I'm finding that the official and public Microsoft documentation, and the public's attempt to contribute, for their server stuff (Azure, .NET Framework, ASP.NET, .Net Core, IIS) is quite obtuse—not even reasonable. It's like they invented web server technology, but it's some magical different variety, so y'all better know it's gonna be a wall to climb and a crazy new learning curve.
Some Current Clients
Sunny Exteriors
I have enjoyed creating a new website for Stefan, and helping improve his Google Ads account and his Facebook presence, as well as improving his ranking in organic search specific to his industry and locality. Sometimes it's the "little things" like adding SSL security!
The friendships I have with my clients make it easy to share ideas and information. Stefan is easy to talk to on the phone, so sometimes we just update each other with a brief chat.
I'm fixing Stefan's laptops at the moment.
Big Bear Tools
I started helping Big Bear Tools in 2011. Since then, Dave and I have worked through everything from new eCommerce systems to e-mail newsletters to Facebook catalogs for Instagram products!
Twice now, errors that our web-host server is experiencing have forced us to shut down the website. It's important for Dave that during times like that, he knows I'm there to re-direct customers to a shopping portal. He also sometimes needs me to uninstall malware on his big Mac. ????
ALDS Canada
Ted sells assistive products for the hard of hearing and speech impaired. His retail shop is running 24x7 online. I've enjoyed creating new websites with Dealer login areas, and helping Ted with various things like SEO or eCommerce payment methods.
It was difficult to beat the "other" ALDS (American League Division Series) on the Google Search Results Page, but we did it! (for our Canadian customers anyways!)
Sometimes I get to learn about my client's products or services when I'm creating content, whether it be an e-newsletter or an SEO description. Check out BeHear® NOW—I think it's the best hearing aid alternative possible!
Coast Metal Solutions
My favorite type of site is code-only. This one is just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
I'm ready to create any CMS-based (e.g. WordPress.org, Joomla, Concrete5) website or a straight PHP/JavaScript site.
