THANKS TO KARLA FOR MAKING IT EASY

Image
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/

WITHIN HOURS, KARLA HAD ME CREATE MY OWN WEBSITE

Image
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 thoroughly enjoyed it. I found it very helpful and interesting. I found myself absorbing lines, shapes and textures all the way home!! Also this workshop gave me a greater confidence to play around with the camera. I learned a lot in a short time. Karla is very informative with a lovely sense of humour which makes it a pleasure to learn from someone who obviously has great knowledge and a great passion for what she does. Would Definitely recommend Karla Darocas teaching and events to others" * Laura Donoghue, Javea

I CAN UPDATE EVERYTHING MYSELF

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

MY WEBSITE IS AN ONGOING PROJECT

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!!

HAVING FUN CREATING A WEBSITE

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!

As I had already attended a one-to-one Business workshop with Karla, I knew any classes with Karla would be worthwhile. But my high expectations were surpassed. The Training Room was perfect for our group of entrepreneurs. Karla offers both visuals together with handouts so whatever your learning style she has the ability to create a comfortable learning environment. She teaches from experience and from the heart. I left the workshop feeling invigorated, now in possession of further tools to market my business. Debbie Hull Javea

We spent 4 fruitful hours with Karla who helped us to create a blog to support our Yoga Holiday business here in Spain. Starting with a completely white & empty page, within 2 hours we'd not only purchased our blog name -  we'd published a couple of articles to our blog .. all with Karla's expert help and guidance. What is so good about Karla's tuition is that she is happy to go with the flow & answer questions as & when they come up - rather than follow a rigid "teaching" plan. This way we were able to tailor our session to exactly what we needed and wanted. Because Karla's teaching & tips are so clearly explained, we've been able to continue updating our blog ourselves without even needing to ask her again for a refresher. We'd absolutely recommend Karla to you if you're looking for someone to help guide you through the "mirrors & madness" of marketing on the internet. Nicole & Gary, Yoga Breaks i

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.

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

"Absolutely excellent. I was given a lovely camera as a present two years ago but had no idea what to do with all the complex options it came with. So I had hardly used it. After just a couple of hours on this course I had learnt so much that I am planning trips just to take my camera out. There was lots of personal attention from Karla and loads of ideas of simple things to try that were really effective. Karla Darocas's teaching style is easy to understand but inspiring. Lots of personal attention in a small group. I would Absolutely recommend Karla Darocas teaching and events to others and I already have!" * Christine Wood of Javea

"I now know I am one of many people to buy a camera without realising that is only the start. I had no clue how to get the best from my Nikkon until I went on one of Karla's creative photography course. An excellent introduction to my camera and what do do with it. I then followed up with the Karla's Photoscape workshop to know how to use the photographs I had taken and how to improve them (how to remove that annoying plastic bottle in the front I had not seen at the time!)  I am having so much fun playing with this piece of software now. It sounded complicated but Karla taught it so well it was really easy to follow".  Highly recommended. Chris Wood

"I bought my Nikon camera some years ago and have been struggling with the various dials on it ever since.  After Karla's photo workshop I feel so much more confident using it.  We learnt about how to control the aperture to let in more or less light, which controls were best for action shots and which for close ups and we learnt about composition, perspective and narrative.  A great morning and of course with the wonderful countryside and beach Moraig of the Cumbre." * Chris Wood, Javea

I first met Karla during a Women in Business Club meeting and she was always so enthusiastic about her work. As I always want to learn more, I then participated her in her business incubator course.

"I thoroughly recommend these great informal photo walks around Moraira under Karla's expert guidance - you'll learn the best ways to shoot all the 'famous' landmarks and places of beauty and improve your photography skills! I would say that looking up and looking 'outside the box' stood out for me, so you can get shots that most other people maybe wouldn't look for. And of course learning about light compensation for when the sun is shining brightly and auto isn't good enough! Karla's teaching style was direct, friendly and thorough and the whole session was nice and informal." * Linda Ferguson

After seeing an advertisement on the internet promoting a photo walk in Jalon with Karla Darocas, I immediately signed up to go as I am very interested in learning how to take better photos.   It was a fantastic sunny day and Karla was very friendly and informative. She taught with enthusiasm on how to take photos by looking at the beauty of things around us and applying the principles of harmony, colour, form, texture and lighting, etc. We first walked through the old town of Jalon taking photos of buildings, churches, ornate objects, etc to name a few.  We then walked on in to the surrounding countryside taking pictures of the beautiful views of the Jalon Valley where we were also able to capture some of the beautiful almond blossom, which Jalon is renowned for. I would certainly recommend Karla’s photo walks as it is a great way to meet other people and a fun way to learn how to take better photos.  I feel I received some great photography tips and my photo taking

Karla Darocas is one of those special people - unique, talented in so many ways, intelligent, inspiring, creative and much more. She has been alongside me since the very first concept of my business, helping me to give birth to and then manage my own website, developing and enlarging my ideas, giving me her thoughts, both negative and positive, on anything I wanted to achieve, and above all encouraging me to be practical but creative and expansive.

I hired Karla Darocas to help me promote, market and improve my already existing business. She has helped me to create a visually pleasing and cost effective website that I have complete control of, which is a luxury almost impossible to acquire. Within 1 week my website was active and gaining hits. Karla is extremely knowledgeable in her field and has the ability to listen and advise simultaneously. I believe Karla is worth her weight in gold and urge you to not hesitate in considering her as a major factor in pushing your business that step further. Kelly Tyler

Karla had a friendly relaxed style of teaching as we wandered around the village. The focus of the information was less technical than I had expected, concentrating on the beauty elements of the shot. I was amazed at how much my photos improved throughout the morning by employing the principles that Karla taught us. Karla has a keen interest and background in Spanish art and this knowledge shines through in her approach to photography. I recommend her walks not only in order to learn more about the art of taking photographs, but also as a pleasant way to pass the time. Anita from Moraira

KARLA AND CAMERA GO TOGETHER

Karla and cameras go together. I have known Karla for the past 40 years and in all that time Karla has had a camera with her whenever she is out and about - whether it's for fun on holidays or to record a special event.  Back in the eighties, when I first met Karla, she was writing fashion articles for the Toronto Sun and I was lucky enough to get to tag along for some fun and on photo shoots and see firsthand how she worked.  As a journalist, she has always taken her own photos to back up her articles. She has always been a complete package covering not only fashion but artists and bands - whatever. Whether studio portraits or live performance shots she can capture the personality or mood of the moment. Her photos speak. In the nineties in Waterloo, Canada, Karla used her dark room to create surrealist effects and photo montages the hard way before Photoshop was developed! Never shy of getting to grips with new technology and mastering it, Karla’s knowledge of photogra

My name is Mary Anne Epp. I’ve come to know Karla through the superb work she does as a photographer as well as through working together with her on one of her Music & Literature Education Conferences, which she created and co-ordinated, right here at our Kitchener City Hall.  And I’ve been lucky enough to know her since 1985 Karla did a couple photo shoots for me a few years back and I was delighted with her work.  The photo we selected then for my press package is still one of my favourites.  As a matter of fact it hangs on the wall in my teaching studio.  Lately, I’ve taken to following her work via her website and Karla never fails to impress me with her good work.

I signed up for Karla's Photoscape workshop as it looked a really interesting way to enhance photos and create artistic cards or posters for work. Karla was really friendly and professional. She talked me through everything that Photoscape can do and then watched and guided as I played around with the software. The ability to get 'hands-on' during the workshop was so useful with Karla to show me exactly what Photoscape can do and how it can be used. I would definitely recommend Karla and am already looking out for future workshops which will be useful. Sarah Farrell

I have known Karla all her life. She has always been interested in the Visual Arts even as a child.  She studied fine arts at university and in Spain and became an artist of note.  Her keen eye for colour and proportion make her a natural for photographing all the beauty that surrounds us.  I am so impressed with how she captures her subjects, especially the ones in nature. Her composition skills are unsurpassed and she makes sure to find “the story” in all of her photographs.  She also has a way of tweaking pictures to make them look like paintings. Her colourful photos are always a joy to see, whether they are beautiful vistas or interesting insects in the garden.  Her dogs are favourite subjects as well.  I would definitely like to take a walking tour with her through one of the many villages in Spain and see and photograph sights as seen through her eyes. Her course will be guaranteed to be informative and fun!  She has so much knowledge and experience to impart. Sh

She has taught me some handy technology tools and strategies such as creation, marketing and maintaining a website. Her teaching style is innovative. She makes me laugh. I would definitely recommend Karla as a qualified and knowledgeable freelance educator. Debbie Goodchild
