Fees
As I have retirement, Social Security this
is not my principal income. I am slowing down in some
ways but still have a strong interest in technology as it relates to small
business.
I can my fees at a reasonable level to provide affordability
to small business.
I believe that they are well below levels for consultants and support personnel
in this area of business.
Keep in mind that in order to offer good technical advice, I
must have installed in my office a
variety of equipment and software in order to have thorough familiarity with it.
My experience
has shown that I will likely spend about an hour for every client hour on
research, studies and, in
general keeping up to date.
A geek-on-your-staff would require a fair salary,
benefits, vacation, insurance, workman's comp, etc.
When I'm done in your office, I "ring out". Enuf said!
Hourly fee is $50 per hour
- Typically I have a two hour minimum fee if called in for
unscheduled problems.
- Typically do not charge for reasonable duration phone calls to
assist with issues.
- I can usually be contacted during normal working hours + evenings
and weekends
for emergencies or questions.
- Business support outside a 25 mile radius of Whitney Point may
require extra fees.
Business support includes evaluating the business for effective PC usage, recommendations
for such things
as Hardware, Software, Upgrades, Networking, education, etc. Hardware repairs,
software problem resolution, network setup and problem resolution are also part
of my
support. For some businesses I perform routine scheduled preventive maintenance -
this
assures
that your people are free to do their job and insures that it does get done.
Web Design is $40.00 per hour
- We're not talking gee-whiz design stuff here - just basic web
pages
- Also knowledge of hosting services - the
best prices.
- If you want local
hosting, I know where to send you and why.
- If you need Gee-Whiz design, I know who
to recommend.
Caveats:
1. I am not a Microsoft Certified Technician but usually have the ability to
solve most problems
2. Not a Microsoft Certified Network Technician but can build and maintain effective networks
for small business environments
Where a problem requires outside tech support, beyond my experience, I
will be glad to refer
you to someone who can help through my contacts.
