Services

Everything that keeps a business running.

The computers, the network, the email, the website, and the support in between. One local team handles all of it.

How we work

IT consulting, in plain terms.

We act as your part-time IT department. You call one number for the computers, the network, the email, and the website, and we keep those pieces working together.

Remote-first. Most fixes happen over a secure remote session, scheduled around your day. On-site visits are scheduled when the work needs hands on hardware.

Plain pricing. We scope the work with you and agree on a price before anything starts. No surprises after.

Websites included. We still design, build, host, and manage websites. One service among several now, not the whole menu.

The menu

Tell us what's on your plate.

Every job starts with a conversation. We scope the work with you, agree on a price together, and stick to it.

Not sure which bucket your problem fits? That's fine, that's our job. Reach out and we'll point you the right way, no commitment.

Computer & network support

IT & systems

Hands-on help when something breaks or needs setting up: workstations, networks and Wi-Fi, printers, software configuration, and account or access issues. Most fixes happen over a secure remote session, and on-site visits are scheduled when the work needs hands on hardware.

Business email setup

IT & systems

Professional email on your own domain, set up right. We recommend the platform that fits your business, commonly Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, then handle accounts, devices, domains, and the SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records that keep your mail out of spam.

Contact us

Hardware & workstations

IT & systems

Buying the right equipment without overpaying, then setting it up: new computers and workstations, upgrades, printers, monitors, and peripherals, configured and ready to work.

Contact us

Data, backups & migrations

IT & systems

Moving data between platforms, setting up reliable backups, recovering files, and getting content off an old system cleanly onto a new one.

Web-based application

Custom software

Client portals, dashboards, booking systems, and internal tools built around the way your business actually operates. Built on Cloudflare Workers, the same platform behind our hosting, with user accounts and data-backed workflows served fast from the edge.

Priced per project once the workflow, data, and integrations are defined.

AI-integrated application

Custom software

Document search, intake and form processing, summarization, drafting help, and custom tools that work with the information your business already has. AI built into the workflow rather than bolted on.

Scoped per project; model and usage costs billed separately. Sometimes the right answer is AI, sometimes it's simpler automation. We recommend whichever fits the problem.

Contact us

Automation & integrations

IT & systems

Connecting the tools you already use: forms to spreadsheets, payments to invoices, bookings to calendars, plus small scripts that take repetitive work off your plate.

Ongoing help

The monthly side: website, email, and IT.

Three ways we stay on the job. Start with the one you need now and add the others whenever it makes sense.

$20 +/mo
Website hosting & management

Your website hosted, protected, watched, and kept up to date, so you never have to think about it.

Start the conversation
✓Cloudflare hosting, CDN & SSL
✓DDoS, bot & spam protection
✓Backups & uptime monitoring
✓Direct support by email, call, or text
✓Website changes made for you
$50 /mo
Business email management

Professional email on a domain we manage, handled end to end: accounts, devices, and deliverability.

Set up my email
✓Up to 5 email users included
✓Each additional user +$5/mo
✓On the platform that fits your business
✓SPF, DKIM & DMARC kept healthy
✓User adds & removals handled

On hosting and management, the monthly rate starts at $20 and scales with how often we're making changes to the site. Frequent change requests can raise it, and we'll always agree on the number with you first. Prefer an outside host? We can work with that for a coordination fee.

Doesn't fit a plan? We'll build one.

Multiple locations, several sites, a mix of email, network, and website help, or something we haven't listed. We scope what you actually need and agree on a flat rate together before anything starts.

And you're not managing any of it. One team, one bill, one place to go when something needs to change.

Your IT partner

You don't have to be the IT person.

Every small business has one: the person who ends up fixing the printer, resetting passwords, and calling the internet company on top of their actual job. That's the job we take off your plate.

Cortex is for the owner who would rather run the business. We keep the computers, network, email, and website working, and we're the one call when something isn't.

One team for all of it. Computers, network, email, and website, handled together instead of split across vendors.

Remote-first support. Most issues are fixed remotely over a secure session. When the fix needs hands on hardware, we schedule an on-site visit.

Plain answers. What broke, what we did, and what it costs, explained without the jargon.

Room to grow. When you're ready for a portal, an automation, or an integration, it's the same team and the same system.
