Thanks for visiting www.pjwright.com.

I develop database solutions and design Internet websites and intranet sites that comply with the accepted rules (see the W3C buttons below, many web sites don't comply).

My background is I.T. Management, Networks, Hardware (Desktop) Installation / Maintenance and User Support; so I can provide jargon-free advice and consultancy in these areas.

I'm also interested in open source applications as they often provide cost-effective and high-quality solutions to business needs.

If you have a requirement for IT Consultancy, Website Design, or Database Development please read below, or see the links above to find out more about me and the services I can provide.  You can also contact me detailing your wishes and I will get back to you promptly.

To get some help using this site, and/or read a little more about how I may be able to help you, please read on below...

So, how may I be able to help you?  A full list of the services I offer can be seen by visiting the links in the Services menu above.

Consultancy

Perhaps you're setting up a new business?  Or perhaps you're buying a computer to get connected to the Internet at home, perhaps you'd like to use it to help manage your household finances?  Whatever the purpose, I can give you advice about what hardware to buy, how to network your computers (if required) how to share data securely and which companies/manufacturers you may want to avoid.

I can also help you to choose the right software for your computer(s), which is not only extremely important for your productivity, but the wrong choices made at the start can potentially cost you a lot of money, in initial costs and future upgrade/licensing fees.

Even if you already have an established business, with the right advice, you can still save hundreds, even thousands of pounds (even if it's a small business!) on upgrade/licensing fees - without making compromises over compatibility or productivity.

Another important consideration when choosing software is the security of your data.  Firewalls, Anti-Virus programs and more recently Anti-Spam programs are vital for maintaining your computer(s) in optimal working order, and ensuring that your data will be safe from crackers and other undesirable "snoopers".

Firewalls, Anti-Virus and Anti-Spam software can cost a lot of money, and some people will try to get you to subscribe to fairly inexpensive (but regular) payments.  I can advise you on how to avoid paying over the odds for this software.

Often neglected until it's too late, I can advise you on a suitable backup solution for your important data.

Websites

Whether you have a business, club, charity, or just a really interesting life, you may want a website, but don't know how to make it look quite right.  I can design a site for you that is consistent and easy to browse.  I can also advise you on the type of content you may want to include, and what to avoid.

Also, although opinions vary (even among experts) about what the best method for rising up Search Engine results is, I can advise you on some of the things that may improve your chances of increased website traffic.

I can also provide other website services, such as website hosting, setup of email (including additional services such as spam filtering) and setup of a Shopping Cart and/or online payment system.

Even if you want to design and/or maintain your website yourself, I can give you some tips on things that will improve your site technically and for your visitors, and advise you on how to choose a suitable Internet Service Provider (ISP).  Find out more.

Databases

Many people use spreadsheets to enter their information.  Some recognize the limitations of this approach, others feel that a spreadsheet is adequate for their needs.

While it's true that spreadsheets can be very powerful and useful (I use numerous spreadsheets every day) they are not the best tool for entry and retrieval of repetitive structured data.

So, if you are for example creating invoices, or recording orders, on a spreadsheet, you may like to consider the benefits of entering and storing this information in a database.

I can probably advise you on how to make your use of spreadsheets more efficient, but I also have experience designing and maintaining databases for a variety of uses, including recording and managing contact details, running a Transport Company, producing invoices and analysing turnover information.  Find out more.

Training

Although I don't provide computer training myself, I can either...

• provide you with training materials from qualified trainers
• arrange for on-site training

...in many areas of computer literacy and productivity.

General terms, pricing and more detail about these services can be found by following the links in the menu bar above.  I may also be able to create a free specific quote for your project(s) - depending on how detailed the requirements you provide are.  Please contact me to discuss your requirements.
