• website repair

    Is your website broken down, and needs to be repaired? Sometimes things go wrong with websites and you need someone to take a "quick look" and determine the problem. Perhaps something is not loading, the layout is messed up, or wish to change something and you just don't know who to ask. That's what I'm all about. Instead of paying huge fees to a webhost for technical assistance, contact me. I'm a one-man freelancer that can give you quick answers and great service.

  • how does it work?

    You email me with your questions or a description of your problem and I'll email you back usually within hours. If it's necessary, I will ask you to provide your webhost account information so I can access your files online. I will give you a very reasonable quote on what it will cost, usually a single fee, by the job ... and in some cases, there are no fees.

    The communication is very informal, and I focus on your problem at hand. If you wish to contact any of my clients for references, please see a portion of my client list below.
