About Me

My name is Josh Mans and I started On The Side (OTS) Computer and Technology Solutions in 2015 to make my on the side work more official and accessible. I’ve been working on computers and websites since I was about age 10 – I am now 34. Being that all of this work is on the side and not my primary source of income I am able to offer competitive pricing on both pre-determined and custom jobs.

With it also being on the side my time tables might be a little longer than other folks but I believe that the finished product will be the same or even better than the other guys, and leaving you with a more satisfied feeling knowing that I did my personal best for you.

I am located in Mankato, MN but also travel within a 60 mile radius for my computer work (first 20 miles round trip are free), $0.50/mile thereafter; and can work with anyone in the world on a website. Please get in touch today to discuss your needs and receive a personalized quote or proposal for services.

I provide custom website solutions to meet your needs. I will meet with you to discuss everything and offer a custom proposal. I do not offer standard "packages" as every person and every business is different and I despise the cookie-cutter approach when it comes to web design and development. I do have some things I tend to lean toward - such as using WordPress as a powerful CMS (Content Management System) to present the information beautifully and allow for easy content changes by you, if you so chose.

Website redevelopment
Website maintenance
Website repair
SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
Powerful Stats (via Google Analytics)
Brand Integration (similar look across all promotional materials - Print, Web, and App)
