Web Design
Make your presence known on the web with a custom website, or upgrade your old site. Many levels available, from very low cost to professional. If you do not have a hosting service or domain name, I can assist you in setting up a plan. My emphasis is on helping you, I can provide a starter site and the knowledge you need to maintain your own presence, or perform ongoing periodic updates. My personal skills include photography and writing. I can provide a rich experience for your site visitors using photographs of your business and products, write-ups on your company, people, and offerings, as well as site marketing to make your business more visible on the web.
Software & Hardware
For software in small businesses, I can help you beat the high costs. If you have multiple computers, I can get you started with a Linux-based operating system to avoid multiple Windows licensing costs. If you prefer Windows, I can show you how to install and use the many free productivity applications to fit your needs. If you need small office networking, I can provide or assist in the installation of routers and wiring. If you need computers, I can purchase and assemble quality desktop units at less than the cost of store-bought commercial units.
Custom Software
I also specialize in custom software, including setting up internal office servers and databases. If you need a custom database and a web-based site which includes the ability to allow your users to access and update your information from on or off-site, I can set that up for you in a secure manner in a very reasonable amount of time. My specialty is in PHP and MySQL, but also have experience with Visual Studio C# Windows applications and web .NET applications programming, as well as Linux-based python and earlier languages.
