James W
 
Web Designer/Developer

Bridgend, United Kingdom

About Me

Web developer that specialises in the following:

- PHP4+5.
- MySql-MSSql.
- Actionscript 2+3.
- Javascript-AJAX (including jQuery and Mootools frameworks).
- Flash DesignDevelopment.
- Search Engine Optimisation.
- Email Marketing-Templating-Cron Jobs Via PHP.
- Cross-browser HTML and CSS GUI design alongside development languages.
- HTML5 RIA Applications.
- Dedicated server management.
- Flash streaming server applications (Wowza, Red5, Adobe) and server installations.
- Ecommerce system development and payment gateway integration for fully automated services.
- Adobe Air applications for Linux--Mac--Windows--iPhone--Android--Blackberry.
- Phonegap applications.

Very familiar with all the above. Have created a vast array of websites and applications including illustation (e.g. photography), e-commerce, RIA softwaredatabasing and Restful API's. Sites are bespoke and are the majority are developed in jQuery-javascript-PHP, to create a flowing and visually dynamic appeal, and allow the website to function across devices and browsers universally. However availability in regards to creating bespoke flash websites is also an option to clients, as I am a highly proficient actionscript developer.
I also cover a vast area of Content Management Systems, where the user can change the information in a database via a simple form for selected areas of their website, which are then automatically re-displayed onto the page when submitted (without knowledge of web development whatsoever).
Have experience with many API's; useful tools which provide powerful web development options add functionality to the user experience (Including Google, Facebook, Twitter and TomTom.)
Also skills in the graphics sector of web design which includes the use of Adobe Fireworks for the creation of logos and web elements (such as themes) and After Effects for extending the features of animation to its full potential.

My development company offers "all in one" packages, where the hosting and domain names are combined into one payment which occurs on an annual basis, therefore saving the client time.
The first year's domain and hosting are included in any projects I take on, cutting out the hasstle of having to look around for hosting providers and purchasing domain names seperately.
All clients receive access to an "Outsource Account", where they can setup email accounts, renew any services and much more...
The company was one of few shortlisted for the 2010 Virtual Business Award.

Recent work includes working alongside Savience Limited, a UK-based software development company specialising in cost-effective, clinic management systems for the health sector and have relationships with top IT suppliers to the NHS. Savience keeps well ahead of the competition and provides systems that integrate easily into existing IT infrastructures.

Areas covered: Remote Projects - All of UK and Ireland : : OR : : Meeting clients for discussion - Cardiff, Bridgend and Newport.
