What Bob does

We build powerful and flexible websites that small businesses can easily manage and maintain without knowing how to write code.

We have built website builder tools and add-on modules to allow creation of websites that can grow as needs change. We also build custom web applications, provide maintenance, hosting, email marketing and search engine marketing and optimization.

What Bob does best

Relate and emphasize with small business owners. Net Solutions North America was founded on the need to server small business. These user have been trapped between the do-it-yourself (including cousin Annie, Basement Bob, son, daughter or friend) and the professional web development companies whose prices were frequently out of reach and/or their services levels were just not responsive enough.

We knew that there was a huge market that was not being adequately served. We produce affordable web applications that can be maintained by the existing staff or our customers. And if they choose to have someone else handle their web marketing and maintenance needs, we provide full service for that as well.

Whatever the needs of small companies, we have products that will fit today's budgets and needs and be able to grow with them as these needs change.

From 1 man or woman shops to thousands of employees, we provide web application development to fit our client's specific needs affordably and efficiently.

What does Bob need?

We sell both retail and wholesale. We need more resellers. We provide a unique business opportunity for resellers who are not technology professionals but would like to be able to sell business to business or who already have a B2B relationship and want to add additional services to their clients.

We need marketing assistance to reach a wider audience. To date we have grown purely by word-of-mouth. We are now ready to expand our presence.

We need sales people who can make things happen.

We need great developers who can relate to small business owners and provide them with great applications that can be used by non-technical users with very little support required.

We need legal advice on how to best license our products and services as well as protect our IP.

Education

Bachelor's in Psychology. Master's degree from the school of hard knocks. Hard life lessons and experience from running my own companies in decorative lighting, computer hardware, commercial printing, and web application development. Intersperced with a few more lessons learned while working in IT staffing and for national computer hardware manufacturer.

Experience

Varied background in multiple industries provides me great insight into problems small businesses face. This coupled with the ability to use my life experiences to be able to see the world from the client's perspective and solve problems not just mask symptoms.

As a small businessman myself in multiple industries, I was frustrated at the costs of advertising and lack of marketing support for smaller companies with tight budgets. Being small means that you must be able to evaluate changes and react quickly. Many of the existing channels and associated products were not conducive to the need to be able to handle many of these functions internally.

As the CEO of Net Solutions North America, I conceived of a product that would allow small business owners to make real-time changes to their websites. Though there are many web application tools on the market, they tend to fall into two categories: too simple and too difficult. The too simple did not provide enough flexibility to produce first class web applications and be able to add pages, modify content, and add functionality. The too difficult allowed for lots of flexibility, but required the assistance of a developer to make them work for most companies.

We have spent the last 4 years developing and market testing with more than 1000 websites across almost every conceivable industry a web application tool that allows a custom site design with the flexibility of add-as-you-go modules and the ability to change the look and feel or add customizations as the business' needs change.

We provide complete turn-key solutions including search engine optimization and maintenance or the framework to do it yourself without the need to learn some complicated application or to write code. And everything in-between.

Whether your needs are for a custom application to help streamline your business or processes or something you can manage yourself, we have the experience to provide you robust applications that are intuitive and easy to use for both your site visitors and for the administration of your site.
