Gaming fun in the digital family house joined by Ian Binks, BT and Birmingham City Council Deputy Leader, Paul Tilsley
Our Digital Family are now 8 months into their digital journey and have taken their technology skiing, used it to keep up to date with the football right down to the local league level of 9 year old Kieran and shopped online for holidays. This month is dad Simon’s turn to get some one-to-one support and a digital makeover for his business. Dave Harte here will be giving Simon, a self-employed builder, some advice on setting up a website and promoting his services through online business communities such as BT Tradespace.

Despite perhaps being the more hesitant in using technology, dad Simon showed that when it comes to online shopping he is willing to take the lead. Supported by Digital Birmingham’s Mike Farmer, who is helping the digital family find their way around technology use, the 2 men set out to buy Simon’s wife Julie a bottle of Jean Paul Gaultier perfume. Mike took him through the different steps from finding the best prices to checking out reputable sites to buy from and the secure site ‘lock’ feature. It seems like he’s hooked now, with Simon keen to progress to ebay and find those ‘Cash in the Attic’ gems that he can flog online.
Digital Birmingham is a Birmingham City Council initiative and part of a city wide strategic partnership of more than 40 public, private and voluntary organisations
