IT for Canberra small businesses

Help with your
email and website.

I’m Blake. I help small businesses around Canberra make their email harder to fake, fix website problems and move to Microsoft 365.

Send me your website address and I’ll email you what I find.

Not a live scan. Real changes are made in stages.

What I can
help with

You might have a specific problem, or just want someone to check things over. Here’s the work I can help you with.

Make your email harder to impersonate

From A$290 for a simple setup

I set up the checks that help other mail services recognise email from your business and reject messages pretending to use your domain. I check your genuine senders first, then make changes in stages.

  • SPF, DKIM and DMARC setup
  • Staged rollout, usually over 4–6 weeks
  • A check that multi-factor sign-in is on
  • Optional monitoring from A$25/month

Website fixes

From A$190

If your site shows a security warning, won’t load or still has a placeholder page, I can find out what’s going on and help put it right.

Moving to Microsoft 365

From A$200 per mailbox Minimum A$400

I’ll bring your old mail across, set up your devices and configure email protection. You buy the Microsoft licences directly, so the subscription stays in your name.

Small business websites

From A$990 Up to 5 pages

A straightforward site that tells people what you do and makes it easy to get in touch, including on a phone. Static hosting is free, you own the domain, and ongoing care is optional from A$99/month.

Forms and small custom tools

Quoted per job For existing clients

If you keep doing the same task by hand, I can help simplify it. That might be a booking form, a small app to replace a spreadsheet, or a workflow in Microsoft 365.

What happens next

We can start by email. You don’t need to book a call or know the technical terms for what’s wrong.

  1. Send me your web address

    I’ll look at your public email records and website, then email you what I find. This first check is free and doesn’t need access to your accounts.

  2. I’ll send you a quote

    If there’s work to do, I’ll explain what I suggest and what it will cost. Nothing paid starts until you’ve agreed.

  3. I’ll do the work

    I’ll arrange any access with you, make changes in stages and check that things still work. I keep a record of the settings so changes can be reversed if needed.

  4. You’ll have a record

    I’ll send you a short summary of what I changed and anything to keep an eye on. Your accounts and domain stay under your control.

About Blake

I’m Blake, based in Canberra.

I ran IT for a Canberra real estate agency, including its move from web-host email to Microsoft 365.

Asterlin is my business, so when you get in touch, I’m the person you’ll deal with. If you’re unsure what needs doing, tell me what’s happening and we can work out where to start.

How I use AI

I use AI assistants to help prepare checks and write code. I review and approve every change, and I’ll ask you before putting any of your information into these tools.

A few common questions

What are SPF, DKIM and DMARC?

SPF lists the systems allowed to send email for your domain. DKIM adds a digital signature that receiving systems can check. DMARC tells them how to handle messages that fail the right checks, and can send reports about what they see.

Together, they help protect your exact domain from impersonation. They don’t stop every scam or lookalike address.

Could this disrupt my email?

Email settings need care: a change can affect genuine mail too. I check which services you send from, monitor the results and tighten protection gradually. I keep the previous settings so we can undo a change if needed.

Do I need to be technical?

No. Send me your website address and tell me what’s bothering you. I’ll explain what I find and walk you through any access I need later. Please don’t send passwords by email.

How much will it cost?

The first email and website check is free. The starting prices are for simple jobs; for email protection, that means one mail platform and one or two other senders. I’ll look at your setup and give you a fixed quote before you commit. You don’t have to take ongoing monitoring or care.

Do you come on site?

Most work is handled by email and remote sessions, so there’s usually no need for a visit or a call. Device setup for a Microsoft 365 move is arranged with you in advance.

What does ongoing care cover?

Website care starts at A$99/month for updates, backups, certificate and email monitoring, and 30 minutes of small edits each month. New pages and redesigns are quoted separately. I’ll confirm the coverage and monthly price in writing.

Send me your
website address.

I’ll check your public email records and have a look at your site. Then I’ll email you what I find and let you know if I think anything needs work.

Ask for a free check

The first check is free. There’s no obligation to book any work.

Your free check covers

  • Your email settings

    The public records that help other mail services tell whether email is really from your domain.

  • Your website certificate

    Whether visitors can connect without a security warning.

  • Your site on a phone

    Whether it loads and is easy to read and use on a small screen.

I don’t need passwords or access to your accounts for this check.
