Services

Note: Yes, I'm going to give you the names of some of my competitors. Throughout my life, however, I have seldom given just a blanket recommendation to a company, whether it's for cars or food. Company personnel can be transient. But, I do recommend the names of those people who I believe have integrity, honesty, and do good work. Listed below, their names are email links.

Al Harberg - For software developers he is the last word in press releases. We have very similar styles. And I know that Al maintains very good lists for distribution. I respect him so much, that while I still write most of my own press releases for my clients, I have all of them distributed by Al. If you're looking to have a press release done, look no further.

Martha Seward - does Web site promotions, software distribution, link verification, search engine ranking reports, and online software fulfillment. Extremely hard-working and very thorough.

Dave Collins - does software distribution, search engine work, newsgroup postings, Web log analysis, link popularity, ezine exposure, and more. Extremely hard-working and very thorough.

Harold Holmes - does excellent graphics work. He has made nearly all of the graphics used on my Web pages and many others. Also very reasonable.

 Please note: The people listed above and I all know and respect each other. We refer clients to one another. Please do not attempt to get me into a "bidding war" with any of these people. I will not participate.


Beneficial Links

Software Marketing Resource - Created by my friend and fellow SIAF board member, Sharon Housely, this is a great place for developers to get information about press releases, services, various newsgroups, and lots, lots, more. Highly recommended.

SwiftCD - is a wonderful service that lets even small software developers provide their products on CD. No setup fees or minimum numbers. The company can handle everything from the sale all the way to the delivery to the customer. And, each CD can contain different materials. Recommended.


Computers and Accessories

For the past 10 years I've had all of my computers custom-built by GECS. In this way I get exactly what I want, for a price that's reasonable. Greg knows his business and keeps up on all the latest technology. Whether you want a high-powered gaming machine or you're on a budget and looking for an inexpensive machine, GECS can provide a computer that's just right for you. Click anywhere on the graphic and you can go and build the custom computer that's right for you.
