Frequently asked questions

Everything most clients want to know about how remote IT support works, what the $500 website includes, pricing, and security.

Remote IT support

How does remote IT support actually work?
You receive a one-time download link, run it, and give me the nine-digit code shown on your screen. From there I can see and control your computer through an end-to-end encrypted session. When the session ends, my access ends — no software is left behind.
Is remote support secure?
Yes. Sessions are end-to-end encrypted, require a one-time code that only you can share, and are short-lived. I have no standing access to your computer outside the session.
What if you can't fix my problem?
Then you don't pay. Simple as that. If the fix needs hardware I can't replace remotely, I'll tell you exactly what to do next at no extra charge.
Do you offer on-site support?
I'm remote-first, which is faster and cheaper for almost every issue. On-site visits are available by request in the St. Paul, NE area when a job genuinely needs hands on the hardware.
What kinds of problems do you handle?
Slow PCs and Macs, virus and malware removal, Wi-Fi and networking, printer issues, software setup (Microsoft 365, QuickBooks, Adobe, email, password managers, backups), and small-business network help. If you're not sure, just ask.

Websites

Is the $500 website really flat? No monthly fees?
Yes. $500 covers design, build, and launch of a custom static website (up to 5 pages). The only ongoing cost is your domain name (about $10/year). You own the code and can take it anywhere.
What can the $500 website include?
Up to 5 pages — typically Home, Services, About, Gallery, and Contact. It's mobile-first, SEO-ready, and integrates with your Google Business Profile.
How long does a website take to build?
Most small-business sites are live within 1–3 days from when you send your content. You'll get a preview link before launch so you can request changes.
Do you do website hosting?
I'll walk you through on how to setup a domain with Cloudflare (reputable website hoster) and purchasing a domain. After that you will send me an invite link to my email, so I can access it for future updates/maintenance. But you still own your domain and all of the code -- No monthly fee.
Can you update or fix an existing website I already have?
Often yes. Send me a link and a quick description of what you need — I'll let you know upfront whether I can help and roughly how long it should take. Edits are billed at the same $75 / first-hour rate.

Pricing & payment

How much does remote IT support cost?
$75 for the first hour, then $37.50 per additional 30 minutes. There is no upfront payment — you only pay once the issue is resolved.
What payment methods do you accept?
Major credit and debit cards, ACH, Venmo, and PayPal. Invoices are sent after the work is finished.
Do quotes change?
No. Quotes are firm — what I say is what you pay. If something turns out to be bigger than expected, I'll stop and re-quote before doing more work.

Service area

What areas do you serve?
Remote IT support and web design work anywhere in the U.S., but I'm based in St. Paul, NE and primarily serve Central Nebraska — including Grand Island, Kearney, Hastings, Columbus, and surrounding communities.
Can you help if I'm outside Nebraska?
Yes — anything that can be done remotely doesn't care where you are. Just send a message describing what you need.
