No dedicated IT team
The owner or office manager becomes the accidental IT person — juggling passwords, broken workflows, and vendor tickets on top of their real job.
Small business IT
Self-service IT for small business.
You shouldn't need a full-time IT staff or an expensive software agency to run modern tools. We help small businesses set up, automate, and maintain the software they rely on — plus custom-built websites and HR tools tailored to how your team actually works.
The problem
You need modern software. You don't need enterprise overhead.
Agency pricing doesn't fit
Large software firms quote enterprise retainers for work that should take days, not quarters. Small businesses need practical help at a sensible scale.
Generic software, specific problems
Spreadsheets and duct-taped SaaS tools only go so far. Your process is unique — you need lightweight custom software that matches how you actually operate.
What we deliver
IT services sized for your business
Pick what you need — support, setup, automation, a custom website, or HR tools built around your policies. Every engagement starts with a written plan so you know exactly what you're getting.
Support
On-demand IT helpdesk
Email, chat, or scheduled calls when something breaks — email setup, password resets, device issues, and vendor coordination without a full-time hire.
- Same-day response for urgent issues
- Documented fixes your team can reuse
- No minimum seat count or long contract
Cloud
Cloud & productivity setup
Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, file sharing, backups, and access controls configured correctly from day one.
- Secure account provisioning
- Shared drives and permissions
- Backup and recovery basics
Automation
Workflow automation
Replace manual copy-paste between tools with automations — intake forms, notifications, approvals, and reporting that run while you focus on customers.
- Form-to-spreadsheet pipelines
- CRM and email triggers
- Scheduled reports
Custom apps
Tailored applications
Internal portals, customer dashboards, inventory trackers, and booking tools built with React, Next.js, and Node — sized for your business, not a Fortune 500 budget.
- Web apps your staff can actually use
- Mobile-friendly interfaces
- Integrations with tools you already pay for

Link accounting, scheduling, CRM, and payment systems so data flows once — no double entry, fewer errors.

- Data cleanup and mapping
Security
Security essentials
Practical baseline security for small teams — MFA rollout, access reviews, safe sharing practices, and guidance without fear-based upselling.
- MFA and password policies
- Role-based access
- Simple security checklist
Websites
Custom-built websites
Professional business websites designed and developed for your brand — not a template with your logo pasted on. Fast load times, SEO, and forms that deliver leads straight to your inbox.
- Mobile-first Next.js sites
- Contact, quote & booking forms
- Google-ready SEO & analytics
HR tools
Tailored HR & people tools
Onboarding, PTO requests, staff directories, and review workflows built for small teams — without paying for enterprise HR software you will never fully use.

Advisory
Software selection guidance
Unbiased advice on which tools to buy — and which to skip. We help you evaluate vendors before you sign another annual subscription.
- Requirements workshop
- Shortlist comparison
- Implementation roadmap
Custom websites
A website that works as hard as you do
Skip the page-builder templates. We design and build fast, professional sites tailored to your business — with the forms, SEO, and self-service features your customers expect.
Brand-ready business websites
Fast, mobile-first sites built with Next.js — professional design, SEO, contact forms, and analytics without bloated page builders.
Customer self-service pages
Quote requests, appointment booking, document uploads, and FAQ hubs that reduce phone calls and email back-and-forth.
Easy to update
Simple content areas your office manager can edit — no developer required for day-to-day text and image changes.
HR tools
People operations without the enterprise price tag
Small businesses still need onboarding, time-off tracking, and staff resources — but not a $50K/year HR platform. We build lightweight HR tools shaped around your team size and policies.
Employee onboarding portals
New hires complete paperwork, upload IDs, and review policies in one guided flow — HR gets notified when each step is done.
Time-off & PTO tracking
Request, approve, and balance leave without enterprise HR software pricing — built around your approval chain.
Staff directories & handbooks
Central place for org charts, policy docs, emergency contacts, and role-specific resources your team can access anytime.
Performance & review workflows
Lightweight review cycles, goal check-ins, and manager sign-off — sized for 5–50 person teams, not corporate HRIS bloat.
Custom applications
Software built around your workflow
Beyond websites and HR — we build operations tools when spreadsheets and off-the-shelf SaaS stop working: scheduling, intake, inventory, client portals, and internal dashboards.
- React & Next.js — fast on every device
- Secure forms, email delivery, and admin panels
- Integrations with QuickBooks, Stripe, Google, and more
- You own the code — no proprietary lock-in
Client intake portal
Replace paper forms with a branded web flow that emails your team and saves records automatically.
Operations dashboard
See jobs, staff, and revenue in one place instead of five tabs.
Booking & scheduling
Let customers self-serve appointments while your calendar stays in sync.

FAQ
Common questions
- Do you only work with AEM and Adobe?
- No. While we specialize in enterprise AEM consulting, our small-business IT practice is tool-agnostic — Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, QuickBooks, custom web apps, and lightweight integrations are all in scope.
- Is this a managed IT MSP contract?
- Not in the traditional sense. We offer project-based work and flexible on-demand support — you pay for outcomes, not a per-seat helpdesk contract you may not need.
- Can you build custom websites and HR tools for a small team?
- Yes. We build business websites, employee onboarding portals, PTO trackers, and staff directories tailored to your policies and approval flow — scoped for teams of 5–50, not enterprise HRIS pricing.
- Can you build custom software for a 10-person company?
- Yes. We scope applications to the problem — a focused internal tool, HR portal, or customer website can be delivered faster and cheaper than forcing a generic SaaS product to fit.
- What does a typical engagement cost?
- Small fixes and setup projects often start in the low thousands. Custom applications are quoted after a written assessment so you know scope and price before work begins.
