How we work / Scope before software
No oversized bundle and no mystery handover. We agree on the accounts, people, deliverables, costs, and checks before anything changes.
Where to begin
These are starting points, not fixed-price packages. We review what you have today before confirming the work.
01 / Starting fresh
Professional email on your domain, Microsoft 365 accounts for your team, and everything working on computers and phones.
02 / Moving across
Bring email, calendars, contacts, and files from Gmail, an old host, or a shared drive, with a planned switch-over.
03 / Getting online
A clear website on your own domain, with a contact form, search listings, and a way for you to make updates.
Already set up? Reporting and automation projects start with one report or one process. Reporting & automation
Costs & ownership
The proposal separates each cost so you know what you are paying for and who owns it.
Planning, setup, moving your data, testing, and handover. Price and timing follow a short review of what you have.
Microsoft 365 licences, your domain, website hosting, and other provider fees are billed to your business directly. We review what you already pay for first. Registered charities and nonprofits may qualify for Microsoft’s nonprofit offers.
New staff accounts, website updates, report refreshes, or future changes, agreed separately with a response window.
Microsoft 365 plans differ in which apps and storage each person gets. Check the current Microsoft 365 business plans when agreeing on a project. Power BI sharing and Power Automate licensing are reviewed separately if those are in scope.
Acceptance & handover
The checks should match the project. Nothing switches over until it works the way we agreed.
Every mailbox sends and receives, and domain records pass.
Mail, calendars, contacts, and files counted before and after.
Staff can sign in on their computers and phones.
Admin logins in your name, instructions, and a walkthrough.
Common questions
The questions small businesses ask most before a move.
The plan is to avoid it. Old mail, calendars, and contacts are copied first, the switch-over is scheduled for a quiet time, and the old account stays open until we have checked that everything arrived. A few messages sent during the switch can take some hours to route, and we plan around that.
Usually, yes. If your business owns the domain, we point it at the new service. If someone else registered it, we help you move it into your business’s name first.
Both work well for email. Microsoft 365 is the better fit if your team relies on Word, Excel, Outlook, or Teams, or you plan to use SharePoint or Power BI. We choose together based on how you work.
Not necessarily. We review what you already pay for and which staff need which apps, then recommend the smallest plan that fits. Microsoft fees are billed to your business and are separate from my quote.
They may. Microsoft offers discounted and donated plans to eligible nonprofits with recognized legal status and a community-benefit mission. Microsoft decides eligibility, so I help you check the current requirements and apply before we choose a plan.
Your business. Admin accounts, the domain, and hosting are set up in your business’s name, and you receive the logins. Please do not send passwords through the public enquiry form.
Some are. Saint Philip Neri Parish is a real website in progress. The sample business websites and reporting examples use fictional organizations and data, and are labelled as samples.
Yes, if you would like. New staff accounts, website updates, and small changes can be agreed separately with a response window. Larger new features may need their own project.
It depends on how many people, mailboxes, and files are involved. We confirm timing after a short review of what you have, rather than promising the same timeline for every project.
About the studio
Independent studio / Toronto
Rhoguns Studio is an independent small business technology studio in Toronto. You work directly with me from discovery through handover.
I help small businesses set up the technology they run on: email, Microsoft 365, websites, and the reporting that comes after. My focus is a careful setup, clear checks, and a handover your team can use.
The examples show the work and its current boundaries. We will agree on what your project needs before making implementation commitments.
