IT Support services that help your operate more efficiently

Most businesses treat their website, their IT setup, and their marketing tools as three separate concerns managed by three separate people. In practice, they are one system. When any part of that system is misconfigured, the rest underperforms — and the impact is often invisible until it becomes a real problem.

Consider how many of your critical business tools connect directly to your website and online presence. Your Google Workspace account controls access to Google Search Console, Google Analytics, and Google Ads. If your Workspace environment is not correctly configured, your team may be locked out of the very data that tells you whether your website is performing, where your traffic is coming from, and whether your ad spend is generating returns. A missed DNS record, an incorrectly assigned user permission, or a misconfigured MX entry does not just break email — it can sever the connection between your business and the platforms measuring its digital performance.

Microsoft 365 environments carry the same risk. Teams, shared mailboxes, and OneDrive are increasingly used to manage client communication, proposals, and project files. When these are not set up correctly — when SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records are absent or incorrect — your outbound emails land in spam folders. A potential client who requested a quote through your website never receives your response. That is not a marketing failure. That is an IT failure with a direct commercial cost.

The same applies to the tools your website feeds into. Calendar booking widgets, contact forms, and CRM integrations rely on authenticated connections between your website and your back-end software. Zoho CRM, QuickBooks, Sage, and Google Calendar integrations all depend on correctly provisioned accounts, stable DNS, and properly maintained API credentials. A workstation that has not been updated, a user account that has not been correctly migrated, or an SSL certificate that has lapsed can break these connections entirely — often without any visible error on the front end.

At New Perspective Design, we manage IT support and business technology as part of the same service offering as website design, Google Ads management, and SEO. This means when we configure your Microsoft 365 environment or set up your Google Workspace account, we do it with your website, your CRM, and your marketing infrastructure in mind. Your DNS records are set correctly for email deliverability and domain verification across Google Search Console and Meta Business Suite. Your user accounts are structured so the right people have access to Analytics, Ads, and Search Console from day one. Your devices are configured to support the software your business actually runs on.

For businesses in East London and across South Africa, this connected approach eliminates the gaps that appear when IT, web, and marketing are handled in isolation. One provider, one point of accountability, one setup that works as a complete system.

We build robust API connections and webhook automated pipelines using tools like Zapier and Make to connect your website directly to your back-end operational software. We seamlessly bridge the gap between frontend digital assets and essential platforms like Zoho CRM, QuickBooks, Xero, and Sage accounting.

Whether it is instantly routing a website contact form into your CRM as an actionable lead, syncing e-commerce inventory with your financial books, or linking automated booking calendars, we automate the repetitive processes that limit your daily scalability.

    DNS Hardening, Domain Security & Email Deliverability

    If your daily client quotes, proposals, or invoices are missing or landing directly in client spam folders, you are suffering from a critical DNS misconfiguration.

    We audit your domain registry settings and harden your DNS records (A, MX, CNAME, TXT) to establish maximum domain authority and ensure persistent website uptime. By implementing strict SPF (Sender Policy Framework), DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail), and DMARC authentication, we verify your identity to global mail servers.

    This prevents email spoofing, keeps your domain off global blacklists, and ensures your critical business communications reach their destination.

      IT Support FAQ

      Getting Started

      What IT support services does New Perspective Design offer?

      We offer a broad range of IT support services for small and medium-sized businesses, including Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace setup and management, remote and on-site technical support, business software integrations, DNS management, domain administration, and professional email setup.

      Our goal is to act as your outsourced IT department — handling the technical side of your business so you can focus on running it.

      How do I get started with your IT support?

      Simply get in touch with us via our contact page or give us a call. We will schedule a consultation to understand your current setup, identify any gaps or risks, and recommend the right services for your business.

      From there we provide a clear scope and quote before any work begins.

      Do you work with small businesses or only larger companies?

      We work primarily with small and medium-sized businesses. Many of our clients are owner-managed businesses that do not have a dedicated in-house IT person — which is exactly the gap we fill.

      Whether you have one employee or fifty, we can tailor a support arrangement that suits your size and budget.

      Do you offer once-off support or only ongoing contracts?

      Both. We handle once-off tasks such as setting up a new Microsoft 365 account, migrating email, or configuring a business system integration.

      We also offer ongoing support retainers for businesses that need regular IT assistance, monitoring, and a reliable point of contact when things go wrong.

      Remote & On-Site Support

      What is the difference between remote and on-site support?

      Remote support is handled via a secure remote desktop connection, allowing us to access and resolve issues on your computer or server without needing to be physically present. This is the fastest and most cost-effective option for most software-related problems.

      On-site support involves one of our team members visiting your premises to handle issues that cannot be resolved remotely, such as hardware faults, network cabling, printer setup, or new device configuration.

      How quickly can you respond to a support request?

      Remote support requests are typically responded to within a few hours during business hours. For clients on a support retainer, priority response times apply.

      On-site visits are scheduled based on availability and urgency, and are generally booked within one to two business days.

      For critical issues affecting your ability to operate, please contact us directly by phone to ensure the fastest possible response.

      Is my data safe when you connect remotely to my computer?

      Yes. We use reputable, encrypted remote access tools and only connect with your explicit permission. You can see everything we do on your screen in real time, and the session ends the moment you close it.

      We do not store your credentials or retain access to your systems after a session is complete.

      What areas do you cover for on-site support?

      We are based in East London, Eastern Cape, and primarily serve businesses in the surrounding areas for on-site visits.

      For clients in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Pretoria, and Durban, most support is handled remotely. Where on-site visits are required in these areas, this can be arranged and quoted separately.

      What types of issues can you resolve remotely?

      The majority of day-to-day IT issues can be resolved remotely, including:

      • Email configuration and troubleshooting
      • Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace account issues
      • Software installation and updates
      • User account creation and access management
      • Business software configuration and troubleshooting
      • DNS and domain settings
      • Slow performance and general system issues

      Microsoft 365 & Google Workspace

      Can you set up Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace for my business?

      Yes. We handle the full setup process, including account creation, domain verification, DNS record configuration, user provisioning, and email migration where required.

      We can also configure shared mailboxes, distribution groups, calendars, and collaboration tools like Teams or Google Meet, depending on your platform of choice.

      Which platform is better for my business — Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace?

      Both platforms are excellent. The right choice depends on your existing tools, team size, and how your business works day to day.

      • Microsoft 365 is generally better suited to businesses already using Windows devices, Word, Excel, and Outlook, or those that require desktop-installed Office applications.
      • Google Workspace works well for businesses that prefer browser-based tools, real-time collaboration, and a simpler admin environment.

      We are happy to advise on which platform is the best fit based on your specific situation during a consultation.

      Can you migrate our existing emails to Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace?

      Yes. We can migrate your existing email history, contacts, and calendar data to your new platform. This is done carefully to minimise downtime and ensure no emails are lost during the transition.

      Migration complexity depends on your current email provider and the volume of data involved. We will assess this during the scoping process and advise accordingly.

      Can you add or remove users and manage licences on our behalf?

      Yes. We can manage your user accounts on an ongoing basis — adding new staff members, removing departed employees, adjusting access levels, and ensuring you are not paying for unused licences.

      Do you assist with Microsoft Teams or Google Meet setup?

      Yes. We can configure your team collaboration tools, set up channels or shared spaces, and ensure your staff are able to use video conferencing, file sharing, and messaging effectively within your chosen platform.

      DNS, Domains & Email Setup

      What is DNS and why does it matter for my business?

      DNS (Domain Name System) is the infrastructure that connects your domain name to your website, email, and other online services. Incorrect DNS settings can result in your website going offline, emails not being delivered, or services failing to connect.

      Proper DNS configuration is one of the most important — and most commonly neglected — parts of a business's digital setup.

      Can you set up professional email addresses on our domain?

      Yes. We set up professional domain-based email addresses such as [email protected] or [email protected], connected to your hosting environment, Microsoft 365, or Google Workspace.

      We also configure the necessary DNS records — including MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC — to ensure your emails are delivered reliably and are less likely to land in spam.

      My emails are going to spam — can you fix this?

      In most cases, yes. Emails landing in spam are usually caused by missing or incorrect DNS authentication records — specifically SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. These records tell receiving mail servers that your emails are legitimate and authorised to send from your domain.

      We audit your current DNS setup, identify what is missing, and configure the correct records to improve deliverability.

      While we can resolve the most common causes, email deliverability is also influenced by the reputation of your sending IP and the content of your emails, which are factors outside of DNS alone.

      Can you assist with domain registration and renewals?

      Yes. We can assist with registering new domains, transferring existing domains, and ensuring your renewals are managed correctly so you do not accidentally lose a domain that is critical to your business.

      Losing a domain through a missed renewal can have serious consequences for your website, email, and brand. We recommend keeping domain management centralised and monitored.

      Can you help us move our domain or email to a different provider?

      Yes. We handle domain transfers and email platform migrations, taking care of the DNS changes, record updates, and testing required to ensure continuity throughout the move.

      We aim to complete migrations with zero email downtime wherever possible.

      Business Software Integrations

      Which business software platforms can you integrate?

      We have hands-on experience integrating a wide range of business tools, including:

      • Zoho CRM and the broader Zoho suite
      • QuickBooks and Xero for accounting
      • Sage accounting and payroll platforms
      • Zapier and Make (formerly Integromat) for workflow automation
      • Google Workspace tools including Sheets, Forms, and Calendar
      • WooCommerce and Shopify for e-commerce

      If you are using a platform not listed here, get in touch — we can assess compatibility and advise on the best approach.

      Can you connect our website to our CRM or accounting software?

      Yes. We build integrations between your WordPress website and platforms such as Zoho CRM, QuickBooks, and Xero using APIs and webhook connections.

      A common example is routing contact form submissions directly into your CRM as leads, or syncing customer data between your website and your accounting system automatically.

      Can you automate repetitive tasks between our business tools?

      Yes. Using platforms like Zapier and Make, we can build automated workflows that eliminate manual data entry and keep your systems in sync.

      Examples include automatically creating a Zoho CRM lead when a form is submitted, sending a notification to a Slack channel when a new order comes in, or syncing invoice data between your e-commerce store and your accounting software.

      Do you assist with Zoho CRM setup and configuration?

      Yes. We assist with Zoho CRM setup, custom field configuration, pipeline setup, user management, and integration with your website and other business tools.

      We also have experience with Zoho Creator for building custom internal applications and forms tailored to specific business workflows.

      What is the benefit of integrating our business software?

      Integrated systems reduce manual work, minimise human error, and give you a clearer, more connected view of your business data. When your CRM, accounting software, and website are working together, your team spends less time on admin and more time on work that matters.

      Even simple automations — like routing leads from your website directly into your CRM — can save hours of manual entry every week.

      Costs & Support Agreements

      How is IT support charged — hourly or on a retainer?

      We offer both options. Once-off tasks and smaller projects are charged at an hourly or project rate. Businesses that require regular support benefit from a monthly retainer, which provides priority response, a set number of support hours, and a predictable monthly cost.

      We will recommend the most cost-effective arrangement based on the volume and nature of support you require.

      Are there hidden costs to be aware of?

      No. We quote clearly before any work begins. If a task is likely to require third-party software licences or platform subscription costs — such as Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or Zapier — we will advise you of these upfront so there are no surprises.

      Do I need a long-term contract to use your IT support?

      No. Once-off support tasks require no ongoing commitment. For retainer arrangements, we typically work on a monthly basis with a short notice period, giving you flexibility without locking you into a lengthy contract.

      Can you manage both our IT support and our website under one agreement?

      Yes. Many of our clients combine website hosting and maintenance with IT support under a single monthly arrangement. This simplifies your supplier management and ensures that your website and business technology are handled by one team that understands your full setup.
