Since I met karla I realized she was very knowledgeable in many fields and very professional. She guided me and helped me to design my website  in a very short period of time. She has always been available to help me out with the website. Her keen artistic eye helped me to create a beautiful website, which I am proud of. I would definitiley recommend her not only as a web design teacher but also as an artist and photographer. Lourdes Ferrero www.JaveaMassage.com

My new website is up and running - still updating it though! Thank you Karla Darocas for the help and guidance. I can thoroughly recommend her if you need a website, logo or any business guidance. Michelle Lodge

Wow, having worked with Karla Darocas on our website over the last couple of years, I have again been amazed by the latest help and assistance Karla has given by helping me to update our website. What a difference. The new website she put in place is so easy to use and can be updated instantly from anywhere in the world. Thanks to Karla for making it easy. Chrissy Dunn on behalf of the Original Charity Shop and Library, Javea http://www.charityshoplibrary.com/

I would just like to express my sincere thanks to Karla Darocas who resolved numerous issues with my website. It had been created by another and I was unable to update myself without additional expense and the time delay of waiting for another to do as requested. Within hours Karla had me create my own website and taught me how to update it, insert photographs and link it to any eBay items. Whilst both web sites may appear to be similar in design, the difference in the control and operation of them is amazing. Karla’s DIY website is incredibly easy to use and what with her method of teaching, easy to understand. Karla has an easy going and straight talking approach to teaching, which is refreshing in a world where most IT personnel talk in a manner that is obviously spoken so as to confuse and make us believe they can do the impossible. Whereas Karla breaks down the hype to show you how easy and automated things are now. The cost of Karla’s tuition has easily been outweighed by

I want to say thank you so much to Karla Darocas for helping me create my websites. I love them both and am now loving that I am able to update them by myself. She have made it so simple for me. I especially love the banners and logos she designed for me. Karla has really captured what I was after. I would highly recommend Karla Darocas. Once again, thank you Karla Ann Martin Benitatxell, Alicante

As a professional writer I need strong support and advice about marketing my work. Recently I was put in touch with Karla Darocas and she has proved a godsend. Firstly, she managed to get my domain name moved to a reliable server. The original server tried to make this as complicated and long-winded a process as they could, but Karla persevered through all the frustrations, and I am now very happy with my new provider. I could not have accomplished that on my own. Karla then vastly improved the image and usability of my website, and helped me to link it with various social and commercial networks to help present my work to a much wider audience. Along the way she taught me a variety of little computing tips which have made my working life much easier. Though I am not very ‘computer literate’ I am confident that with a good tutor like Karla I can learn very much more. Karla is a very creative and tenacious helper who I would recommend to anyone who needs IT support and positive bu

Wendy Smith Owner of The Tool Bar in Moraira This testimonial for Karla Darocas is a long time coming, mainly delayed by my constant re tweaking of my website and continually coming up with new ideas, new photographs and re-works. I somehow imagined my website would be complete when I put into writing my sincere thanks to Karla for her help with my knowledge base, confidence and simply giving me the push to actually do it. However, now I realize that my website will never be finished but always a work in progress. It is a great extension of our shop, which I will always need to clean, re merchandise, update and continually make more customer friendly. I cannot thank Karla enough for her help that she gave me to move forward with building my own website. She is a fountain of knowledge and I know I shall continually be dipping into her brain for more motivation, knowledge, ideas and enthusiasm. For everything she does, a  big thank you Karla!!

Chris Duffin Want to build a website and don't know where to start? That was me a month ago but not any more. I was lucky enough to know Karla Darocas, who is a fellow member and founder of the Women in Business Club, who took me through the process step by step and the results are fantastic. Given my techno-phobia, I expected it to be both difficult and beyond me but it wasn't. Karla took me through the process step by step and used words I understood and, although I may not now be an expert, I certainly feel it was explained simply and concisely in terms I understood. It was also great fun doing it. If you are like I was, get in touch, you may be surprised at what you can do. Check it out on CHRIS DUFFIN

Hello, My name is Jill Tyler of Moraira Luxury Villas I hired Karla because I decided I needed to know a lot more about internet marketing to save having to hire an expert every time my business needed a boost or new strategy.  Someone recommended Karla and I am so pleased I took up the opportunity. Karla has taught me how-to, not only publish a website, but to make that website interesting and modern and enjoyable. She has taught me that I can actually have the site exactly how I want it.  And most helpfully, how easy it is to change it and add to it as circumstances arise. She has taught me how-to make my own videos with music, and how-to use these videos to market my business - for free. I love Karla's teaching style because she doesn't have a set format to lessons. She simply sees what comes up, in my quest to advance my business, and then teaches me how-to achieve it.  I really appreciate that I can focus on what I personally need to learn. She helps me to think abou

At short notice and very efficiently Karla helped me to create a website for the project I’m currently working on.   I was especially impressed with her professionalism and the way she created a graphic image with PhotoScape for the site.  Karla taught me to maintain a blog website using her skills and knowledge and for such a low cost.  Really - with Karla's help - you can’t afford not to have one!

Karla is a computer whizz-kid and runs courses to show people how to build and manage their own web-sites, blogs, do problem solving to name but a few. She and her husband Jose can resolve hardware problems as well as software. In addition to the computer courses Karla also runs courses to help people build their businesses, deal with advertising, promotion and develop entrepreneurial skills. She regularly writes articles for local newspapers, which can be both informative and helpful. On top of her other skills Karla is an accomplished artist and photographer. As well as painting normal pictures her colourful flowers can be found adorning various items of clothing, which can make the most ordinary T-shirt, jacket, or skirt bespoke. Somehow she also finds time to run a business from her home in Benitachell selling a selection of organic and chemical free Aloe Vera based products. There are creams, lotions and potions to help keep your skin moisturised, to treat

I had been having  problems with my web designer, which went back 18 months and wasted a lot of money. I asked Karla via email as to whether I was capable of taking it over. Karla assured me I was.  After a few simple lessons at her office and a free copy of a website authoring programme, I was steaming ahead with changes. I finally published my website after 1 week, and every time I look at it I smile. I am happy not just because of what I achieved, which is brilliant, but because I can imagine the surprised look on the web designer's face when he saw it too! Karla gave me confidence to actually take back my power, and there is no stopping me now. If I can do it, anyone can, and I would recommend doing it sooner rather than later, so you won't be counting the costs like I was. I wish I'd met her a year ago - it would have saved my sanity, and my money. I can't thank Karla enough.  I feel empowered! Jane Foley

"It was interesting and enjoyable to listen to Karla's explanation of the striking work and life of the painter Kahlo. Karla has a relaxed way of explaining everything. I would recommend her." - Regina Van der Laan

"Excellent course! Top-class teaching and a very welcoming atmosphere where everyone could feel safe and welcome. I signed up partly because art is interesting and inspiring, and to meet new people. I received much more than I signed up for. Highly recommended! What features did I like about Karla's teaching style? Her enthusiasm. Would you recommend Karla Darocas' teaching? Yes. - Janni Warrer Hansen"

"I did not appreciate the artwork of Dali, but now, oh my God, I look with different eyes! Karla is an amazing teacher with a beautiful presentation. I love to have more lectures; nutrition for my soul, really. What do I like about Karla's teaching style? Everything. " - Veerle Vermoesen, Javea

"Salvador Dalí: Madman or Genius? His paintings may appear chaotic and psychedelic to my untrained eye. Karla clearly explains his obsessions and phobias, which manifest as symbols within his artwork. As the 20th century's progressed, so did his creativity. His obsession with Freud and finally adopting a scientific outlook changed his approach to his work. Karla is knowledgeable and enthusiastic, effectively conveying that passion to the class participants. The lectures are enlightening and enjoyable. I highly recommend Karla's classes." - Hilary Coward
