Weaver, Alabama

Web design & IT services in Weaver, AL.

Weaver sits on Highway 21 between Anniston and Jacksonville. A small office here often has a web person, a computer person and a software subscription that have never spoken to each other. This page explains where that goes wrong and how to fix it.

Quick answer

Is it better to use one company for a website, CRM and IT?

For a small office it usually is, because the three depend on each other: the domain name controls both the website and email, website forms feed the CRM, and the same computers run all of it. One provider means one party is responsible when something breaks. Whoever you use, keep the key accounts in your own name.

Where three vendors collide

The gaps between the people you pay.

Each vendor does their own part well enough. The trouble sits in the places where their work overlaps.

  1. 01

    The domain name controls two things

    Your web address and your email both depend on records held at one place. A web designer who moves the site can break email for the whole office without knowing it, and the IT person may not have the login to fix it.

  2. 02

    Website forms that go nowhere

    A form that emails one inbox works until that person is out or the message lands in junk. Requests should arrive somewhere the whole office can see, with the page they came from.

  3. 03

    Nobody owns the handoffs

    When email from the website stops arriving, the web vendor blames email and the email vendor blames the website. With one provider there is no second party to point at.

  4. 04

    Renewals nobody is watching

    Domain names, security certificates and software licenses all expire. Each one that lapses takes something offline, usually on a weekend.

Own these yourself

Five accounts that belong in the owner’s name.

A provider should have access to these to do the work. The business should be the owner. That one distinction prevents most hostage situations.

Accounts

  • Domain registrar: where your web address is registered and renewed
  • DNS: the records that point the web address at your site and email
  • Email administrator: the top-level login for Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace
  • Website hosting: where the site files and backups live
  • Google Business Profile: the map listing customers see

For each one, know

  • Which email address is the owner of record
  • Where the password and second sign-in step are kept
  • When it renews and which card pays for it
  • Who else has access, and why

Questions for any provider

  • Will these accounts be in my name or yours?
  • If I leave, what do I take with me and in what form?
  • Who do I call, and during what hours?
  • What is the monthly price, and what is billed extra?

How it works from Oxford

Close enough to show up.

Between two of the towns we already work in every week.

  1. 01

    Most fixes happen remotely

    Managed IT includes unlimited remote help by phone and email, so a locked account or a printer that will not print is usually handled while you are still on the phone.

  2. 02

    On site when it takes hands

    We are based in Oxford, about 15 minutes from Weaver. Managed IT includes quarterly on-site visits, and we schedule a visit whenever something needs a person in the room.

  3. 03

    A website starts with a preview

    We build a working preview of your new site from your public information and text you the link. You approve every word before anything goes live, and your web address stays in your name.

  4. 04

    One number for all of it

    Call or text 256-624-7313. Support requests are handled Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm Central. Managed IT clients also get 24/7 monitoring and after-hours emergency support.

Questions

Weaver questions, plainly answered.

Do you serve Weaver?

Yes. We are based in Oxford, about 15 minutes from Weaver, and serve businesses along Highway 21 from Anniston to Jacksonville.

Do I have to buy all three from you?

No. A website, the CRM and managed IT are sold separately, and each stands alone. They work together when you have more than one: a request from the website lands in the CRM, and the same team keeps the office running.

What does each one cost?

Websites are $2,495 (Standard) or $3,995 (Pro), with Care at $149 a month. The CRM is $149 a month for up to 5 users, sold separately. Managed IT is $175 per user, per month with a 5-user minimum.

Who owns my domain name if you build my site?

You do. Your web address stays registered in your name. We need access to do the work, and that is all.

I already have a CRM. Do I have to switch?

No. Many CRMs accept website forms by embed, tracking script or API. We check what your account allows before promising anything, and if it cannot connect, every request still arrives by email.

Is the CRM included with managed IT?

No. Managed IT includes the Operation Buildup platform’s help desk, onboarding and offboarding, invoices and approvals, and the Atlas assistant. The CRM is sold separately from $149 a month.
