AmesGate
Practical IT for Small Businesses
Modern, reliable tech for small businesses.
We help local teams get their technology under control — email, devices, Wi-Fi, websites, security, and backups. Plus all the random “why is this broken?” stuff that slows everyone down. That can mean cleaning up a messy Microsoft 365 tenant, untangling domains and DNS, stabilizing the network, locking down laptops and phones, setting up backups that actually work, or building simple checklists, training, and upgrade plans so things stay healthy. No gimicks, just clear, practical small-business IT from someone who actually builds and fixes this in the real world.

Ready for help?
Here’s how working with AmesGate usually goes:
1. Reach out. Send a quick email to info@amesgate.com with what’s broken or what you want to improve.
2. Short triage chat. We do a 15–20 minute conversation to understand your setup and what’s really going on.
3. Simple written plan. You get a short, plain-English plan with options and pricing so you can decide what to do next.
No pressure, no jargon — just a clear next step from “everything feels messy” to “we know what to fix first.”
