    Description/Abstract:
    Extreme Makeover: Tech Edition is an initiative to help a small business develop a technology presence. According to the Small Business Administration, approximately 33% of all small business owners are 35-49 years old and 51% are 50-88 years old. Studies, such as the “Older Adults and Technology Use” study conducted by Pew Research Center, have shown that the majority of older adults need assistance when learning new technology. At the rate that technology progresses, some business owners do not know where to start. The owner of Four Source Restoration and Remodeling fell into this category. Kelly Winhoven is a 48-year-old, small business owner with limited technology skills. Winhoven was looking for a way to improve the technology within his small business. Our team partnered with him to achieve this goal. We created a website to enhance and increase customer engagement. We built a database to organize the data structure to ease management and optimize data. We secured the company’s network and devices to protect the company from threats and vulnerabilities. We also modernized the company’s logo and gave them a social media presence. All these factors came together to create a full business technology makeover for Four Source Restoration and Remodeling.
