Sound familiar?

11:04 p.m. The shop closed five hours ago.

Receipts. Invoices. Card fees you can’t read.

You didn’t open a business to do paperwork at midnight.

Real calls, word for word.

“My nephew built our website in high school. He’s 26 now and doesn’t answer my texts.”

A caller · The Orphaned Website

“Google says we’re permanently closed. We are not. I found out from my mother-in-law.”

A caller · The Premature Obituary

“I pay $19 every year to renew something called a domain. I don’t know what it does. I’m afraid to stop.”

A caller · The $19 Mystery

So hand it to me.

How it works

Three steps. You decide at each one.

  1. Free visit.

    30 minutes at your place, or on the phone. You leave with the first three things I’d fix.

  2. A fixed price, in writing.

    If there is work worth doing, you get the price before I start.

  3. I do the work.

    Your approval before anything moves money or goes out in your name.

Proof

Owners around here, and their sites.

“I had the absolute BEST experience working with Blake to design the website for Mane Escape Studio! He was incredibly punctual, professional, knowledgeable, and so easy to work with from start to finish. … Any changes I requested were made incredibly quickly, and he always responded in a timely manner.”

Questions.

What does the free visit cost?

Nothing. 30 minutes at your place or on the phone. You leave with the first three things I’d fix. No obligation.

What will the work cost?

A fixed price, in writing, before I start. The common jobs have their price on this page, and the rest are on the prices page.

I’m not a computer person. Is that a problem?

No. You tell me what eats your week. I set it up and show you how it works. You keep every password.

Do I have to switch software?

No. If it can export a file, share a folder or invite a user, I can work with it: QuickBooks, Square, Clover, Google, Wix and most others. Not affiliated with any of these companies.

What if you find nothing on my bills?

Then you pay nothing. No savings, no fee. I take no commissions from any company whose prices I compare.

Is it just you?

Yes. One person, start to finish. You deal with me.
