Exciting Times
Avallach Technology is proud to announce that an agreement has been reached with Berry Digital Designs , that will enable us to work together and provide high value, affordable web solutions for small, home and micro businesses.
Both Avallach and BDD are Perth-based home businesses, with a shared vision of providing high quality solutions to the Work-at-Home sector who, traditionally, have found costs and time factors have prohibited them from taking full advantage of the Internet in their business.
With the unique combination of the design skills of Cassandra (BDD) and techie know-how of Gary (Avallach), we have been able to put together a solution that hits the mark in terms of value, without hitting you where it hurts. For full details, click here.
Exciting times indeed…
Getting Serious About Home Business
Home-based business operators (many of whom fall in the category of Work-at-Home Parents or WAHPs) have always been at the heart of the goals I set for Avallach Technology. At times this message has perhaps been watered down and confused due to the fuzzy borders between “home business” and “small business”.
With the new financial year well and truly underway here in Australia, it is a good time to re-assert our core values and objectives and to reinforce the message that Avallach Technology is here for “the little guy”.
In line with this, changes are underway to the site and the way in which our products and services are presented. While we DO still want to be of assistance to small business in general, offering individual services such as web hosting, it is time to stop falling into the trap of being “just another web provider with a list of services and still not really telling me what I need”.
I’m sure that will sound familiar to anyone who has spent any time researching the online options open to them!
I’d like to kick off this new era by unveiling our specific plans for “WAHPs”. With a vibrant work-at-home community here in Australia, and indeed worldwide, it is my intention that Avallach Technology will be more than a solution provider to these wonderfully hard-working people. Avallach needs to be a guide and technology “mentor” lighting the way for those who are STILL being told that they need to fork out thousands of dollars to get themselves online.
It is time for Avallach Technology to stand up for the things I personally believe in, and to give priority focus to those who need it most. As I “speak”, the final details are being put in place for an exciting innovation that will undoubtedly excite many WAHPs. With our new WAHP package we really will be setting new thresholds for low cost and maximum value – I can’t wait to tell you more!
My message to WAHPs is simple; keep fighting the good fight. As I have written previously, the future of business really is going to be shaped by the “cottage industry” rennaissance.

Total Web Solutions
With a slight change in our focus, a line has been drawn in the sand with a relaunch/revamp of this site. Avallach’s roots are in the provision of web hosting services, and while we will continue to offer high quality, great value hosting services, our main focus is now on enabling more and more small businesses to establish a presence online.
If you just want straightforward, affordable web hosting, then simply head over to http://www.avallach.net or http://www.avallach.net.au if you are looking for servers located in Australia.
If the thought of acquiring hosting, developing a site, uploading files and all that techie stuff leaves you cold, then the upcoming new services will probably be right up your street….
Watch this space!
