Web development and managed IT
You grow your business. We keep the lights on.
Your website, email, hosting and security, built properly and looked after every month by one engineer you can actually reach. You own all of it. You never have to think about it.
Security first
Zero Trust access, encryption at rest and in transit, patching on a published schedule.
Monitored around the clock
Every site we host is checked around the clock and alerts come straight to us. You hear about problems after they are fixed.
You own everything
Source code, accounts, domain and documentation stay in your name. No lock-in, ever.
Who we work with
Three kinds of client, one standard of work
Small businesses
Websites, booking and checkout systems, business email and hosting, kept running on a monthly plan so you never need an IT hire.
See servicesCreators
You have the audience. We give you the domain, the email that brand managers take seriously, and a real site, then keep it all running.
For creatorsGovernment and public agencies
Vendor data, capability statement, past performance and a named contact, on one page, for evaluators checking a bid.
Vendor information
Services
Architecture, not add-ons
Four things, done properly. Each one is scoped in writing, priced from a published rate sheet, and handed over with documentation.
Custom web applications
Portals, booking and checkout systems, internal tools and integrations, built on Google Cloud and Firebase and delivered with the source code.
- Fixed-scope builds
- Staging, testing, deploy pipeline
- Accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA)
Managed IT and infrastructure
Monthly agreements that cover monitoring, patching, backups, DNS, email and cloud cost control, so your systems stay current without a full-time hire.
- Published patch cadence
- Monthly reporting
- Named point of contact
Security and compliance
Zero Trust access, encryption at rest and in transit, least-privilege accounts and audit trails, documented so you can show an evaluator or an auditor.
- Access reviews
- Backup and restore drills
- Written security summary
Websites, hosting and email
Fast, accessible public sites with hosting, domain, DNS and business email set up correctly the first time and kept that way.
- Deliverability (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)
- Plugin and CMS updates
- Uptime monitoring
Work
Recent work
What the client had, what Ascenta built or set up, and where it stands now.
Website and managed services
Missouri Applied Physics
Had no website and no business systems. Ascenta built mophysics.com from scratch and set up a business phone line, and now hosts, patches and backs up all of it under a monthly agreement.
Since March 2026
Website, booking and payments
The Soft Rebellion
A wellness brand launching paid sessions needed a site and a way to take bookings and payment without manual invoicing. Ascenta built thesoftrebellion.com on React and Firebase, then added booking on Cal.com and payment through Stripe in one flow.
Since June 2026
Business email and phone
FittCoaching
A coaching business running on a personal Gmail address and no US phone line. Ascenta moved it to Google Workspace on its own domain with SPF, DKIM and DMARC configured, scoring 10/10 on mail-tester, and set up a US mobile line for account recovery.
Since May 2026
Technical advisory, AI platform
Rezify
An AI internship-matching platform. Ascenta's founder has been an investor and Senior Technical Advisor since May 2025: led the migration to Google Workspace, put platform monitoring in place, and guides cloud infrastructure and CI/CD. Registered users grew 723% between September 2025 and September 2026.
Since May 2025
About
One engineer, accountable for the whole stack
Ascenta Systems is founded and run by Don Hogan, an engineer with 12 years in cloud infrastructure and managed IT, including four years running the infrastructure behind a healthcare platform that processed millions of patient records a day at 99.9% uptime under HIPAA and SOC 2 Type II. The company is a Missouri LLC formed in February 2026.
You deal with the person who builds and runs your systems, not an account manager, and every decision is written down so a successor could pick it up tomorrow.
- Google Cloud and Firebase
- GitHub-based delivery
- Documented, tested, staged
