Hypnotherapist & Reiki Master, Leslie McGeagh Hypnosis
Natasha has worked on a number of projects for me, including rebuilding my website, setting up my Shopify page to sell my digital products, and setting up and migrating me from Paperbell to Jane online client booking system.
Natasha was absolutely amazing, taking time to determine my needs, making recommendations, and ensuring that she wasn’t simply providing me with what I wanted, but what I needed also.
I am not very tech-minded, however,
I felt completely at ease
knowing that Natasha knows her stuff, and if she doesn’t know something, she researches it to ensure she is providing the best possible solution for my needs.
If you need any kind of tech services, I would highly recommend Natasha!

I started my online math tutoring business nearly 10 years ago and to say I was overwhelmed is an understatement!
As a student with no money to hire support, I took to Google and researched the sh*t out of anything I needed to know – and while that worked for my nerdy tech brain, I do NOT recommend starting a business this way ?
But I promise you there’s a way. I’ve put my nerdy tech brain to work setting up the systems, for myself and others, and I 100% believe that having the right systems in place for the way your business and brain work is not a luxury but a necessity.
Sci-fi nerd
coffee connoisseur
and your biz tech bestie
And here are 6 more things you should know about me!
In the past 10 years, I’ve:
- become a certified high school math teacher,
- lived & worked in another country,
- built 3 versions of my tutoring website from scratch (version 4 is in progress),
- bulldozed my way through 3 client portal systems until I recently got fed up and built my own with Airtable,
- have served 30+ tutoring clients in the past 2 years,
- and am currently learning JavaScript for fun, because why not?
I Believe,
that you shouldn’t have to be a software engineer or write a single line of code to share your brilliance and business with the world.
That’s why I’m here to help you build out, strategize, and optimize your tech… without forcing you to become an I.T. professional with a degree in technobabble. ?
If you’re looking for done-for-you automations, simple website design, or tech support for a project you’re working on, welcome.
Your business is about to get real easy.

FAQs
General
A tech VA will usually want a retainer or a preset bundle of hours per month. Something that’s likely difficult for newer businesses who don’t have the money AND don’t know what work they should even be giving a VA.
I’m a bit of a research nut and a tech strategy whiz, so I’m pretty good at telling folks that they don’t actually need that much tech in the first place. Overcomplicating the tech is probably mistake number 1 for small businesses (especially new ones).
Have you ever purchased a DIY course to learn a new thing (tech or otherwise) and then spent countless hours attempting to apply what you learned to your unique use case? …All because DIY has got to be cheaper than hiring someone.
Here’s the thing, DIY is unequivocally NOT cheaper.
Back when I decided to start my first side hustle in 2015, and as a student with no money, I DIYed everything.
I spent thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours on DIY courses, programs, and products. I learned and tried countless different business software tools, copywriting and marketing strategies, BUT I barely had any time leftover to actually run my business.
If I had to do it all over again, I’d probably still learn and try all the tech tools out there, because I love all things tech. I enjoy tinkering and learning new tools and coding languages. For me, it’s FUN.
But, I’d invest in help for all the things I could learn but don’t enjoy, like copywriting and marketing. Because, having a specialist do the things I hate, means 1) I don’t have to do them, 2) I spend far less time and money learning a skill I don’t enjoy when I could spend it growing and running the business instead.
You know you need a tech person on your team when your tech is the biggest thing on your “avoid doing” to-do list.
I have experience with many of the common tools used by online businesses. You can see a list of tools I’m familiar with above. If the tool you use isn’t listed, shoot me a DM on LinkedIn to see if it’s something I can help you with.
I’m a “let’s have a chat” type of person, so we’ll hop on a no-pressure discovery call and chat about your business’ tech goals. Basically, we’ll chat about what your needs are and what’s possible to see if we’re a good fit.
Project timelines vary, but will typically be between 1 day – 3 weeks. Once we’ve had our initial call, I’ll put together a project proposal that includes estimated pricing and timelines.
I only take on one DFY project at a time to ensure I’m able to give it my full focus and attention. Project timelines vary, but will typically be between 1 day – 3 weeks. In general, I’d recommend reaching out 2-3 weeks in advance, but the best way to get my current availability is to shoot me a DM on LinkedIn or book a call.
My Phone a Geek tech support calls are booked on an as-needed basis and you can usually find a spot on my calendar within a week or two.
Yes, I’ll happily put a payment plan together for you in the project proposal – just make sure to mention you want one!

But in general, pricing starts at:
$400 – for a short project that can be done in a day (up to 8hrs of work)

Your custom project quote will depend on scope.
But in general, pricing starts at:
$500 – for a one-page website setup using a design template OR a website refresh
$1,000 – for a fully custom one-page website design and setup in WordPress
$2,500 – for a multi-page website (pricing increases with level of customization and number of pages)
All pricing is in Canadian dollars.
Please note: you will have additional costs for the hosting & plugins used to build your site.
Short answer: No.
Branding: If you have some branding in place already, I’ll happily create a Brand Guide for you for an additional fee.
Copy: I can recommend some excellent copywriters! Seriously, I have quite a few in my back pocket, many of whom have written or helped write my own copy for both my businesses.
If you need a copywriter or brand designer before you’re ready for your website build, shoot me a DM on LinkedIn and I’ll happily send over my recommendations!
Absolutely! No matter your industry, I have quite a few copywriters in my back pocket, many of whom have written or helped write my own copy for both my businesses. If you need a copywriter or brand designer before you’re ready for your website build, shoot me a DM on LinkedIn and I’ll happily send over my recommendations!
I provide education on how to make minor content updates to your site as part of your work with me. If you need larger updates or you just don’t want to do it yourself, I’ll be available to hire at an hourly rate to assist you.
A web designer is really expensive typically and most small businesses don’t need a large fancy site, they just need the basics up and running.
Finally, given that you’ve come all the way down here, I’m guessing that you agree with me about the following:
Smooth and effective tech solutions can absolutely upgrade your business so that it feels:
✅ Next-level professional
✅ Efficient & hands-off
✅ Mega streamlined
✅ Like everything is just working
