Michael Is Fantastic To Work With
Yes, Michael is a highly skilled website designer - the site he built for our nonprofit looks fantastic, and the navigation is logical for the visitors to our site. Just as important as his web designer skills, however, are his skills in working and communicating with you on building a site that works and looks great. Michael spoke to us in non-technical terms (or explained the technical terms to us when we needed to know them), and is just a great communicator in general - something you don't find every day. If you're looking for someone to help you build a great site and to enjoy the process, look no further.

The Thought of Building a Website Is Daunting...
...but, it is not so if you work with Michael. Under the guidance of Michael, we were able to take little steps and we reached the goal line with an amazing site. Michael is a great communicator and was able to take the geek language out of our conversations and made it very easy for us to follow his lead. He is very organized, and articulate. He would follow up with great notes and met our deadlines and fulfilled his commitment to us to give us a site that was easy for us to manage and maintain. Thank you very much for the learning experience and for our great website.

How A Simple Approach To Problem Solving Changed My Entire View Of Business
About a 1.5 million years ago in tech time, aka the ’90’s, I was in charge of global internal tech support for a company now called DaVita Healthcare. It was my third such stint as a tech support implementer in my 20’s. Each facility had its own Local Area Network (LAN) with PC’s and print servers, and lots of opportunity for things to go wrong. There was no internet-based networking, so to access each facility’s LAN we had to use a dial-up modem. Pushing updates to the computers in these facilities was difficult. It would have been absolute mayhem except for something my boss at the time taught me: The Price-Waterhouse Problem Resolution Protocycle (PWPRP).
