Straight answers, no sales pitch
These are the questions we get asked most. The answers are written to be genuinely useful on their own, including the parts that are not in our commercial interest.
Most "how much does a website cost" articles publish a range they invented to rank for the phrase. Defined services have published prices. Migrations, complex repairs, and ongoing IT support are quoted based on scope. You approve the price before work begins. A website is quoted the same way, because an honest number requires knowing what you actually need, and a made-up range is worse than no range.
What we can do is explain the factors that drive the number so you can read any quote, including ours, and understand what you are looking at.
Free email and DNS checkers
All of them are listed on our free IT tools page. Check whether your business email is set up right, explained in plain English: the email and DNS checker covers mail servers, SPF, DMARC and every common record, or go straight to the SPF checker or the DMARC checker. To see what happened to one message, paste its headers into the email header analyzer; it runs in your browser.

Why these are free and unhedged
Every checklist here is one you could work through yourself. That is deliberate. A business owner who understands what maintenance involves is a better client than one who has been told to trust the process, and if you work through the launch checklist yourself and never call us, the checklist still did its job.
The one thing we will not do is publish invented numbers to make a page rank. If you find pricing figures on a page like this elsewhere, ask where they came from.
