Help in Obtaining your Domain and Hosting
This
may at first seem a bit daunting. So I have broken the
process in to simple steps. Just take each step one step at
a time. First obtain your domain name and your hosting
space. I have created a Flash interactive instructions
showing how easy this is to do. I have used actual screen
shots with superimposed instructions which you will find
easy to follow. I would welcome your feedback on how easy
you found this to follow and any areas or items that you
require help on. To minimise the download time I have split
them into sections making it easy to revise on a particular
subject. I will be adding new subjects that clients request.

shows just how easy it is to build yourself a web site using our

make any changes in case your changes do not have the desired
effect and wish to undo these changes.
Have different sites set up for example, you can have site setup
for Christmas, Easter etc. and after the event save the site for
the next time and reinstate a different site for the rest of the
year. This way you can very quickly keep your site relevant to
the times.

HELP and TUITION - personal and group
This is mainly intended to solve a specific problem and can be on almost anything. It doesn't have to be a website that we created, control, host or even web related. It could be computer or a software problem. I have years of experience on electronic servicing and running different businesses. In most cases can be provided via the web, email, msn, voip (Voice Over Internet Protocol) or a mixture. For example we can both be viewing the problem online and at the same time speaking directly to you. I can remotely access the server and see just what is going on. This save both time and travelling making it very cost effective.
Can also be face to face (121). If the problem is setting up your computer to collect your emails for example, this may have to be done on your computer at your premises....
DIY services are provided at the lowest possible cost and are provided fully automated online, together with online help. Obviously if you paying for a DIY service then you cannot expect a full bespoke service. However, if you have made a reasonable attempt to help yourself but cannot resolve your problem then contact support with a full description of the problem and what you have done or how you have tried to resolve the problem and I will help your.
Email me outlining your requirement or problem
