I have worked with Russ for many years and have been consistently satisfied with an excellent level of support and advice. I have three business interests that he takes care of and in each case he tailors the product that he provides to meet our needs really well. Russ has maintained a loyal following as the businesses have come and gone over many years – the other followers, like me, wonder if such great service is really available elsewhere.
Russ was our consultant who helped us set our website up and was available with advice for every aspect of setting the site up.

This is great for keeping your equipment up and running, but sadly is useless for keeping your systems secure, ongoing security or detecting any issues you may have already as the service they are providing is not pro-active. They will only fix the specific issue you contacted them about and nothing else, so your unseen problems will continue to exist unheeded.
