Are You Having Computer Problems..?

If you are having problems with your computer and need some professional help then you have found the right place.

I offer all aspects of hardware and software support and repair for Apple computers and Windows PCs of all brands. I am able to source and install new and used components and offer a fast turn around service.

Focusing on home computers, domestic IT and home workers means that I understand how you want to use your computer and how it needs it connect with all of your other devices. I established the business in 2005 and have been providing support to home computer users in and around Cambridge ever since with hundreds of happy customers.

Preferring to visit you, I have a number of appointments available throughout the day and evening. If you prefer to drop your computer off with me my workshop is behind my house in central Cambridge, off Mill Road.

With more and more people choosing to work from home it’s even more important to have someone available to solve all of the computer problems quickly and efficiently, for many of my customers I offer remote support, ideal for solving that small problem without the need for a visit.

Not all problems are computer problems, some are broadband or wifi problems, these almost always need a home visit to assess and resolve, I have many years experience with BT and Virgin Media Broadband, I will know how to deal with the problem.

A Local WordPress Specialist

I have been working on WordPress web sites for many years, creating new sites and maintaining existing ones. WordPress is an excellent platform for a website, being very flexible it’s probably the easiest and most powerful blogging and website content management system (or CMS) in existence today.

WordPress can be hosted in many ways, www.wordpress.com is a useful platform for starting a website, for those who need a little more flexibility and perhaps more content with the option of more plugins and greater integration a hosted version may be more sensible. I can provide advice and practical assistance with all aspects of domain name registration, website hosting and integration.

You might already have a website and need someone to update and maintain it or perhaps move it to a new host, yes, happy to help with that too.

Sensible SEO For Your Website

It’s all very well having a website, can it be found in Google and Bing? You have probably had endless emails claiming to be able to make you appear ‘at the top of the list’ and ‘drive’ seemingly endless traffic to your site, all totally unrealistic. There is only one way to make sure that your site performs as well as it can and that is with Search Engine Optimisation ‘Best Practice’.

What I am not is a ‘SEO Agency’. Working on many websites gives me an insight into how different search optimisation strategies work and how search engines develop their algorithms to continually adapt and return accurate results. My work is based on ‘Best Practice’ drawn from a number of sources and using evolving techniques to maintain search relevance. If you are unsure, how did you find this site?

My search engine optimisation is not limited to WordPress, I am happy to offer some advice on sites that use many other content management systems including Weebly, Wix, Joomla and others. Get in touch, I might be useful.

Connected Home

More and more devices are internet enabled, requiring connections to the internet either by wired ethernet or wireless. SmartTV features require a good quality internet connection, devices such as Amazon echo™ and Google Home™ offer great services but only when they have a fast and reliable internet connection.

Streaming services from BT, Sky, Virgin Media and Amazon via the Amazon fireTV™ system also require good connectivity, it’s becoming more and more common to distribute the single broadband service around the home, something I can help with.
