KARLA DAROCAS, B.A. (Hons) Freelance Educator Since 1990

I have known Karla for over 16 years, having met her through the Women in Business Club. I am always amazed by her wide variety of knowledge in subjects including art, marketing, and technology. She has supported and helped me with her computer expertise.  In 2009, she built me a website for my business and taught me how to manage it. Thanks to her great tutoring skills and advice, I am able to make tweaks to it myself. However, she is always on hand to help me if needed and has done so on numerous occasions when I had ‘brain fog’ on what to do.  Her creative skills are amazing; she always seems to be popping up with new ideas. I am sure her Digital Marketing tutoring will enhance anyone’s business and expand their general knowledge and ability.  She has been and is a great friend. I happily recommend her technology skills and wish her every success in building her client base.  Carol Lockhart – Lliber, 2024

O n the recommendation of a friend, I engaged the services of Karla Darocas to obtain advice and help in setting up a website for a business which I was about to start in the UK. Karla was able to see me promptly. We met in her office. I explained what I thought my business needed and she explained how she could help. I am not IT literate having relied on the IT department of a big company for many years but I found her an exceptionally able and patient teacher. Karla explained how the web worked. I told her the site name which I thought would be right for my business (legal services for the nuclear industry) and, having checked its availability, she reserved it immediately online. She went on to show me how websites were designed and what the basic requirements were in terms of content. I went away and prepared the basic content which was a photo of myself and a lot of words. Shortly after, we met for a second lesson. I had the content with me in electronic form and wi

"I write this testimonial with many, many thanks to Karla for the marvelous job she has done on my website .. which was a bit of a disaster before she made the wonderful changes to it.  I am extremely pleased with it and have gotten two out of the blue inquiries just today, which I'm sure I would never have received if she hadn't gotten me coming up first on Yahoo.  Before now, I was somewhat reluctant to send people to my site because it wasn't very good or representative of my work, but I now I take real pleasure in sending them there.  She is great to work with, and seemed to know exactly what my site needed, without me even saying a word!!!!! It had been some time since we had been in touch and I did not realize she was as skilled at website design as she really is - and I would highly recommend Karla to any and all folks who are looking to have an amazing site built!!!!!    We've both had some adventures since we first met here in Oshaw

My name is Lizzie Clayton and I live in Benitachell  I hired Karla, because I joined one of her business courses. She has taught me how-to write a business marketing plan and how-to monitor the grown of my business - and then track the reality back to my business plan. I am now learning how-to build a website and an online database. She has taught me how to use "web-based" tools and a number of "free" online graphic tools. Karla has so much information to impart and share. She is calm and encouraging and doesn't shout (like my husband!!). Karla also makes it fun, which is an important part of learning. I highly recommend Karla as an educator, because of her immense knowledge and her style of teaching. Lizzie Clayton

I first met Karla Darocas when I joined WIBC Spain, of which she started and was the Chair. I live partly in Spain & had set up a millinery business, which had reached a point where it needed a website. Karla worked with me to design & launch. We continue to develop & up-date it. I have an accountancy practice & a jewellery shop in the UK & need web-sites for these. Karla provides me with the technical support & education that I need with regard to computing matters. Although I am a constant user of computers, I have limited knowledge so she will always be my choice when I am working in this field. PATRICIA GIBSON

There aren’t many people I would promote or recommend but Karla for sure. Check out one of Costa Blanca’s best kept secrets. Karla and Jose are one helluva team, combining talent and skill with in depth knowledge of just about anything and everything to do with computers and technical ’stuff’. They are also really nice! Karla also successfully combines ‘arty stuff’ with her technical side and you should check out some of Karla’s work, it’s amazing and of course, utterly unique. I personally cannot praise them enough for much help with internet, TV and telephone assistance both here at home and in the office, without which I could not run my business.  Whatever your level of competence, they can support you and I cannot recommend them highly enough.  They are a lovely couple and a pleasure to know and to work with, as everything is done in an easy to understand and uncomplicated way with complete back up, ongoing education and support.  It’s unusu

"Karla is the energy in energetic and my observation is that she has a passion for visual as well as narrative communication. I continue to be struck by Karla's endless artistic capability and positive energy as well as stretching her personal resources and time to publish meaningful communication pieces and web vehicles. Her latest project on the Ning opportunity network for recognizing leaders in their field and highlighting the lessons they have learned equally from their successes and failures is textbook of how Karla finds a way to harness technology, as well as being relevant to her space and time. Karla is someone who her can count on for any communication(s) project that her may want to undertake. The proof is in the publishing." David Jonah, CEO at Jonah & Associates and Owner, Jonah & Associates

I met Karla through the Women in Business club. She was the creator and was very interesting. Later, I had a 3 hour lesson on creating my own website, which was great fun and I can still manage my website myself. Earlier this year (Feb.2010) I attended Karla's Business course and this has helped me tremendously with my new venture.  The sessions were well thought out and lots of information was backed up by written sheets, (course notes) that we were give throughout. I would recommend Karla to teach you. Ann Martin

Just wanted to say a huge thank for her tutoring me in website development. After several months of debating who to get to set up my webpage I decided that to learn to do it myself was by far the best option. Herr expertise in how to market the business was invaluable and her made it easy and logical and now my website is up and running on the internet and in such a short space of time. I maintain it on a regular basis and have no one to have to harass to get this done - fantastic. Cannot sing her praises enough and I have recommended her to many friends and associates. Thanks again Cath Hunter

I have learnt some really useful tips about photography which were a mystery to me before and this information will really help me improve my work.

I just wanted to drop a note to thank Karla Darocas so much for all of her help and support teaching me all about the principles of PhotoScape and setting up a website. In the limited time that I spent with her, I felt that I learned a huge amount.  Her own knowledge and expertise were very evident, and it was so reassuring that she was willing to share that so openly with me – and at an extremely competitive hourly rate. She was very patient with a computer novice and went at a pace to suit my learning.  Her style was very relaxed and friendly, and informative, and she guided me very gently through what was originally a very frightening maze.  She was adaptable and prepared to work to my own agenda, rather than a rigid and overly structured regime.  I know that my business partners have been extremely impressed with what I have learned and achieved, and I would have no hesitation recommending Karla to anyone! With best wishes, Ann Mather

I first met Karla in February 2010 when I joined her business class in Benitachell. I then went on to having private computer lessons with her in order to learn to design my website and web pages.  Several months on and I am still going to lessons. I have learnt lots of different things about the Internet and websites that I had no idea about before. I would recommend Karla to all my friends and clients now and in the future.

It could be pouring down with rain with hurricanes and tornadoes lashing at my front door, but I don´t care because I´ve got a website which is absolutely perfect for my business and I couldn´t have done it without the much appreciated help of Karla Darocas. If you need a website (and if you´re in business, you DO need a website!), then I urge you to look no further than Karla. You simply don´t need to spend hundreds or thousands of euros getting a web designer to create a site which you´re not fully happy with and having to wait for the web designer to answer your calls when you need something changing (it´s happened to me!).  After just a few hours sitting in Karla´s nice warm office, I can now control my own site and change things as I need to. If I get stuck, I know that Karla will be there to help. Karla listened to what I wanted to achieve and suggested a suitable layout, pointing out all the benefits, then she set about designing a fantastic banner logo for me.  Then Karla

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

I've known Karla since 1990 and she understands the music business from the ground up having worked in her own record store and also as a freelance music writer for various publications and had her own radio show. She also produced some concerts of which I had the privilege to play on. She was one of the first people to get a website set up and encouraged artists like myself to do the same. Karla has created and managed my web site for the past number of years. Karla has a great disposition, knowledgeable and very easy to work with. She's the greatest! Paul James

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

I have known and used the private tuition services of Karla Darocas since 2008, when she first helped me set up my web page for the European School of Craniosacral Therapy ( www.craneosacral.com ). She did a magnificent job including photos, videos and excellent graphics. Most importantly, unlike other web designers I had worked with before, Karla always explained how to set things up in such a way that I could do things myself afterwards. Since then she has provided ongoing support both onsite and remote and has guided and encouraged me to take advantage of new technology as it emerges. This has been essential in these days of rapidly changing telephony and computer software. I strongly recommend you seek Karla’s help if you are designing a new page or setting up any form or ebusiness. She is a wizard on software and can most time troubleshoot any problems. She also know the Internet intimately, having worked in this industry since its beginnings. She is e
