be. Found and fixed with your web host.
Move to Microsoft 365
From your web host's email to Microsoft 365, with your existing mail brought across, your computers and phones set up, and email protection included. You buy the licences from Microsoft directly.
New website
Fast and mobile-friendly, with free hosting, and the domain stays in your name. An optional care plan at A$99 a month covers updates, backups, certificate and email monitoring, and 30 minutes of edits each month.
Custom tools and apps
Booking and quote forms, turning a spreadsheet into a simple app, Microsoft 365 workflows. Fixed scope, fixed price, agreed before any work starts.
How it works
- Free check. I look at your email and website from the outside, the same way the rest of the internet sees them, and email you what I find.
- Fixed quote by email. One price, agreed in writing. No hourly surprises.
- Careful changes. Done in stages, with a way back at every step, so your email and website keep working. You or your web person follow my written steps, or give me access.
- One-page handover. What changed, where it lives, and what to do next time.
No calls needed.
I use modern tools, including AI assistants, to prepare checks and code quickly. Every change is reviewed and made by me, and I ask before any of your information goes into them.
