Please ask yourself the questions below. If you answer yes to more than 4 of them, you're ready for a change: Are you tired of how your site looks and functions?
Are you regularly annoyed by not being "heard" by your current webmaster?
Have you had enough of being talked to by techies like you're a three-year-old?
Do you have a diverse team where each person needs to have a say in how your site looks and functions - yet no one agrees?
Too many people working on your site and need some housecleaning?
Are you having difficulty describing your database and e-commerce needs, yet know exactly what you need?
Do you have a small budget but big needs?
Do your web site contributors just need a bit of supervision or a cheerleader to get them motivated?
Do you have an ongoing need for training for the same web or program tasks for new employees?
Did IT capture your web site to save money and now it works but boy — is it U-G-L-Y?
Creating customized online videos and classes for specific software and project promotion implementation is another service offered; as well as creating training manuals for the most basic of users. Susan takes the approach of "teaching a Martian how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich."
Custom training classes can be created and recorded for specific software and web site maintenance to save the hourly rate to repeat one-on-one classes with me. This also helps to eliminate the need to coordinate training sessions, rooms and attendees. Students can login and take the classes created just for their company.
An optional training or consulting service is to spend time explaining what some of your more "technical" staff or suppliers may be tossing your way. You may need a way to understand, in plain terms, enabling you to better explain to those you answer to. I can walk through a lot of the geek speak and current trends.
