He stopped visiting and teaching IT five years ago so that he could concentrate on his favorite occupation, designing websites. To avoid disappointing his former clients, he launched his free computer help website, Coly Computer Help. He also writes a monthly computer help page in a local magazine.Adrian has produced and maintained websites for 15 years through his website-design business, AM Web Design.
