The Tech Guy Who Just
Wanted to Make a Simple Image
Let
me tell you a story. It starts like most modern business tales do: with way too
many browser tabs open, two half-drunk cups of coffee, a lifeless mouse (not
the rodent, the peripheral), and a guy muttering, “I just want to make a simple
promo image… is that too much to ask?”
Spoiler
alert: That guy was me.
Hi,
I’m Ted Hans, your neighborhood IT whisperer and the founder of Connect-A-Tech.
We fix the tech so you can get back to the stuff you actually care about. You
know, like running your business, serving your clients, and finally taking a
lunch break that doesn’t involve watching a spinning wheel of uncertainty on
your desktop.
This
blog isn’t about CPUs, motherboards, or how to overcome QuickBooks Online’s
quirks (although I could write volumes on that). Nope. This one’s about
something a little different:
Building a message that truly
connects.
Because here’s
the truth:
1.
You can be the best tech in the state…
2.
You can have amazing tools, smooth systems, and
dependable backups…
3.
But if your messaging misses the mark, you’ll
remain the best-kept secret in Castle Rock.
That’s where
this whole image project started. I wanted something that said exactly what
I do, at a glance. Something that would resonate with people right in the
business bone - that spot between the stress headache and the
“I-can’t-deal-with-this-right-now” moment.
Let’s break
down what came out of that coffee-fueled creative brainstorm.
Step 1: Cut the Fluff. Speak Human.
Most marketing
sounds like this:
“Our solutions
leverage synergistic efficiencies to streamline backend infrastructure at
scale.”
Let’s be real. No
one talks like that. I sure don’t. My clients don’t. And your brain probably
just hit the snooze button reading that sentence.
Here’s what I
landed on instead. Straightforward. Intuitive. Human.
·
Refocus on your passion
·
Reclaim control of your schedule
·
Reduce stress
·
Gain peace of mind
That’s it. That’s
the whole vibe.
It’s what I do. Not
just “tech support,” but time support. Life support. Headspace
support. I bring order to the digital clutter. I quiet the background
noise. I stop the endless loading icons in their tracks.
Then I added the
anchor:
And grow your
business.
Boom. Five words
that tie it all together.
Because when you’re
not dealing with tech frustrations every day, guess what? You get your hours
back. Your focus. Your growth.
Step 2: Marry the Message to the
Medium
Once I had the
message, I needed to wrap it in something visual - something that didn’t look
like a last-minute slideshow graphic. So I worked through some mockups, tossed
out the clichés, and got to work on a graphic that felt like Connect-A-Tech.
And I made sure it
passed the “Does this make my client nod immediately?” test.
Here’s how:
·
Big, bold headline: “Refocus. Reclaim.
Reduce. Gain.”
·
Clean layout, easy to scan - no walls of text
·
Real-world impact over tech jargon
·
My contact info front and center under
the logo
·
And yes… the tagline: “And grow your
business.”
This wasn’t just a
picture. It was a digital handshake. A bite-sized billboard. A yes, this is
it moment for the right client scrolling by.
Step 3: Carry the Voice to the
Website
What’s the point of
having a polished graphic if it leads to a site that feels like an instruction
manual from a past decade?
I took the same core
ideas from the image and expanded them into website promo copy that
makes you feel something. Not just “Hmm, this guy does tech,” but more like:
“YES. That. That’s
what I’ve been looking for. Where’s the contact button?”
Here’s a taste of
what’s now showing up on the site:
You didn’t start
your business to spend your days on hold with software vendors. You didn’t
dream about late nights solving printer issues, unexpected updates, or
disappearing files.
But here you are.
Another roadblock. Another technical challenge. Another day behind.
That’s where I come
in.
I’m not just a tech
guy. I’m your business’s backstage fixer. Your reliable pit crew. Your digital
clarity specialist.
At Connect-A-Tech,
I make sure your systems simply work so you can get back to what
matters:
·
Serving your clients
·
Growing your revenue
·
Taking that vacation you keep postponing
And I do it with
personality, precision, and a relentless passion for solving problems quickly.
Let’s clear the tech
clutter, once and for all. Let’s give you time back. Let’s grow your business.
Why This All Matters (More Than
You Think)
Now, you might be
thinking: “Cool story, Ted. But what’s this got to do with me?”
Simple:
·
If you’re running a business and your tech is
draining your energy instead of amplifying your productivity, you’re losing
more than time.
·
And even more than that? You might be feeling
overwhelmed.
It doesn’t have
to be that way.
You don’t have to
“just deal with it” anymore. There’s a better path. And yes, it starts with a
better message.
Because when your
IT works, everything else gets smoother.
When you hand off
the digital overwhelm to someone who thrives in that space (hi, that’s me), you
stop reacting and start progressing.
Final Words (And a Shameless Plug)
This started with a
single image. A few phrases. A mission to communicate what Connect-A-Tech really
does for real people like you.
But it turned into
something bigger: a sharper brand, a clearer message, and a powerful reminder:
Marketing isn’t about
making noise. It’s about showing up with a voice that says “I see you, I
understand you, and I’ve got your back.”
If you’re ready to:
·
Stop wearing the IT hat every day
·
Reclaim control of your schedule
·
Finally feel like your systems are fueling your
mission, not slowing it down…
Then let’s talk.
I’m right here in Castle
Rock, CO and your neck of the woods. One call. One email. One support ticket away
from elevating your tech.
