About

TechieDIY.com is primarily for entrepreneurs, small business owners, startups, and anyone interested in learning how to create the most effective business websites by path of least resistance. This is also a great resource for individuals who support small business websites for business owners.

Over our years of enterprise and online experience, we’ve found the fast path to creating websites that can fully support and evolve with a real business are built on flexible platforms such as Joomla and WordPress. On this site we help businesses quickly get up to speed and take full advantage of what these platforms have to offer.

The TechieDIY.com team is a small group of professionals with backgrounds in enterprise system integration and business analysis. We have consulted for, or have been employed in technical roles by brands such as AAA, Bank of the West, Charles Schwab, and many other lesser known companies.

We began TechieDIY.com because we are passionate about business and website technology, and quite honestly, serving a community of business owners and entrepreneurs is much more fun that working in corporate world!

We offer professional website services, such as website set up, custom programming, website security configurations, site reviews, and general consultation at hourly and flat rates. 

Keeping Our Fees Low

We understand that small business owners and startups may have tight budgets. To keep our service rates low, some links on our site are to affiliate programs we participate in. In other words, we may receive a referral fee for recommending a product or service to you.  Affiliate revenue also contributes to our research activities which enable us to maintain the high level of value our members receive from our site.

We at TechieDIY.com have a strict policy to never recommend any product or service we have not used, tested, or don’t believe in. Occasionally, we may recommend a product we may not have had a chance to use only when it is from a trusted authority that we have purchased from in the past and meets our standards for recommendation. For example, Perry Marshall has dozens of free and paid products, and we may never get through all of them. However, we feel comfortable recommending any of his products where appropriate because he has earned our trust.

We will always recommend what we believe is the best product or service regardless of whether there is a referral fee involved. That is why you find many links on our site to products that do not have affiliate programs and open source tools and services that are free to license.

We are very proud of our recommendation policy which is why we share it with you here instead of burying it in our privacy policy statement.

Speaking of links to 3rd parties, websites linked from TechieDIY.com are not owned by us, and we are not responsible for the operation or content of each web site. We cannot promise to fully support any products or services we recommend, though we will do our best to answer any questions you may have.
