Profile
StowITnShowIT is
the trading name of the sole trader
business I started in 1999, after many years as a teacher. This included 15
years of working with computers in schools and involvement with staff
training.
The name reflects the initial
objective to process photographs, text and information for storage and display in a variety
of formats: floppy, CDR, web, video or print. These are now a relatively
small part of the business (labelled 'Other Services' below).
The current thrust of the business follows three main directions - web
design, business services and help at home- mainly in response to customer
demand and as a result of personal skill development in web design and
computer programming.
Web Design
The business has more recently focussed on web design for small/medium
businesses, offering many advanced features of web site operation at very
competitive rates. We specialise in matching business requirements to web
site functions within a limited overall budget, while maintaining a high
quality product. The service on offer is continually being improved.
Business Services
For businesses without in-house computer expertise, we can offer advice
and support regarding computer hardware, printers, internet connections,
software and basic procedures in computer usage. Our advice is impartially
based on your requirements, as we do not sell equipment and therefore have
no vested interest.
We operate telephone help or respond to call out when necessary to
troubleshoot problems. Charging is cumulative on a quarterly account basis.
Help at Home
I have developed this aspect of the business in response to demand from
private individuals in Thirsk area for computer help in their own homes.
This service deals with:
Computer purchase advice: I'll go with you to help you buy the
computer you need, set it up to run smoothly and spend a couple of hours
showing you how to proceed.
Troubleshooting internet connections, email problems, virus removal,
broadband connection
Windows problems and reloads, hardware and software installation.
Single or multiple training sessions on topics to suit your needs:
e.g. sending emails, using word processors or spreadsheets, digital
photography.
Some jobs have a fixed charge, but work is normally charged by the
quarter hour, with a usual minimum of half an hour. A charge may be made for
travelling beyond the immediate Thirsk area (you will be told of this in
advance).
Other Services
Photographic
Photography for web sites we are designing.
Bulk scanning of prints, 35mm negatives or 35mm colour slides onto
CD/DVD for archive/back up purposes or for slideshow display on computer
or TV.
Transfer from VHS (video) or camcorder tape to DVD (non copyright
sources only).
Please note that we no longer offer the following services:
photo repair - scratch removal etc
photo printing
Special Design Projects
We can produce electronic brochures and product catalogues to run interactively from a
CD as well as in web format.
