HOW DO YOU SAY COMPUTERESE IN SPANISH?

So my friend Madai and I have been trying to set up a website and both of us have never done it before.  (By the way, that's not me in the picture, in case you were wondering.) I never knew how complicated it could be and how precise you have to be.  One thing is for sure; when computers work right, they can do amazing things but when they don't work the way they are supposed to, look out!  There are so many things that can go wrong and I dont' understand most of the language used to fix it and it's in English!  To me it's equivalent of having to explain something that's techonological, in the Spanish language.  I get stuck and then have to make up my own words.  "Tengo problemas en Microsuave Palabra, Eccelerado y Puntopoder." That's my interpretation of  "I have problems with Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint."  If you speak Spanish and computerese, you can probably guess, I need some help with my Spanish. 

Although, I'm in the technology business, it isn't something I was born to do.  God placed me where I am working today and has given me the ability to learn and understand things I never really studied.  He's also given me great patience.  One day (hopefully this year), Madai and I will get this site up and running but in the meanwhile, I'm thankful for a good friend to go through this learning journey with and that my computer speaks English, even though I don't speak computerese very well.  Now, how do you say web site in Spanish?  :-)
