Hi, I’m Angela
MISSION
Technical Geekery has a two-part mission: 1) To provide my clients with a website that is simple enough to use, and custom enough to wow their visitors, and 2) To build a community of business owners who have a basic understanding of how their site works and are empowered to make good decisions for it as their business grows.
VISION
To change the stereotype of websites being scary or confusing or complicated and challenge the idea that your website is the place to either cut costs or buy the most expensive stuff regardless of fit for your business.
Values
Change ~ Trust ~ Charity ~ Communication
Your website will be accessible to you, not some scary or confusing thing you ignore until something goes wrong. I’m working to change the stereotype that websites are complicated. I want you to trust me, but more than that – I want you to trust yourself. I don’t want you to rely on “the experts” to tell you what you need without understanding it. I promise to keep the lines of communication open. I’ll be here to answer questions, explain concepts, clear up confusion, and give guidance both when we are working together and after your project is complete.
Promise
I promise you will have a basic understanding of your website, what parts it has, and why. You won’t have to feel helpless and overwhelmed and be dependent on the “experts” to tell you what’s best for your website.
Personality
I have a lot of clients ask me about my personality as determined by (insert personality test here). I have taken several of them and put the results below. So if you are interested in that kind of thing, check it out below.

Advocates value deep, authentic relationships with others, and they tend to take great care of other people’s feelings. That said, these personalities also need to prioritize reconnecting with themselves. Advocates need to take some time alone now and then to decompress, recharge and process their thoughts and feelings.
Enneagram
Nines are good at seeing all points of view. Because they see value in most positions, their communications may tend to be ambiguous. However, they can excel in their role of mediator, bringing together different opinions or different sides of an argument.
Enneagram 9s tend to prefer text as their main form of communication as this gives them time to order their thoughts and often use GIFs or emojis to help them communicate tone and emotion.

S styles are motivated by cooperation, opportunities to help, and sincere appreciation. They prioritize giving support, collaborating, and maintaining stability and are often described as calm, patient, predictable, deliberate, stable, and consistent.
SC-style leaders can be modest and fair-minded, providing reliable outcomes through steadiness and consistency.

You likely have a variety of hobbies that give you even more opportunities to learn!
HUMAN DESIGN
Manifesting Generator with Emotional Authority
Manifesting Generators have a deep inner awareness that “pulses” on or off. Following these strong gut-level pulses always puts the Manifesting Generator in the right place, doing the right work, and having the right impact. In addition, Manifesting Generators have a unique ability to do more than one thing at a time and need to constantly keep many balls in the air. They will also skip over details that aren’t important and find the fastest way to mastery. If, however, they respond to correcting a step that has been skipped over, then they need to go back and correct it. A Manifesting Generator is uniquely capable of getting more things done than most and for a long period of time.
4 TENDENCIES

Obligers meet outer expectations, but struggle to meet inner expectations. Of all the Tendencies, Obligers are the biggest group, and the ones whom people count on the most. They put a high value on meeting commitments to others, but may have trouble setting limits and meeting their commitments to themselves.
