About
Start with the problem. Build the solution that fits.

Hi, I'm Marylou. I've spent 27 years in software, and one thing I've learned is that people don't always know what they need. They know there has to be an easier way.
That's where I come in. I ask questions, figure out what's taking too much time or causing frustration, research the options, and help decide what makes sense.
That might mean building a website, finding better software, simplifying how something gets done, or figuring out why the printer suddenly stopped working.
I've spent much of my career helping build software with a focus on the people using it. I've learned to spot problems before they become expensive, make complicated technology easier to understand, and build things people can use and maintain.
I've also watched too many small business owners lose access to their own websites, domains, accounts, and social media because someone else set everything up. A friend built the website. A relative created the Facebook page. A freelancer registered the domain. Then life happened, relationships changed, passwords disappeared, and the business owner was left trying to piece everything back together.
Your business should belong to you.
That belief is a big part of Built With You.
I can do the work for you or teach you how to do it yourself. Websites, marketing, social media, AI, or finding ways to eliminate repetitive tasks. If you want to learn, we'll use your own business as the classroom.
I want you to understand what you have, have control over it, and know you can call me when you need help.
Technology should feel like a tool, not another job.
That's what Built With You is all about.
Principles
How Built With You works.
Keep it simple.
Technology should solve problems, not create them.
Plain language.
You'll always understand what is being built and why.
Progress beats perfection.
Small, steady improvements usually outperform big overhauls.
Use AI with purpose.
The goal isn't more AI. It's more time for your business.
