Internet

Website Design

Last updated: August 16, 2003

Both Ian and I do website design. We have produced a number of sites, including several personal sites for my partner and myself, two for autism charities, one for an artist, and an FAQ for the alt.support.autism newsgroup (now hosted and maintained by John Muggleton), but most are not currently being used on the web.

Website Hosting

Competitively priced hosting for your website, with or without its own domain.

We are happy to do design or hosting for your website at very competitive rates. Discounts for charities and personal homepages. Barter/service exchange very happily considered.

Internet Research

Not sure how to use search engines to find what you need? No time to search the internet? I am happy to research any topic you may need to know about for yourself or your work. My special interests are special needs and medical concerns, but I can look up anything and give you the results in a format that suits you.

Hardware

Custom Built Computers

Both of us, but especially Ian, are happy to build a computer to whatever specifications meet your needs. We can help you pick out hardware that best suits what you intend to do with your computer. We can also undercut most retail prices.

Repairs and Upgrades

Ian is amazing at computer repairs. He can even sometimes recover data from broken or formatted disks. If your computer is ill and you are near enough to bring or send it to Northwich, Cheshire, Ian will be happy to take a look at it and do any repairs at great prices.

Specialist Services

CD archives

Protect your photos and documents from loss or damage. Put them on a CD-ROM. Contact us for details of our CD archiving services.

Programming

Ian is a very efficient computer programmer who will do custom programming for nearly any purpose. He is currently working on software for a mass spectrometry company.

Networking for home or business

Ian can set up and configure small or large networks. We have an extensive home network with several different types of computers on it, and he has done networking professionally.
