I have just set up a new PC with Windows Small Business Server 2003 installed on it. Required for a new e-commerce site that is being built for our company.

I would like an IT person to come in and basically check that its all setup correctly, perhaps offer a couple of hours training as this software is alien to me, and maybe then continue an ongoing support relationship with us.

If anyone is based near Luton, Bedfordshire and would like to quote for such a job please give me a shout.

Thanks.

Hiya,

I run a small consultancy firm up in Newcastle, I'd be happy to have a chat over the phone FOC to make sure you're on the right track. If you decide to take things further we'd be happy to quote.

We also do remote support contracts to keep things working smoothly

I use the action pack, but there may be better ways

You can get MySql and PHP to run with IIS I have done this on a xp pro machine to play with and it worked lovely. This wouldnt cost you anything but a bit of time to get it working as obviously they are both open source.

If that helps
