SUPPORT READINESS CHECKLIST

Before You Send the Request, Gather the Right Details

Clear information helps us diagnose faster, route better and avoid wasting time on unnecessary back-and-forth. Use this checklist before sending support requests, project enquiries or technical issues.

Faster Support
01

What We Need From You

A good request should explain what broke, what changed, what system is affected, who is impacted, and how urgent the issue is. Screenshots, links and error messages help a lot.

Error Message or screenshot
Device PC, laptop, website or email
Urgency Low, medium, high, critical
Access Remote-ready where possible
02

Remote Support Requirements

The device must be powered on, connected to the internet and available for approved remote support. If it is offline or physically damaged, local hands may be needed.

03

Project Requests

For websites, e-commerce, SEO, hosting or email projects, include the business goal, current website link, deadline, budget range and what outcome you want.

04

For Website Issues

Include the page URL, what should happen, what is happening instead, browser used, screenshot and whether the issue happens on desktop, mobile or both.

05

For Email Issues

Include the mailbox address, device type, email app, error message, whether sending or receiving is affected, and when the issue started.

06

For IT Support

Include the computer name, operating system, affected user, issue description, screenshots and whether remote access is possible.

07

For Retainers

Tell us how many users, devices, websites, mailboxes and support hours you expect monthly so we can recommend the right support level.

Cleaner Details Mean Cleaner Support.

Send the right information upfront and we can move faster: diagnose, quote, schedule, remote in, escalate or recommend the correct solution path.

RESPONSE EXPECTATIONS & AVAILABILITY

Clear Support Expectations Help Everyone Move Faster

Support works best when requests are routed clearly, expectations are realistic and urgent work is separated from normal project or maintenance communication.
