Work Experience

Example sites (all coding by myself):

http://beverevivis.com - an art gallery with secure back-end system for owner to manage content (artists, portfolios, exhibitions, announcements, etc) Particular attention was paid to SEO and usability (note PR5)

http://lindawhelpdale.com - a simple gallery site for a single artist. Again, content is managed by the owner.

http://thestripeysheep.co.uk - shopping cart site for ethical trade clothing. Content managed by owner.

http://northofwatford.com - simple actors agency site. Note that site owners wanted strong integration with spotlight web site, content managed from there by client.

http://thestoneworkshoplimited.co.uk - simple site publicising a local business. Of note is the \"Nameplate Shop\" - a dynamic tool for visitors to create their own nameplates, with a dynamic feedback image.

http://reefkeepers.co.uk - a multi-seller site for the reef keeping hobby. Multiple sellers can sign up and sell their equipment, corals, etc. Customers place orders with items from multiple sellers - all managed by a custom back-end system.

These are just a few of my recent sites. I have worked on sites from online stock market games (with daily live FTSE100 feeds); to Printing ink company online store and stock management systems; to simple Bed and breakfast sites.

I have 10+ years in PHP4/5, SQL, mySQL, HTML4, CSS, JavaScript, XML, SEO, Google Analytics
