Support for Zoom meetings and other videoconference platforms
We have years of experience running simple and highly complex Zoom meetings, including international events spanning many time zones, and events that integrate other technologies for an advanced meeting experience. We also can provide personalized training in using Zoom and other platforms for folks ranging from novices to sophisticated computer users.
Edit your existing Web site
We can help spruce up your site’s appearance with improved graphics and layout. We can make it much easier to use with our in-depth knowledge of Web-usability research. With our background in journalism, copyediting, and promotional writing, we can sharpen up the writing so it has greater impact and moves your site’s visitors to action.
Improve Web-site security
Did you know that many Web sites (including most WordPress sites) are under constant attack from hackers attempting to take over the sites for their own purposes? Did you know many of those attacks are from terrorist sympathizers who might want to use your site to hide their files or launch their plans (including attacks on other Web sites)? Did you know that many passwords can be guessed by a network of computers in as little as a few seconds? We can check passwords and recommend ways to strengthen them (as well as to securely store them), install security features in WordPress sites that will lock out almost any attempt to break in, and make sure your site's security remains up-to-date.
Create a Web site from scratch
If your practice, business, or activity doesn’t yet have a Web site, we can help you think through what a site can accomplish for you, who you want to reach, and what you want them to do. We can then work with you to design and implement a Web site from start to finish, including registering your Web address (domain name), arranging a place for your site to reside (Web host), setting up e-mail with [email protected] (.org, .net, etc.), designing the appearance of your site, providing the artwork, helping with the writing — whatever you require. We can even set up online stores and online classes. Our aim is to create a site that reflects your personality and preferences, effectively promotes your cause, is easy to use — while keeping the process as simple, creative, and fun for you as possible.
Build your social-media presence
We’ve helped clients strengthen their relationships with clients/customers/participants and find new ones through Yelp, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook. We can create or upgrade your presence on those social-media sites; help you understand how to put them to good use; link them together so you can update several social-media accounts easily, in a single step; perform updates for you if you wish; set up and maintain your security and privacy settings so you control who sees what; and use social media to drive more visitors to your Web site.
Market and promote you
We have had great success improving how readily our clients can be found online, causing them to show up earlier in search results (SEO, Search Engine Optimization), getting them mentioned and linked on related sites, and devising online advertising that reaches just the audience they are looking for. Having a fantastic Web site doesn't do much for you if people don’t see it; we can help drive more “eyeballs” to your site.
Create printed materials for you
Our services aren’t limited to online resources: We can also create brochures, flyers, invitations, business cards, letterhead, and other print media. We can even arrange printing at a green, unionized print shop.
Edit video, audio, photos, graphics
We have experience with video and audio editing as well as adjusting photos to improve their appearance online.
Provide “personal tech support”
The fact that “we speak human” means we can help you figure out your technical issues (personal computers, home and small-scale business networks, printers, etc.) and help you understand how to better use digital equipment and services, including protecting your online security (social-media privacy, conducting banking/business, etc.). We also can dramatically improve the speed of older laptop computers so you can keep using the same machine for years, avoiding the high cost of replacement.
What’s missing here
If you need related services we can’t provide in-house, we can call upon our network of dependable skilled professionals — people we know personally and trust.
