Technology today is complicated and constantly changing, yet comes with no instruction manual. Computer Courage aims to fix this by providing personal, expert IT support and beautiful, hand crafted websites. Computer Courage has always put the user first.
Too many systems and companies put the focus on products or the bottom line, creating an environment where users are left without knowledgeable or friendly support and without easy to use websites.Our mission is to change that with friendly, local, professional support. Computer Courage grew from a one man operation in the basement of founder Adam Schwartz's home.

We develop our custom eCommerce solutions to work with the major shipping supplies like UPS, FedEx and UPS. You can select your preferred shipping provider or you can let your customers decide on the shipping method. You may choose to have flat rate shipping or you can generate the rates automatically based on the shipping location and product size.
Our solutions are built on open source technology, ensuring that your solution has no expensive or restrictive licensing fees or upgrade costs. No more server administration, upgrades, or downtime. Our custom web applications can be run anywhere from virtual machines to Amazon Web Services. We offer full maintenance plans including cloud server monitoring, security, backup, redundancy, and stack management.
Keep phone and tablet visitors on your site longer, improve site sales, and increase visitor engagement. Pinching and zooming to see content on a site without a responsive layer is frustrating and causes visitors to leave. Our mobile layers solve this problem. Mobile layers dramatically improve the website experience for visitors, which results in more opportunities for your visitors to engage with your business.
Computer Courage designed and developed a makeover of our company website. We are very pleased with the results. The staff are super professional, responsive, and skilled. A special thank you to Kyla Garrow & Mindy Lue. We have a complex business with many hurdles to jump to present content efficiently and completely.
We block tens of thousands of known attacks, and we update our system every day to ensure even the newest attacks are blocked right away. Multiple users accessing your site?

I've had occasion to deal with Computer Courage on behalf of one of my clients, a small nonprofit doing big things (international work with dozens of consultants and many top names in global affairs, but with just one full-time staff member). The help we've requested has ranged from the mundane (setting up a new e-mail account) to the quite sophisticated (assisting with a funder's in-depth security review of the Web site). Computer Courage has been prompt, knowledgeable, accurate, and helpful, going beyond the minimum that would qualify as good service.

We've been using Computer Courage for our small non profit for about one year. We have always had great support and service from the entire team. Adam takes great care of his customers and makes sure that they get what the need and he never oversells on anything you don't need. I am really impressed by the quality of service at Computer Courage. We use them for everything from trouble shooting a time-sensitive virus issue to upgrading our wifi speed, to handling software upgrades when we can't figure it out ourselves (we are an admittedly non tech-savvy bunch). They deal with large

If you're like me, someone who is running a small business, who absolutely goes cold with fear when her/his computer goes nuts, don't hesitate for a nano-second to call Computer Courage. They're amazing! I'm usually next to tears when I call, panicked it is the end of my work/life/professional existence as I know it...and then comes Ray (or one of the skilled techs) who not only solves the problem(s), but also listens to how I use my computer and makes suggestions about how to make everything run more smoothly. I've been a fan of theirs since Adam began the business..

I dropped an external hard drive with 7,000+ files and the consequence of my clumsiness was an inaccessible drive and corrupted data. The information was critical to my work and I would have been lost without it. I contacted a number of data recovery specialists and the recovery price ranged from $2,700 - $6,000 due to the damage and volume. Now I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't have that kind of money sitting around and I was REALLY worried.
I found Computer Courage here on Yelp and really liked what I read when I looked at the profile. A professional who decided a few

We are sure happy with the work Computer Courage did for us. We are a small business with big computer issues and they got down to business solving our problems. On the subject of changes to their business model disappointing a former client: We went through growing pains many times in our 35 year existence and I can understand the necessity of losing some customers because our business practices needed to evolve.
Our previous IT solution company oversold us on hardware, support contracts, unnecessary software, etc. We ended up with enough gear to host a "small business" of 100+ employees

I've worked with Adam and his crew for three years and they have been fabulous to work with. They created my entire website from sketchy ideas that I had. As a creative person in a techy world, I needed mucho help and Adam has been full of creative ideas, getting the job done far better than I had hoped. I will be adding a second website this year and you can bet that Computer Courage will be the ones to create it for me. Cheers to Computer Courage for another successful year! -Camille

We have been working with Computer Courage for five years. They have become our computer department. Whenever I have a problem I email them and help me quickly. They recently assisted me with purchasing a new computer and I was up and running without a hitch within a week. That's service!!!!
Thanks Computer Courage for always being there when I need you!!!!

We employed Computer Courage to do a complete re-design of our website and we are SO happy with the result. Adam, Sam, Jacob, Hart and the Computer Courage team really worked with us to understand what our company is all about and what our needs are. The entire project was completed in a very timely and professional manner and at a great price!

Wow.
We have been working with Computer Courage for nearly 3 years now. We have always found them to be professional, personable, and efficient. Very easy to recommend. In fact, it turns out we share several of the same clients--and each of them also raves about Computer Courage.
Xfinity recently sent us a new modem. Bitchen. It's faster, has a built-in router with a strong WiFi signal, and even looks purrty, standing all upright and proud with it's "oh yeah we're here in all our glory, but not so bright as to being annoying flashing lights." Trouble is it was causing

LOVE LOVE These guys!
My mac started having issues with the hard-drive and I called to get a quote. They were extremely helpful and knew what the problem was right away. I took it in and it was fixed the next day! They didnt charge very much either and I was extremely happy. Will definitely use them again if my computer gets sick.

Computer Courage was AWESOME!!! I took in a hard drive that I was told was completely broken. Not only did the Computer Courage team get all of my information off it, but they also transferred it to my new hard drive! Allie was incredibly helpful at the front desk and Thai the IT guy knew it all!!
Thanks so much! I will absolutely be returning for all my computer needs.

I brought my Windows XP desktop to Computer Courage after it experienced problems starting (this was following a power outage which seems to have corrupted the boot sector). Tai, the technician, diagnosed the problem as hardware and told me that the mother board needed to be replaced. I replaced it with a new board that I bought myself, but the problem continued. I suggested that the problem was due to a corrupted boot sector and that all that was needed was to rewrite that part of the disk. Unfortunately, he didn't have that level of knowledge, so I ended up having to buy a new system. He did

I was on a business trip to San Francisco when my (usually reliable) IBM Thinkpad slowed to a crawl and started trying to sell me antivirus software. I knew something was wrong, as it kept pushing for a credit card number, so I consulted old faithful (yelp.com) and called Computer Courage. A friendly, real person (Beth) picked up the phone and instantly reassured me that the virus could be removed, the data could be saved, and that she could get me back up and running before my trip home. For $150 flat they offered me a simple solution which would fix my computer and bring it back to normal

I ran across Adam through Berkeley Parents Network and my company has been using him for all of our Tech needs. We have now been using Adam and his crew for going on 3 years.
He and his crew are sufficent, professional, and make it easy to understand the complex computer issues that arise on any given Monday. Very personable and easy to deal with.
Not only do we use Adam for our work related computer issues, but we have expanded to most of the employees personal home computers and we recommend him to our clients and friends who also give positive feed back after having their computers serviced

Brought in my desktop and laptop for repair. Desktop had a nasty virus on it and I thought the charger input on the laptop was bad.
Fixed up my desktop beautifully and Beth gave me some great pointers on how to keep it running fast all the time.
Turns out the power cable for the laptop was bad so they helped me order a replacement.
The folks who work there are pretty friendly and didn't talk me to like I was an idiot (although when it comes to computers, I pretty much am!).
I hopefully will not need their services again, but if my computers go on the fritz, I'll be knocking on their

One of our computers at the gallery died a quick, unexpected death over the weekend. Sad, but these guys rocked! All data saved thanks to David and Adam. They are very reasonably priced and were so easy to work with. We have a few things to tighten in the office and plan on working with this neighborhood biz again. They have a lot to offer!
Thanks again!!
Thanks again!!
