Work is in progress on the site, but is nearing the end: OffsiteServices.net is reaching final completion, after a long gestation. I’ll be blogging about Open Source software, Linux, Web design, Web technologies and other related stuff.

I’ll also be offering and operating my consultancy and technical support services in Web design, content management, search engine optimization, site promotion, Web development and server administration, copy writing, copy editing and proofreading, copy development, graphic design and editing, Web marketing and business promotion, content translation and localization, website translation and localization, technical documentation development and translation, and general Web consultancy.

Internationalization and localization services for English, French and other languages, for Web applications, Open Source software and commercially-developed software are among my specialties as a long-experienced language and documentation professional.

Building and maintaining an online business, persona and presence using Web 2.0 services and features, including cloud computing, and applying all that to practically giving you a Web-based business or a Web-based extension to an existing business or organization are themes that I’ll be covering, and for which I can offer you affordable professional services.

For NGOs, charities, non-profit organizations, Open Source projects and other worthy causes, I can do pro bono work depending on time and availability.

I am particularly interested in mobility, simplicity, communications, security, competitive advantages and survivability for micro-enterprises and SOHOs.

You’ll find information, commentary and news about developing and operating Web sites, servers (physical or VPS) and applications, and you can communicate and collaborate live with a freelance Web professional, whether you’re a corporate customer, small business or single owner/operator, or simply someone who wants to set-up a personal Web site or blog.
