MendoClick services include the development of databases, websites and Microsoft Office® solutions. As a sole proprietor, I take your project very seriously. Your success is my success. When appropriate, I involve other experienced professionals to give you the best possible assistance.
My goal is always to create websites that work well for all site visitors. Can you afford to lose potential clients because the "wrong" browser "breaks" your site?
Some people use older monitors, handheld devices, WebTV, or other hardware different from the average desktop computer, and they may have differing personal needs as well, such as requiring keyboard navigation without a mouse, text magnification, or screen readers that speak the text aloud. Furthermore, even on similar hardware, different browser software may be used. Consequently, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has developed specifications to encourage website compatibility with multiple browsers and hardware devices. I adhere to the W3C's recommendations. Unfortunately, some extra work-around coding is still necessary when a browser (such as Internet Explorer) does not entirely adhere to the standards, but since each new browser version comes closer, coding first by the standards means coding for the future as well as for current browser and hardware variation.
My expertise tends toward the hidden, underlying logic and structures that keep everything working smoothly, such as the databases that store information (like customer registration and product descriptions), the code that gets that information to and from your Web pages, and the security strategies that keep your vital data safe from information thieves or destroyers. While I do not specialize in Web marketing, graphics design, photography or writing the words for your site (I can't do everything, after all), I will gladly work with other professionals to get the entire job done.
I use the right software tools for the job. If you want a dynamic website in which content needs to be changed frequently, I may propose a content management systems (CMS) such as Drupal, which allows non-technical staff to add, update and manage text and images easily without needing additional services from the website developer (once the latter has set it up correctly, of course). Alternatively, if your site is primarily aimed at authorship by one or more writers, something like WordPress may be perfect for you. (These particular product examples have the advantage of being totally open source, easily allowing me to customize them appropriately for your company.)
In the rush to finish each day’s work, who has time to study workflow, software, and procedures? Worse, changes in needs, technologies and prices make yesterday’s best strategies obsolete. However, the situation is far from hopeless.
Consider this: A savings of just five minutes a day adds up to about 22 hours per year. Even a small automation enhancement can reward businesses with improved access to data, time savings and lower costs. This translates to superior services and value for clients.
For desktop automation, I target Microsoft Office. Not only can you have a new or improved Access database, but also better efficiency within and between other Microsoft Office applications. For example, the click of a button in your database form could automatically generate a Word document with database information already inserted. Or programming code attached to an Excel toolbar could automatically open a list of Outlook contacts, from which you could select one, whereupon that contact's information would automatically be inserted into your spreadsheet.
As a certified Microsoft Office Specialist Master Instructor, I will gladly help you when you get stuck. I have largely turned my focus away from giving workshops, simply because I live where there are many more redwoods than people and have filled my time with programming instead. Nevertheless, I do enjoy helping people master their software and still consult by phone and email on Microsoft Office challenges. I also tutor beginning and intermediate programmers on VBA, HTML, and CSS.
As time permits, I post resources that are likely to be of interest to small businesses and individual PC users, including:
I also collect useful links whenever I browse the 'Net, but it would not be appropriate to list them all here. If you are looking for something in particular, I can probably point you in the right direction.
I have a particular interest in technology solutions for special needs. Contact me for more information.
