How to contract us to provide a service to you E-mail

In addition to the online courses and other services we offer, we are also available to provide you with a customised service that matches your requirements more closely.  If you require a customised service or you have any specific project that you want to make use of us, there are a few ways you can do that.  The options are described below:


Option 1:  Directly via Van Thinking

The first way is to make known to us your requirements via our "Online Consultation" page.  If you do that, the process is as follows:

  1. You provide your information and request by completing our no-obligation online request form
  2. We contact you via email to discuss your requirement.  We can also contact you via Skype or Yahoo Messenger, so if you have either of those make sure to provide them when you enter the form (in the description block)
  3. When we have understood your requirements we send you a quote via email. You accept the quote by signing it and sending it back to us.
  4. The quote will also contain arrangements for payment.  For online consultation payment is usually upfront.  For other kinds of services we negotiate with you other payment options, usually some upfront and the rest at completion.
Note:  Payments for this service is done via the secure online payment gate 2Checkout.  We invoice you via 2Checkout.  That means you have the option to pay via PayPal or a credit card.

Is this what you want?  Then go to our online consultation page now!

Your inquiry does not place any obligation on you to make use of our service.  It is for information only, so you can decide after having discussed you requirement with us whether or not you want to contract us for the work.


Option 2:  Via Elance

You might want to make use of our services, but have the added peace of mind to make use of a reputed online contracting model using escrow payment.  You can do this as well.  If that is what you want to do, then you can do one of two things:

  1. Follow the process to engage us via the consultation page (describe above), mentioning that you want to make use of a secure escrow payment.  Part of our discussion and quote to you will then be how to make use of Elance.com to contract us for the work you want done.
  2. You can contact us directly via Elance without first completing ouronline consultation enquiry form.
If you want to contact us directly via Elance, take note of the following:
  1. You need to be a member of Elance.com.
  2. You need to post a project on Elance making sure you set it as "invite-only"
  3. You then need to invite us to provide the service.  (Read how to do it on the Elance website)
  4. Currently only Mariana van der Walt can be contracted in this way, her Elance name is Mariwa, and her Elance profile is Mariwa.elance.com
  5. It will also make sense to email Mariana directly saying that you are specifically interested in her expertise as outlined on Van Thinking when you invite her to participate in an Elance project.  Email to [JosObfuscator] ;>xbm2Ba0lf22r@ui)(aUn2qEAa3bF.}@/cONu+sD;+cXt%^(.5o>6^G?mp@C}voL_aUXnnaRG`Tteh9W{>iYz3un%5B#fkMi]#nMn^|6gR:.4cZ1loggm

Your inquiry does not place any obligation on you to make use of our service.  It is for information only, so you can decide after having discussed you requirement with us whether or not you want to contract us for the work.
