reliable, on-call IT support to keep your office systems running smoothly, so you can focus on your actual job.

Business IT Support in Lewes: the Local Picture

Independent shops and tradespeople in Lewes often run on word-of-mouth and personal reputation. But your computers, Wi-Fi, and email need to be rock-solid, especially when you're managing a business solo or with a small team. I provide IT retainer support for Lewes trades and local businesses: regular maintenance, automated backups, and on-site visits when you need them. You get a named tech person to call, not a support ticket. I'm close enough to visit, and I understand the independent business rhythm.

Questions I Hear a Lot

Is an IT retainer worth it for a small one-person business?

Absolutely. Solo businesses lose the most productive time to tech problems. A retainer means you have someone to call immediately when things go wrong, without the stress of sourcing an emergency repair service. For most Lewes traders, the cost saves far more time than it costs per month.

What response time can I expect?

Priority clients get a quick turnaround for anything that's stopping you working. Rather than publish a rigid SLA that doesn't fit every situation, I set clear expectations as part of the retainer: urgent issues get triaged first, and you'll always know where you stand.

Can I cancel if I don't need it?

Yes. Retainers are month-to-month with 30 days' notice. No long-term lock-in.

Do you support both Mac and Windows?

Yes. I've worked with both for over 25 years. Whatever mix of machines you've got in the office or the van, I can keep them running smoothly and talking to each other.

Can you help with network, Wi-Fi, and office tech beyond computers?

Yes: routers, printers, VoIP phones, cloud backups, shared drives, password managers. If it's business tech and it's misbehaving, I can sort it.

Investment

No fixed menus here: I price on what actually needs doing. The initial conversation is free and you'll get an honest quote, not a pitch.

How Many Leads Is Your Website Losing You?

Most trades websites quietly leak leads every week: slow load, buried phone number, missing local pages. Answer 10 quick questions and I'll show you exactly where yours is bleeding, how many enquiries it could be costing you each month, and the three fixes that would make the biggest difference.
