Steve's IT
In the time since I started doing IT work, one question has been coming up a few times – Do you offer web design? Well, I have been working on this a bit, and I am pleased to announce that I can now provide you with a new website for your business. I can look after everything that you need to get going – obviously the website itself, but also the hosting, getting the best domain name possible, and making sure your website files are safe, including having current backups of those files. I will try to offer this along with all products and services already available at the best value I can. Please contact me for details – Steve @ 204-216-0324 or visit stevesit.ca
