PC Repair Rates:
Before any repairs are done, I will present you with a written estimate which includes the estimated total cost, and when you can expect to have your device returned to you.
Below are my hourly rates and some packages available to give you an idea of how much you might spend.
Apple product repair may be available, but rates will be slgihtly different.
Basic Hourly Rates:
- Basic Training: $70/hour
- - This training covers basic web browsing, word processing, email, tutorials for Windows (XP, Vista, 7, and 8) Mac.
-Have a few friends who all want to learn? I charge an additional $15 per student per hour. Arrangements must be made in advance if more than 3 students are expected. I find more than 5 students per teacher lessens the learning potential, so I bring in additional instructors for larger classes. - Advanced Training: $90/hour
- - This training covers uncommon software, web site maintenence, or other advanced concepts.
- Programming/Application Debugging: $115/hour
- - This rate covers building a new web application, bringing a site up to security standards, finishing a partially complete program or other custom programming.
- Technical Consultation: $70/hour
- - Are you planning to make a purchase in the near future? Have an idea for a website, but are not sure what steps to take next? Have you put your computer on the shelf because it's just not working for you?
- This does not include training, but assessing your current situation, and recommending a course of action, answering your technical questions.
