Local · Plain English · Gear you can own
Software companies want to be your landlord. We want to be your builders.
A landlord charges you every single month just to keep your digital doors open. A builder hands you the keys, and the place is yours. If you want to add a front porch or change a room later, give us a call. Otherwise, enjoy your space without the monthly bill.
It’s your shop, but with a TWIZT. We’re a local small business based in Bonne Terre, St. Francois County, Missouri—home office here, projects across the county and nearby—and we think you should own what you pay for.
You know how Google, Apple, and Amazon quietly turn into a monthly subscription you can’t get out of? We help you take your photos and files back, store them safely in your own house, and make sure you actually own them—all without needing a degree in computer science.
It’s your household, but with a TWIZT: you buy the gear once, you own it forever, and the monthly fees stop.
We set everything up for you and explain it in plain English. When we’re done, you’ll get a simple, physical map showing exactly where your data lives. If you ever need to open your settings, it will actually make sense.
One-time setup. No monthly fees. We come in, fix the problem, show you how to use it, and hand you a cheat sheet. When we walk away, it works. We don’t charge a monthly retainer, and you don’t have to call us every time your phone updates.
Straightforward setups you can run day to day—built with independent tools and plain language.
Built with open tools where it helps—so your family isn’t stuck renting every photo forever.
You shouldn’t have to pay a perpetual subscription just to exist online. We build simple, professional websites that are “one and done.” You can post updates and change your prices whenever you want, without paying a monthly developer fee. Because we use independent, open-source tools, your domain name and website files stay completely yours.
Want to turn a TV or tablet you already own into a digital menu board, a calendar, or a rotating photo loop? Whether it’s a menu behind a bar or a schedule display in an office, we can set it up to run smoothly. It runs completely independent of your point-of-sale system, keeping your business data safe.

Preview your site, leave notes, and approve everything before we point your domain at it. When we’re done, you get a clear digital blueprint in plain English—how the pieces fit—so you can make updates yourself or hand it to any tech later, without a mandatory monthly support plan.
If you bought movies and TV shows over the years, you shouldn’t have to juggle five different apps just to find something to watch on a Friday night. We organize your digital media into one clean menu that anyone in the house can use, completely independent of Apple, Amazon, or Google.
Instead of your family memories hiding behind a “Buy More Cloud Storage” popup, we help you keep them somewhere you can physically point to—like a drive on your office desk. No surprise monthly charges, and a clear answer when someone asks where an old home video went.
If you have old laptops or dusty hard drives sitting in a closet, we can rescue the files off them. We bring the right cables, plenty of patience, and copy your old photos and documents over to your new PC, phone, or a fresh backup drive. (If the drive is physically smashed or completely dead, we’ll help you find a specialized data recovery lab.)
When we leave, you get a short, printed guide written in everyday language. It maps out your Wi‑Fi, your backups, and your smart home devices so you know exactly what talks to what. You can use it to manage things yourself, or hand it to a tech-savvy grandkid without having to explain everything from scratch.
We work fast, but we don’t cut corners. We’ve streamlined the technical side so you get a straight line to launching your project. When we hand the keys over, we don’t leave you staring at a blank dashboard—we handle the heavy lifting, leaving only the essential business details for you to finalize.
We focus entirely on what’s annoying you today—whether that’s messy photo storage, dead Wi‑Fi spots, or confusing bills. We fix things quickly without disrupting your daily routine, and we make sure you know how to control your system without forcing you to learn tech jargon.
We talk for about 20 minutes about what you sell, who your customers are, and what you want people to know. No slide decks, no boring corporate presentations.
We spend about 20 minutes talking about your setup, what you back up, and what drives you crazy about your home tech. We just take normal notes—no pitch decks, no sales pitches.
We build your website (and set up any display hardware you need) so that it sounds like your business and fits how your shop actually operates day-to-day.
We put together a straightforward plan. We’ll show you what can safely stay on Google or iCloud if you like the convenience, what needs a physical backup that you control, and what you can safely ignore.
You review everything in a private online preview, give us your honest feedback, and we make the adjustments. We agree on the final layout so everyone knows exactly what to expect.
You look over the plan and ask us any blunt questions you have. We adjust things until the whole family feels comfortable using it.
We launch on your domain and hand over your digital blueprint along with a quick training walkthrough—so you can make minor updates yourself without waiting around for a developer to call you back.
We do the heavy lifting and set it all up. Then, we walk you through the controls that actually matter and leave behind your personalized cheat sheet.
A tech platform didn’t build your business. You did. Your online presence should look and feel like your actual shop—and the tools behind it shouldn’t feel like a permanent tax on your hard work.
Apple and Google didn’t raise your family. You did. Passing down your family photos shouldn’t require tracking down an old password nobody remembers or dealing with a locked email account.
No software landlords: We build with reliable tools maintained by the public, not a single software giant. Because there’s no vendor locking you into a contract, you own your tech outright from day one.
No corporate lock-in: We use reliable, independent tools that belong to the public, not a single massive tech company. That means your logins and files stay yours, even if a company goes out of business or raises its prices.
No technical jargon: You don’t need to be a computer whiz to get the benefits of open-source software. We translate the complex stuff, handle the installation, and hand you a plain-language guide so your tools work for your business, not the other way around.
No coding required: You don’t need to know how to code or use a command line. We handle the technical setup and hand you a simple guide so your tech works for your house, not the other way around.
Built to last: We use stable software backed by global developer communities. If your business grows or you want to change direction later, your system’s blueprints are open and easy for any IT professional to read and modify.
Built to last: We use software that is maintained by global communities of developers. If you ever want to expand your setup or hire someone else to change it down the road, the blueprints are entirely open and easy for any professional to read.
Honest advice: Our only goal is to keep you in control of your business. If a paid, subscription-based service genuinely makes the most sense for your workflow, we will tell you straight up—but we will always favor solutions where you buy your tools once and keep them.

Clear lane · your register stays yours
Stable · safe · legal
We want your shop to grow and your network to stay secure. To keep things entirely transparent, here are the business tech areas we do not handle:
We want your home network to be stable, safe, and entirely legal. To keep things clear, here are a few things we do not do:
We do not sell point-of-sale systems, reprogram register terminals, or manage your physical, in-store card processors. Whatever hardware your merchant provider installed at the counter stays strictly between you and them.
If you need your website to accept online orders, deposits, or invoices, we can safely set up secure payment links (using services like Stripe). That keeps your customers paying online without credit card numbers ever touching or being stored on your local website server.
We are not electricians. Plug-in devices—TVs, tablets, smart plugs, shelf PCs—are fine for us to set up and configure. Anything that needs a licensed professional (new circuits, panel work, in-wall wiring, hardwired installs) is out of scope.
We don’t negotiate your Comcast or AT&T bills, fight your cable company, or put our name on your accounts. We’ll happily recommend the right routers and wire up your house, but your contract with your internet provider stays between you and them.
We won’t build setups whose purpose is to bootleg copyrighted content or bypass commercial terms you signed. Setting up access to public domain archives (like the Internet Archive), organizing personal media you already own, or enabling ad-blocking for privacy? Yes. Building automated pirate networks? No.

Whether you need a clean website that doesn’t cost a monthly fee, a digital menu board for your wall, or just want to talk through the options in plain English—we’d rather have an honest conversation than guess what you need.
Whether you’re drowning in “Storage Full” notifications, tired of patchy Wi‑Fi, trying to get files off a 10-year-old computer, or just want someone to explain your options in normal English—we’re here to help.
Almost all of our business projects are one-time setups, not ongoing subscriptions.
