What other people say

Simon recently helped me set up my website. He was able to Setup WordPress with my existing web host, setup backup and security plugins. He installed my chosen WordPress theme and created blank pages for me to customise myself, as I had requested. Simon spoke in easy to understand language (no technical jargon) and was prompt answering questions and completing the scope of works even though it was the busy end of the year. Thank you Simon for getting this website up and running! – Julie – Ashburton VIC. Owner and Founder of Space & Time

Simon researched and helped me purchase the best computer that suited my requirements for editing photos for my photography business and also worked to my budget. He transferred all my information (photos, lightroom catalog, emails) across from the old machine to the new one.
Simon was thoughtful, an excellent problem solver and great at explaining the process. He was patient with excellent listening skills. – Mara – Blampied VIC. Photographer and Gardener

Simon has helped Acoustic Directions on numerous occasions, with both web design and general IT issues. Recently, he converted our web site from Drupal (very hard to self-edit) to WordPress (much easier for us to edit).
Simon was simply excellent in this process. His work is skilled, timely, and pro-active, and nothing was too much trouble. And he is very quick with lots of support. His assistance has proved to be of great value to us and we are indebted to him. – Glenn – Petersham NSW. Principal at Acoustic Directions

Being a member of the older generation, I was resistant to using technology as it scared me, but I knew I really should get an e-mail account. Simon helped me set up an e-mail account and showed me how to use it. He patiently spent the time going over the basics until I was confident using the email system. He also showed me how to navigate around the web and use Google to find information that I was looking for. Simon always made me feel comfortable to ask questions and never minded going over things a couple of times if needed. – Diane – Buninyong VIC
