I have an existing website and about 15 of the 100+ Google apps and other bullshit everyone has to maintain to keep the great Google Gods happy. Every hosting and marketing company I have hired has only made it more complicated. I am looking for a single contact that can host or manage the hosting and address the World of Google. I will NOT sign up for ANY more Google programs and might actually take down my site if that is the only way to get a SIMPLE website running effectively. Please contact me if you know everything about Google and can run things for me - for a reasonable rate. Thank you, Jim
