Technology Strategy | Review Quotes, Advise on Infrastructure

I love helping small businesses figure out all aspects of their technical infrastructure - from websites to email to physical payment platforms and everything in between. It's so hard for business owners to navigate choosing the right platforms, especially with the bias of people and companies who want your business. A good choice for one business owner may not be the right one for you. If you are just starting out, I can help guide you on which platforms you need to consider and give you the framework to decide on which are best for you depending on your budget and needs. I can hold your hand through every step if you need it. If you are already working on something (like building a website), I can help you review quotes from developers or agencies, tell you how much you should be spending, and give you ideas of where to look for help. Or, I can help outline some of the pitfalls you might not be thinking of with different website platforms. If you are recovering from some bad advice you received years ago, I can help you untangle the mess. I can help you build a timeline and budget to get back on track, and help you prioritize what to fix first. There are a million qualified developers and services out there at every price point to make your business a success. But finding the right ones and knowing what to spend is overwhelming at best. I act as an independent third party who can help translate your options for you without the bias of a contractor, agency or company that wants to win your business.
