Personalized Technology Coaching

Many professionals try to struggle with maintaining, fixing, and upgrading their personal computers and software on their own. We quickly defer tax issues to a CPA, legal issues to a lawyer, or investing decisions to a financial advisor, but we too often try to go it alone with technology. I have worked with and personally used a wide variety of computers and software, both generally and with music and multimedia applications, for over 40 years.  This experience translates into a pragmatic approach for client coaching.  We find what is needed to make things work well together. We look through the many options to find simple and practical solutions. We problem solve situations when things are not working. In short, we work together to help you better understand how to maximize the features offered by your computer system and its software.

Web Design Coaching

For many people or small organizations, a simple, cost-effective website can be created that is aesthetically pleasing, expresses the mission of the project, business, or organization, and is easy to maintain. I assist my clients in realizing a complete package for a website:  design, content generation, construction, domain name selection and registration, host server selection and site upload and testing, and ongoing maintenance.

The website implementation has the following attributes, the website:

  • Strives for a balance between attractive design and technology simplicity; doesn't use web technology for technology's sake.
  • Identifies an audience(s) and designs site around this group or groups to draw them into the content
  • Uses photos placed strategically throughout the site to show the “personality” of the project, event, group, ensemble, etc. including photo galleries.
  • Uses sidebars and callouts to provide extra tidbits of information and depth to the site’s content
  • Uses free resources on the web to enhance site: weather plug-ins, Google maps, iTunes store, del.icio.us web links, etc.
  • Uses web design templates to reduce design time and achieve a simple but professional look and feel.
  • Built to be simple to maintain in the long term.
