Where Tech Gets Its Act Together

Welcome to Mike’s Web Tips—your friendly shortcut to a smarter digital life. Whether you’re troubleshooting your Wi-Fi, figuring out how to back up your photos, or just trying to avoid yet another scammy popup, you’re in the right place. We believe tech should work for you, not frustrate you.

Hi, I’m Mike—Your Internet Wingman

Glad you made it. Let’s cut through the digital noise.

I started Mike’s Web Tips after spending years helping friends and family with tech stuff that seemed “too small to Google”—but way too annoying to ignore. Think: clearing up storage without deleting everything, stopping robocalls, fixing grandma’s email (again).

I realized most online advice either talks down to you or assumes you’re a coder. So I decided to build something different. Something honest, helpful, and made for real people.

This site is my way of handing you the tech confidence you didn’t know you needed—no jargon, no judgment.

How We Think About Tech
📱

Simple Makes Smart.

We believe clear, plain-language tech tips empower people faster than any jargon ever will. When it’s easy to understand, it’s easier to use.

🛡️

Safety First, Always.

From scam alerts to privacy tools, we put your digital safety at the heart of every guide—because what you don’t click matters just as much.

⚙️

Tools That Actually Help.

We don’t chase trends—we test tools that solve everyday problems. If it’s on this site, it’s because it’s earned its spot.

👩‍💻

Built For Real People, Not Tech Bros.

This site isn’t for developers or digital elites. It’s for your neighbor, your cousin, your parents—and you. Because everyone deserves to feel confident online.

How I Break It Down (So You Don’t Break Down)

Here’s what guides every tip, tutorial, and recommendation on this site:

  1. If it doesn’t make sense the first time, it’s not written right.
  2. If I wouldn’t use it myself, I won’t recommend it.
  3. If it can be done in 3 steps instead of 8, I’ll show you how.
  4. If a tool isn’t safe, secure, or worth your time—I’ll say so.

My goal? Help you feel like you’ve got this—even when your phone, browser, or settings say otherwise.

Who’s Behind the Screen?

It’s not just Mike in a basement (okay, sometimes it is). Mike’s Web Tips features contributors who live and breathe clarity—from tech educators to privacy advocates to app testers who love a good browser hack.

We keep it real. We test what we teach. We write like we’re texting a friend—not building a rocket ship.

Digital Privacy & Scam Prevention Expert

Online safety doesn’t have to be scary—it just has to be clear. I help people spot red flags, protect their info, and surf a little smarter. Think of me as your friendly scam-spotter and digital safety sidekick. If there’s a shady pop-up lurking, I’m already five steps ahead of it.

Efficiency Tools Strategist

I’m all about streamlining digital life without losing your mind. If there’s a browser hack, shortcut, or settings tweak that makes things smoother—I’ve probably tested it (and thrown out the ones that waste your time). Tech should serve you, not the other way around.

Nina Patel

Digital Access Educator

I’ve taught everyone from teens to grandparents how to feel more confident online—and let me tell you, anyone can learn this stuff. I break down the basics in a way that clicks. No shame, no dumb questions, just real talk about how to do more with your devices.

Everyday Tech Simplifier

I live for that “Ohhh, now I get it” moment. My job? Make the internet feel less overwhelming and way more useful. From browser settings to app reviews, I cover it all—because tech is part of life, and you deserve to feel good using it.

Helping You Use Tech Your Way

We know there’s no one-size-fits-all fix. A student juggling classes, a parent managing family devices, and a retiree learning new apps each have different needs. That’s why we tailor our tips to fit different lifestyles, not just different devices.

Whether you’re setting up a new phone, locking down your privacy, or untangling a stubborn Wi-Fi issue, our goal is the same: give you the clearest, fastest path to “done.”
