For both Joomla and APF I offer professional support services. Over the years that I have been working with computers and the Internet I have gained quite a bit of experience of installing, upgrading and support scripts. I have done my fair share of troubleshooting (or is it trouble-shooting) script problems and I have dabbled in my own little programming projects.
I can help you with the installation and maintenance of Joomla (plus components modules, mambots and templates) and of Amazon Products Feed - details of both script can be found elsewhere on this site if you are unfamiliar with either script.
On occassion and at my discretion I may consider the possibility of installing or upgrading other scripts - but due to the obviously open ended nature of such an undertaking I can claim no specific knowledge of other scripts. I can of course apply the generic knowledge I possess to the process and I am as you might expect from someone who calls himself a PC consultant quite capable of following a set of instructions. If you require support with a script and you are in need of help, then by all means drop my a line - it doesn't cost anything to ask.
APF Installation:
Basic installation:
If you just don't have the knowledge and/or skills to install MrRat's Amazon Products feed yourself but you want to get in on the excitement of running your own online Amazon store then this is the option for you.
For a flat rate of £ 15 (or $25 if you prefer) I will install MrRat's APF for you.
Troubleshooting installation:
If you have tried installing APF and for any reason it will not install and/or gives you errors then this is the option for you. £25 (or $40). I will get the script up and running OR should a server configuration issue absolutely prevent successful operation of the script I will pass on as much information as possible to you to enable you to communicate meaningfully with your host's technical support department.
APF and APF Bridge Installation:
If you already have a copy of Joomla installed and operational then I can install my Amazon Products Feed Bridge Joomla component for you then I offer the following services. Note: The component does NOT work alone - it requires a copy of MrRat's APF installing on the same server.
- £15 ($25 if you prefer) - if you already have MrRat's APF script installed
- £25 ($40 if you prefer ) - if you wish me to install MrRat's script at the same time.
Joomla Installation:
For a small consideration I will install Joomla for you. I can also advise you on additional components that you may require as well as template setup should you want to make your site stand out from the crowd.
£30 ($50 if you prefer)

Joomla Trouble-shooting
Without wishing to sound immodest - I myself am a recognised Joomla troubleshooting expert. If you look around the official Joomla forums, or at the JoomlaShack.com forums you don't have to look very far before you will start tripping over posts made by me. I find people with problems and I help them find a solution. I have also contributed a number of FAQs.
If you have a Joomla related problem I aim to help whether it is a presentation issue, a database issue, server configuration issue or just Joomla settings.
£30 ($50) for jobs taking up to half hour.
£45 ($75) for jobs taking one hour - subsequent hours at £45 ($75).
