Fern Wood Computer Services. Serving the Mid-Ohio Valley since 2000.

 

have been working on computers since 1989. Working first with DOS programs and databases in the business I was in, I quickly purchased an old APPLE and huge computer to tinker with at home. By the mid 90's I was ready to get serious.

Today I build sites in Java, PHP, HTML and CGI:PERL. Although I can write code I tend to lean into the great open source community for the bulk of my code,where not only I can contribute back to the community with my bits of code but my clients benefit from the reduced cost of using open source.I install and customize shopping carts and content management systems that give the customer freedom if he or she wants it) to update their own site

 

Attention: Special Note on copyright statements on sites. My company has operated under Settle Visual Productions, Fern Wood and Fern Wood Computer Services. I still own any and all copyrights under these names.

What is your computer need?

Websites or Computer Services you can count on us for fair pricing and dependable service. My service is based on need and personal preference.

I have programs that I prefer over others and I have experience that backs up my preferences, but I want the client to participate as much as possible. Even if you don't know your computer that well, you can still make solid decisions about the look and feel of programs. All you need is someone explaining the process in layman terms.

Computer support and Website Designers  all have their own level of expertise. We each have programs and platforms that we are expert or certified in. No one can know it all, but I have met a few who think they do!

I am certified in many areas of the technology field, but please visit the different links that show what I am best at. First and Foremost, I am a Windows Platform Expert. I have worked on Microsoft products since DOS. Therefore, I would not be a good person to call for a Unix System or a MAC (Apple). However I can provide information regarding these items if you are considering them.
