Elizabeth Olson’s Experience

• Co-Owner: Website Designer, Technical Writer, Technical Editor

  Precision Computing Arts, Inc.

  (Information Technology and Services industry)

  1997 — Present (12 years )

  I create attractive, easy-to-use, customer-maintainable websites -- quickly and affordably.
  
  I take the pain out of developing and maintaining websites so that small business owners and non-profits can focus on what they do best.
  
  My websites look professional, perform well, and bring new and repeat business to my customers, many of whom come to me after trying to create their own websites or after other website companies fail them.
  
  Can you introduce me to a small business owner or non-profit who needs a website or who needs a website makeover?
  
  Specializing in:
  * Website design, setup & management
  * Website makeovers
  * Technical writing and editing
  * Computer training for non-technical learners
