Computer help needed. Can anyone recommend a Mac-proficient person who does website changes and updates for a reasonable hourly rate?

Call Latitude 34 Technologies and they will point you in the right direction. 805-275-2386

Why is Mac proficiency a requirement? Anyone can do website changes on a Mac or a PC.

Brian Bailey. 455-3164. Nicest guy in the world, and quite Mac proficient!

Latitude 34 is a good lead; Paul Avolio is a good computer pro, 275-2386. Ed Togami, etogami@silcom.com, Steve Frey, sfrey@avatarcomputing.com, or Harold Adams, harold@sblife.com, are all well respected Mac consultants with decades of experience. MacMechanic probably can recommend consultants too.

Mac consultants are often different from web programmers. You'll need to specify what you need help with. Reasonable hourly rates start at $60-90/hour for competent help. You probably can hire a kid for cheaper, but you're trying your luck at that time.

The OP probably needs a Mac person to build an iOS specific site without Flash. Because well you know the late Steve Jobs hated Flash even though over 60% of the online sites use it.

To 390 - no need to be argumentative. This person just needs someone to help them.

I'd be interested in knowing what's a "reasonable hourly rate" for web updating; when you find someone would you post back what the going rates for such are? "Consultants" seem to be very varied in price from initially free to #125/hour, which latter I do not consider "reasonable."

285481 - Relax. I do web design / updates and have never used a Mac, and have no idea why it's a requirement.

Call the Computer Department at UCSB or SBCC. Seek a recommendation.

Post an ad on Edhat and another at www.SantaBarbara.CraigsList.org.

The posting board at the Courthouse' Law Library may have various appropriate business cards. MacMechanic, too. Also most private postal services.

Google your question! :-)

Web designers who do a good job test their work with a lot of diffrent browsers, but not usually with different operating systems. The whole idea of internet protocols was that they were supposed to be independant of the device used to load them.

That having been said, a particular browser, e.g. Firefox for Mac and Firefox for Widows will work a little differently from each other and that can create issues with pages loading properly on every machine. A good web designer knows how the avoid these potential glitches.

Sadly, there are a lot of bad web designers out there. Go with a good web designer, and their results should work fine with any computer and web browser.
