We build the websites too.

Same people who run your network can build and host the site that sits on it. Fast, hand-built, no page-builder bloat — and one number to phone when something needs changing.

The bit that stops everyone

You don’t have to write a word of it.

Most website builds die in the same place — nobody has the time to sit down and write the content. So we don’t ask you to. You tick your way through a short questionnaire — mostly yes, no and maybe — send it back, and we turn your answers into a finished site.

  1. 01 We send you the form One file. Opens in any browser. No software, no login, no account.
  2. 02 You tick the boxes About ten minutes. Yes, no, maybe — with room to add detail wherever you want to.
  3. 03 Send it back That is your part finished. Nothing else needed from you until approval.
  4. 04 We write and build it Your answers become the words, the sections and the structure of the site.

Businesses sit on a half-finished website for years waiting to “get the content together”. This is how that ends in an afternoon.

How the work gets done

The backbone, and everything hanging off it.

Cabling · Infrastructure

Reliable cabling

Your cabling is the backbone of the whole network. If it is rushed, everything above it inherits the problem — so we design, install and maintain it properly.

Cabinet layout, termination, patching, cable management and labelling are all done to standard. Copper, fibre or LTE, we will spec what the site actually needs.

Software · Helpdesk

Technical & software support

Log a job through the helpdesk online or over WhatsApp. Anything that can be resolved over the internet, we handle countrywide — no call-out required.

Email hosting and mailbox setup, software installs and upgrades, Windows, Microsoft 365, internet security, printer faults and the rest.

Hardware · Workshop

Hardware support & maintenance

Upgrades and repairs to desktops and laptops, either on site or brought back to our workshop, whichever gets you running again faster.

Also on the books

Four things clients keep coming back for.

CONTROLLER ALL APs HEALTHY

Don't struggle with untested mesh kits that keep failing.

We design, install and manage the Wi-Fi network itself — access points and controllers sized and placed for your premises, monitored and kept up to date so your team and clients get fast, reliable coverage throughout the building. No dead spots, no dropped connections, no downtime.

  • Top-end Wi-Fi with managed controllers and regular updates
  • Coverage designed for the building, not guessed at
  • Never worry about slow Wi-Fi or coverage issues again

Who you are calling

Nineteen years of fixing other people's networks.

IT Tech Expert was founded in 2007. Businesses of every size kept running into the same wall — networks that were never configured properly in the first place — so we specialised in configuration, setup, analysis and troubleshooting for private clients and small business.

That has since widened into looking after a company's technology as a whole. We do whatever it takes to resolve the problem.

  • 2007Andrie van Zyl founds the business, specialising in network configuration and troubleshooting.
  • 2017Well established. Services broaden — qualifying as a Microsoft CSP and building out managed service provider systems.
  • TodayOver five hundred businesses supported across a range of industries, remotely and on site.
