Software Setup & Configuration
Get the software installed, configured, and actually working — without the frustration.
You bought the tool. Getting it installed, configured the way your business actually works, and handed over with plain-language instructions is a different problem. We solve that part.
The problem
Setup documentation is written for developers. You're not one, and your time is worth more than this.
Most software setup guides assume the reader knows what a server is, what a database connection string looks like, and what to do when an error message appears. If that's not you, those guides are useless. You've spent two hours following instructions that don't match your screen. You've Googled error messages and found Stack Overflow threads from 2018. Your time costs more than the price of having someone do this right. We install it, configure it for your specific situation, test it, and hand it over with documentation that tells you — in plain language — how to use and maintain it. Fixed price. Known timeline. Done.
What you get
What a completed software setup looks like
The software running correctly in your environment, configured to your specific needs, with documentation you can actually follow.
- The software installed, configured, and tested — running correctly on your server or hosting environment.
- Configuration matched to your specific needs, not the defaults that the documentation describes.
- A plain-language handover document covering what was installed, how it's configured, and what you need to do for basic ongoing maintenance.
- Access credentials organised and delivered securely — you own everything; we hold nothing.
Who this is for
Is this right for you?
You have a piece of software you need to get running and you're stuck — either at the installation stage, the configuration stage, or because it's installed but not working the way you need. Common situations: WordPress with WooCommerce or multisite not configuring correctly, a server application that won't install cleanly on your VPS, an email delivery service that isn't sending, a self-hosted application that needs installing from scratch. Works on: shared hosting, VPS (Linux), local development environments, and most SaaS platforms.

“I'd been trying to get a self-hosted analytics tool working on our VPS for two weeks. Followed every guide I could find. Pinnacle had it running and configured within a day. The handover document they sent actually explains what they did and why, which saved me from breaking it the next time I needed to change something.”
