Email Infrastructure & Deliverability
PowerMTA is a high-performance mail transfer agent used by serious senders handling 100K+ emails per month. If you're running bulk email campaigns, transactional sends, or cold outreach at volume — a properly configured PowerMTA server will give you full control over deliverability, bounce handling, and IP reputation that shared SMTP providers simply can't match.
Usually one or more of these: missing or misaligned SPF/DKIM/DMARC records, a blacklisted sending IP, poor list hygiene (high bounce rate), sending from a new unwarmed IP, or content-level spam triggers. Our deliverability audit covers all of these and delivers a prioritized remediation roadmap.
Typically 4–8 weeks depending on your target daily volume. A structured warm-up starts with small sends to your most engaged contacts and scales gradually as positive engagement signals build your IP reputation with major mailbox providers. Rushing this process is the most common cause of deliverability failures on new infrastructure.
Yes — we start with a full audit of your current DNS authentication, IP reputation, blocklist status, and list hygiene. Most deliverability problems have identifiable root causes and clear fixes. We've recovered inbox placement from under 20% to over 90% for clients with the right remediation plan in place.
Web Development
No — we work across WordPress/Elementor, Next.js, Firebase, and custom HTML/CSS stacks. WordPress is our most common platform for business sites and blogs, but for LMS platforms, SaaS MVPs, and performance-critical applications we use Next.js and Firebase. We recommend the right tool for your specific use case, not the one we're most comfortable with.
Yes — we handle full platform migrations including content, DNS, SSL, and 301 redirects. We've migrated sites from Squarespace, Wix, legacy WordPress installs, and custom HTML to modern stacks with zero data loss and no downtime during the cutover.
A standard WordPress build takes 5–10 business days depending on page count and complexity. Platform migrations typically take 2–3 days. Custom Next.js applications are scoped individually — timelines are agreed before work begins and included in the fixed-price quote.
Automation & AI Workflows
n8n is a self-hosted workflow automation platform — you own the installation, the data, and the infrastructure. Unlike Zapier or Make, there are no per-task charges, no data leaving your servers, and no vendor price increases. For agencies and businesses running high-volume automation, the cost savings alone justify the switch within months.
Server provisioning automation, CRM-to-email triggers, API integrations between any two systems with a REST API, Telegram bot workflows, Google Drive reporting, AI-assisted document generation, chatbot flows, and scheduled data processing jobs. If it has an API endpoint or webhook, we can automate it.
No. Every workflow we deliver comes with full documentation — a node-by-node explanation of what fires, what it does, and how to modify it. We also include a testing checklist and a 30-day support window so you can ask questions after handoff without additional charges.
Server & Security
Ubuntu, AlmaLinux, Debian, and CentOS — across aaPanel, Webmin, Plesk, and bare nginx/Apache setups. We recommend AlmaLinux or Ubuntu LTS for new deployments as they have the best long-term support and security update cadences.
Full open port audit and closure of unnecessary services, UFW or CSF firewall configuration, SSH key-based authentication enforcement with password auth disabled, fail2ban setup with custom jail rules, automated daily backups to remote S3-compatible storage, and a written hardening report documenting every change made.
Yes — monthly management retainers include weekly automated reports covering uptime, disk usage, failed login attempts, and patch status. Incident response is included in all retainer plans — if something breaks, we're already watching the alerts before you notice.
Pricing & Payment
All projects are quoted on a fixed-price basis after a free scoping consultation — no hourly billing, no scope creep surprises. You know exactly what you're paying before work begins. Ongoing retainers (monitoring, maintenance, support) are priced as monthly flat fees.
We accept payments via Fiverr (for projects sourced there), PayPal, Wise, and direct bank transfer for larger engagements. Invoices are issued via Etechinvest LLC with payment terms agreed per project.
For new clients, we typically work on a 50% deposit before work begins with the balance due on delivery. For longer engagements, milestone-based payment schedules are available. Returning clients with a track record may arrange different terms.
No. The price agreed in the scope document is the price you pay. If a project expands beyond the original scope, we notify you and agree on additional compensation before doing the extra work — never after.
Support & Process
Book a free 30-minute consultation via our contact page. We'll review your current setup, understand your goals, and tell you exactly what we can deliver — before you commit to anything. No sales pitch, just a technical conversation.
Every project includes 30 days of post-launch support at no extra charge. During this period we answer questions, fix any issues that arise, and ensure the delivered system is working as expected in production. After 30 days, monthly support retainers are available.
Yes — we sign NDAs on request before any sensitive information is shared. All client data and project details are treated as confidential by default regardless of whether a formal NDA is in place.
Yes — we frequently work alongside in-house developers, agencies, and other freelancers. We document everything we build to professional standards so handoffs to other team members are clean and complete.
