> Technology services for small and medium businesses in Central Texas

Embercrest provides business internet, web development, email, phone systems, networking, automation and technology advice to businesses across Central Texas.

## What we do

- [Business internet](https://embercrest.io/services/business-internet.md): Business broadband, fiber and dedicated internet compared by carrier at your address, ordered and installed for you, with a cellular or satellite backup that takes over on its own when the line goes down.
- [Web design and development](https://embercrest.io/services/web-development.md): Websites and web apps for small and medium businesses: online stores, customer portals and custom applications, built by hand, hosted and maintained by us.
- [Business email](https://embercrest.io/services/business-email.md): Business email on your own domain: Microsoft 365, Google Workspace or Proton, set up right and managed.
- [AI and automation](https://embercrest.io/services/ai-automation.md): Practical AI and automation for small and medium businesses, used where it genuinely helps and left out where it does not.
- [Business phone systems](https://embercrest.io/services/business-telephony.md): Cloud phone systems for small and medium businesses: keep your numbers, route every call to the right person and answer from anywhere.
- [Business networking and Wi-Fi](https://embercrest.io/services/business-networking.md): Wireless and wired networks for offices, shops and clinics: surveyed, designed and installed to be fast, secure and easy to manage, with backups and recovery planned in.
- [Business TV](https://embercrest.io/services/business-tv.md): TV for bars, restaurants, waiting rooms and offices, compared at your address, ordered and set up for you, and supported for as long as you have it.
- [Technology consulting](https://embercrest.io/services/technology-consulting.md): Straight technology advice for growing businesses: clear roadmaps, honest vendor advice, practical security, and a backup and recovery plan, without hiring a full-time CTO.
- [Enterprise contracting](https://embercrest.io/services/enterprise-contracting.md): We can work on contract to medium and large companies on a corp-to-corp basis: software, infrastructure, SRE and DevOps engineering, CI/CD and network automation, with each engagement set out in a statement of work.

## Guides

- [New business technology checklist](https://embercrest.io/guides/starting-a-business.md): Eight steps in the order that lead times and dependencies demand, with the reason behind each one. Internet first, because it is the slowest. Then the domain, email, the network, phones, the website and the rest. Do them yourself with this plan, or hand any of them to us.
