You don't need to be a computer expert. That's what I'm for.
Why would I pick you?
Because I've played in the big leagues of technology and now I bring that home to Vernon. I'm a retired Microsoft training-manual writer, so explaining complicated things in plain English is what I was trained to do. I worked with Google Maps as a trusted Street View photographer, building virtual tours tied to local businesses' Google profiles, and with Google Auto on car dealership projects. I've spent 40 years at the high end of the technology market, and in 1999 I launched inthehouse.com, an early online real estate platform.
Why would someone with that background help a local business?
Because it feels good to do good. I learned how the biggest players win online, and most local owners never get to see that playbook. Now I use it to help people in my own community get the results the big companies get.
Have you done this for a real business?
Many times. I used this system for my own boat rental business in Coldstream and it became the top rental in the region. I've also used it for epoxy flooring, artificial turf, permanent lighting, intercom systems, commercial cannabis facilities and real estate, where I'm a REALTOR® with Coldwell Banker Executives Realty in Vernon.
What does working together look like?
Coffee and a look at your site on your own phone. A clear plan in plain English with a price. I do the work while you approve the look and wording. Then a short monthly update showing where you rank and how many calls came in.
Do I need a whole new website?
Not always. Many sites just need the $999 Fix-Up. Others are better off with a rebuild starting at $2,500. I'll tell you honestly which one yours needs.
How much of my time will this take?
A coffee to start, an hour or two to approve things, and a few minutes a month to read your update.
Will I understand what you're doing?
Yes. If I can't explain it in plain English, I won't ask you to pay for it.
Is it worth the money?
Think about what one more good customer a month is worth to you. For most established businesses, the top spots pay for themselves many times over. We'll look at your numbers together before you decide.
Together we can make it to the top of the chairlift.
