Start here
Which sounds like you?
Four doors, one person behind all of them. Pick the sentence that fits and I'll take you straight to the right place — what I do for you, and exactly what it costs.
Not sure which door is yours? Email me what's going on in your own words — there's no wrong way to describe a tech problem. I'll translate.
How it works
No ticket numbers. No hold music. No feeling silly for asking.
Tell me what's going on
Call, or email me in whatever words you have — screenshots, forwarded emails, or just "the internet is broken." There's no wrong way to describe a tech problem. I'll translate.
I take it from there
A house call — or, once we've met, a remote session. I fix it, set it up, or build it, and explain as much (or as little) as you'd like along the way.
You get one word back: "Handled."
Every finished job ends with that message. It means it's done, it works, and you can stop thinking about it. That's the whole point.
Why "Coastwise"?
"Coastwise" is an old navigation term — it means sailing along your home coast, the waters you know best. That's the promise of this company: steady bearings, local knowledge, and someone who knows your setup, not a stranger reading from a script.
Coastwise Systems is a one-person firm, and that's on purpose. When you call, you get me — Chris — the same person who set up your network last spring and knows your printer's whole life story. I work between the Philadelphia suburbs and Long Beach Island, and remotely wherever you are.
And the "Systems"? That's a quiet nod to my father's consulting firm. Helping people make sense of technology runs in the family.
The paperwork part: Coastwise Systems LLC is a Pennsylvania company based in Bucks County, insured for general liability and professional liability — so the person you let in the door is properly covered.
From the suburbs to the shore.
Tell me what's going on.
Write it however you like — plain English is the house language. I read every message myself and reply personally, usually the same day.
