Home - Word For Businesses

Hi, I'm Russ, and I save organizations $50,000+ per year through Microsoft Word template redesign and custom Word training.

"It is a joy to work with Word..."

(I bet you’ve never heard that before!)

“I must admit, it is a joy to work on a docx file that is setup properly. I know it does sound funny when someone says it is a JOY to work with Word.

(Jan Kampman, Mulder Kampman)

What would saving $50,000 per year mean for you?

That’s exactly what I did for Colby…

“Makes me reconsider what 5 stars means for everyone else I’ve worked with… Teach a man to fish… Couldn’t recommend Russ more highly.”

"I cannot recommend this man highly enough."

When you crack Word’s code, the rest is easy…

“Working with Russ answers once and for all, “what’s the difference between working with a professional/specialist vs an amateur/generalist?…I cannot recommend this man highly enough.”

"A joy to work with..."

And that’s always my goal.

“I have had the pleasure of working with Russ several times. He has fast become my go-to resource for all my MS Word issues. I have found him to be professional, collaborative and a joy to work with. I cannot say enough great things.”

(Jonty Yamisha, OptiLingo)

"Fixed it overnight."

(Admittedly, other jobs can take a little longer…)

“Russ was awesome. Our issue in Word has driven us crazy for about 2 years and Russ fixed it overnight.”

(Bonita Corey)

"...An impossible task made incredibly successful..."

It helps to know exactly how Word works.

“Amazing freelancer. Russ has forgot more about WORD than I’ll ever be able to learn. He took what could have been an impossible task and made it incredibly successful.”

(Timothy Lee Montague, Innovatory Consulting)

"Outstanding work..."

Clear and frequent communication underpins everything.

“Russ did outstanding work, with clear communication and timely responses – a wonderful experience and a great outcome. Thanks.”

(Simon Leyton, Morris and Chapman)

"A true professional..."

My aim is to provide you with the best.

“Russ delivered a perfect final product right on schedule. Along the way he was patient, understanding, courteous, and extremely resourceful in getting problems solved. I am 100% satisfied with his work, and I would gladly hire him again.”

"Absolutely fantastic..."

Understanding what you’re trying to achieve is a must.

“I’ve never “met” anyone who is this much of a whizz with MS Word. There were things I was confident that couldn’t be done… and Russ did them quickly and accurately.”

"Very patient and informative..."

Unlearning what doesn’t work isn’t difficult.

“As we launched a new brand, we needed a Microsoft Word consultant to create a new proposal document and delivery document template. Russ was extremely professional, very patient, and informative…”

"His technical knowledge and ability was amazing..."

Admittedly, this is much easier when you ‘get’ how Word works.

“Russ was amazing to work with…His attention to detail, speed in his work, and punctual delivery was probably the best I’ve seen on UpWork.”

"Skill, professionalism and expert communication..."

I firmly believe in helping people and “passing it on”…

“…his skill, professionalism and expert communication was genuinely appreciated and respected.”

"Russ is a REAL Word expert..."

Word’s styles are EVERYTHING, even integrating with external sources.

“Russ is a REAL Word expert and takes the time to share his skills and explain clearly how things work… Our work is now much easier to create nice corporate documents which are consistent across the company.”

"Excellent work ethic, great communication and very professional."

Great clients are worth their weight in gold…

“…once again he has done an amazing job. Excellent work ethic, great communication and very professional. Russ always goes above and beyond to take the time and educate on the intricacies of Word.”

"...an exceptional understanding of all things Word."

When you unlock Word’s code, it just works!

“He made the process very easy and was intuitive to my business needs. I loved the Loom video explanations with all his workings. Would highly recommend and will use again.“

Hi, Russ here,

Word has a bad rep as being complex, inconsistent, and unreliable.

I get that. I also understand exactly why.

The good news is there's an easy solution.

And it's all achieved through two simple steps:

1. Redesign your templates so they're simple and easy to use.

2. Teach your team exactly how to use them.

You already know how difficult and frustrating Word is but the chances are you don't know why.

The problem is, because your documentation is specific to you, and no Udemy course, YouTube video, or book will ever be able to provide the answer because they're just too generic.

And because they try and cater to everyone, they miss the mark by a long shot.

What you need is a specialist, an expert.

One who understands exactly how Word works and is both experienced enough to understand your business needs and what you're trying to achieve.

Microsoft Word is neither complicated nor difficult...

It just needs to be setup and used in a certain way (hence my 2-step approach, above).

Yet this so rarely happens within organizations.

In most cases, you inherit the tools, are told to get on with it, and persevere through the pain because 'that's what we've always done'.

The best analogy for what you need is to compare building Word templates with building a house...

Would you build a house without laying the right foundations?

Of course not, yet this is what your organization has been doing with Word and your documentation.

And if documentation is key to your business, you need solid, not shaky, foundations.

Word must be setup and used in a specific way

Because when is it, it then becomes simple, logical, consistent, and reliable.

I've proven that in the 20+ years I've been helping organizations:

Solve their Word problems
Rebrand and redesign their Word documents/templates
Train/educate their staff on how to use those designs correctly.

Word Is Logical, Easy to use, and Consistent

If you don't...

Screwing your whole document up because you moved an image on page 5 or changed the formatting in a paragraph on page 3 is not fun.

It's time-consuming, costly, and frustrating.

These errors should not be happening, and without knowing why, it won't get any better or different.

Whereas, if you do it's a whole new ballgame...

The good news is, when Word's setup and used correctly...

Microsoft Word is a PLEASURE to use

As you've seen, Word should be a JOY to use.

Even better are the potential benefits...

Achieve brand consistency

Build trust, enhance recognition, and strengthen customer loyalty.

Claw back wasted time

No more formatting errors, reworking inconsistencies, or unwanted surprises.

Save money

Create professional documentation with ease, precision, and certainty.

Eliminate frustrations

Software should work as intended. Now it will.

Better team morale

Imagine replacing cursing and gritted teeth with a smile.

Improve efficiency

With templates that work and authors with the know-how.

Boost professionalism

And increase credibility, trust, and client relationships.

Enhance communication

Finally, everyone's talking the same language.

Better planning & precision

Lets you set and meet deadlines with confidence.

And the savings can (and should) be phenomenal...

If you're the sole author in your organization and can save 10, 20 or more hours per month...

...imagine what can be achieved when you have a team of authors working on your documents or reports.

This was exactly the case with DriverTrett, and how I saved them between $100,000-$200,000 per year:

What would results like that do for your organization?

Trust and communication are EVERYTHING!

To me, they’re not just words and when I’m helping clients, I’m THE most communicative person in the world. I've never missed a deadline and my guarantee to you is that you'll never need to chase me to find out what's going on. Rest-assured, I'll update you every step of the way.
