Tech tips
Useful stuff, no jargon
The 3-2-1 backup rule, in plain English
Hard drives fail, laptops get stolen and ransomware happens. Here is the simple rule that means you never lose what matters.
Read the tip5 reasons your computer is slow (and what to do)
Before you buy a new computer, check these. Most slow machines can be fixed for a lot less than a replacement.
Read the tipWhy your business emails land in spam
SPF, DKIM and DMARC sound like jargon, but they decide whether your invoices reach your customers. Here is what they do.
Read the tipAbout
Local, friendly, no jargon.
I'm Brad, and I've been the go-to tech person for family, friends and local businesses for years. Brad Does Tech makes that official.
Whether it's a laptop that won't boot, a small business that needs a proper website and email, or a home network that drops out every evening, I'll explain what's going on in plain English and get it fixed properly.
Calgary and area. Drop-off, on-site and remote help.
Common questions
Do you come to me?
Yes. I do on-site visits around Calgary, or you can drop off. A lot of software problems can be fixed remotely too.
How much does a repair cost?
It depends on the problem. I'll always tell you the cost before doing any work, and if it isn't worth fixing I'll say so.
Will I lose my files?
I back up your files before any work that could touch them. If your drive is failing, data recovery comes first.
Do you work with businesses?
Yes. Small offices, shops and home businesses: networks, email, websites, backups and ongoing support.
Where do you offer computer repair and IT support?
Calgary and the surrounding communities: Airdrie, Cochrane, Chestermere, Okotoks and nearby. I come to you, you can drop off in southeast Calgary, and a lot of problems can be fixed remotely from anywhere in Alberta.
Do you offer website hosting in Calgary?
Yes. BDT Hosting is managed website and business email hosting run by me here in Calgary. You get a person to call, free migration from your old host, daily backups and no contracts on monthly plans.
Can you fix a computer remotely?
Often, yes. Slow computers, virus cleanups, email problems, printer and software issues can usually be sorted over a secure remote session while you watch. If it turns out to be hardware, I will say so and we arrange an on-site visit or drop-off.
Do you help seniors and people who are not "techy"?
Very much so. I explain things in plain English, go at your pace and leave simple notes so you are not left guessing.
