Where do bloggers and website owners get technical support? Rachula Web Arts can help!
I can remember when I had my oldest daughter, back in 1999. That was the first time I’d ever heard the word “blog,” when my brother, always ahead of the techie curve, said to me, “You should start a blog!”
“What’s a blog?”
I’m never ahead of the techie curve, but that year, I started my first blog. I didn’t post often. I was a working mom with a new baby, but I did post at least one or two times, that I can remember.
Blogging and the internet and website design have come a long, long way. Now there are hundreds of “mom bloggers” out there and lots of other kinds of bloggers as well. Over the years, as my career has changed to fit my lifestyle, I’ve had the baby blog, a craft blog, a newspaper article blog and now this blog which encompasses it all, The Whole Bag of Chips.
And yet, I’m still not a techie type of person. I took some “blogger boot camp” types of courses while working with Stampin’ Up!, and I got some basics down then, but technology is constantly changing and it’s so hard to keep up, to truly understand what it is you’re doing or need to do unless you have a technical background. I sometimes will count on tech support for various issues I’m having, but sometimes even that isn’t what I need.
Enter Rachula Web Arts.
A friend of mine recently started her own technical support site, along with a friend of hers. Together, they provide bloggers and website owners with feedback, maintenance, answers to questions and suggestions for improving your existing platforms. Here’s what they write in their “About Us” section:
“We are a couple of user experience professionals focused on helping small businesses improve online presence and customer interaction.
We are not Web designers or graphic artists. We understand and are power users of IT tools. We help guide you in making sound decisions to make your Web tools useful, understandable, and appealing.
Here’s what we will do: We’ll talk with you and see where you think there are issues. We’ll advise you on possible remedies and suggest ways to get to know your customers better.
Here’s what we won’t do: We won’t throw a lot of jargon at you. We won’t send you a list of all the things you are doing wrong and make you feel like you don’t know your business.”
Sounds perfect, yes? It sounded exactly like what I could use myself, here at The Whole Bag of Chips.
Paula and Rachel took a look at my blog, gave me some feedback, answered my questions and helped me to understand features and benefits of my blogger dashboard that I didn’t even know existed. I was able to update my blog and make some changes based on their advice.
They have a whole menu of services at Rachula and you can see it here.
For now though, they’d like to help you!

My website(s) could use a major overhaul!!!! My personal blog is fine – I mean, I get no traffic, but it’s just my ramblings etc. But I have a group blog of women working toward healthy choices and I’d love to learn how to make it more visible to the world!!!!!!!
My group website, built by mamas and geared toward health and wellness in the real world, could definitely use an overhaul!!! No one sees it!!!!!!!
