SPECIAL RATES FOR ROAD
RUNNER CUSTOMERS
If you have high speed cable access (like Road Runner), you
already have a Web Site included with your service. Want some help setting it
up? Have more than one computer but only one connected to the Internet? A small
network with a Router can give all of your computers the same internet access
without paying for more than one connection. That also allows you to share
printers, CD Writers, backup devices, and files with your other computers. A
Wireless Router can do this without the cables within a house or small office.
This equipment is not expensive. Time and knowledge to set it up generally costs
more than the equipment and regular cable installers or home users do not
usually do this. I do! Other than just business: Got a new computer that the kids
use & still can't get E-Mail? Need help getting those photos from your camera to
an E-Mail or printer? Got video you want to save on CD ROM? Kids use computers
in school and your home system not up-to-date? Heard about all of the "virus
problems" and not sure if you are protected? Interested in Online Banking or
Home Financial Programs but need help setting them up? Need to create safe
"backups" in case your computer "crashes"? Do your computers or software need updating? Are Microsoft
updates confusing and expensive? Why does your home need internet access?
E-mail? Web Site? Training? Research? Most computers now come with enough software & equipment to do
almost anything you can imagine and all it takes is some time, help and
knowledge of how to use it. I know how! I also keep up with new developments and
part of my service is helping you make the best and usually least expensive
choice. I don’t want to sell you anything you don’t need. I now provide some of this to individuals at
rates that are much less than my regular business rates (depends on my schedule).
Sample home rates: First 30
minutes free (we determine what you need and if I want to do it), hourly charge
of $50 per hour after that includes anything I can do to help you improve your
system and show you how to use what you have. (Top)
Most computers come with some "office suite" software and
accounting software already installed. Some come with Microsoft Works and others
with WordPerfect and Microsoft Office (other packages are available). With
some initial training and knowledge of how to use any of these, you can operate
homes or small businesses with these products. I show you what you have available and
how to use it and even set it up for you initially if needed. You save lots of
time & frustration! Training, Web Site Design, Database Development, System
Analysis, Equipment Purchase & Installation are just a few of my services.
See a list of some software I own
and use.
I try to stay updated on current developments and get daily
updates from services like Microsoft Partner, Microsoft Technet, Microsoft
Insider Update, Windows Platform News, eWEEK, TechRepublic, Zdnet Tech Updates,
and others. Technology improves every day & it’s difficult to keep up with the
changes.
Updates to Equipment & Software
You may have Windows 96, 98, 2000, ME, XP or some mixture on
your computers. Microsoft wants you to upgrade to their newest version and says
they don’t support older versions. Other software vendors may also require
upgrades. Newer equipment may be required to use newer versions and may not be
compatible with your older systems. It’s expensive and perhaps unnecessary to do
everything they tell you to do. If you do buy a new computer, you may want
software and files from your old system moved to the new one. It’s possible in
most cases but not always simple.
Microsoft Office Products
Microsoft Office Development services include the custom
design or enhancement of Office products to meet the needs of your home or
business. Development services range from design of custom Access databases to
creation of macro scripts in Word. Customization of Office software might also
include the integration of a program with the product of a different vendor.
Office Products include Word processing. Excel spreadsheets,
PowerPoint presentations, Access database, and Outlook Mail,
Schedules, Contacts, Addresses, Calendar, Notes, Tasks, etc.
Web Site Design Services
My web site design services cover the full scope of project
development; from planning through regular maintenance. A site design project
may be contracted in full (all aspects of the complete project) or you may
contract my services for specific project tasks. While I do offer full service
site design, I do not offer web hosting services. Samples of my work can be
viewed from my web site or links available on my Web Site:
