Computers and software
Computers, fixed and built
Residential and small-business computer work in Livingston and Overton County: hardware, software, development, and repair. The same person who builds the websites handles the computer conversation.
The everyday jobs
- A machine that has gone slow for no obvious reason.
- A drive that died, and what can and cannot be pulled off it.
- A virus or other infection that needs cleaning out properly, not just a scan that says clean.
- A new build, specified for the software, storage, peripherals, and workload it needs to support.
- A small business network: a handful of machines, a shared printer, a point of sale that needs to stay up.
- Backup and recovery needs reviewed and scoped before any promise about retention, restore, or protection is made.
Residential and commercial
A home machine and a business system can have different downtime, data, access, and scheduling needs, so each job is diagnosed and quoted to the actual problem. Development work can also be discussed when the need is software rather than a repair.
How a repair goes
- Tell me what the machine is doing, or not doing, over the phone.
- I explain the diagnosis and likely tradeoffs before repair work starts.
- Repair happens on-site where that makes sense, or the machine comes to me for anything that needs a bench.
- The result, remaining limits, and charges are explained in plain terms; this page does not promise that damaged hardware or lost data can always be recovered.
Diagnosis before promises
A laptop that will not boot and a business network that drops a register connection need evidence before a repair promise. The first job is to narrow the cause, explain the tradeoffs, and state what can and cannot be confirmed before work begins.
The same person who builds your site
If you already have, or are thinking about, a website, it is worth knowing the computer work and the web work come from the same person. One phone call covers a slow machine, a new website, and everything between. Web design in Livingston is where that starts if a site is part of the job.
Computer work is quoted to the actual problem; the published pricing page applies to the separate standard website offer.
The useful distinction is simple: computer and web work can begin through one direct conversation with Steve, with each scope and price written for the actual job.
