My name is Kieren Trinder, I'm a 38 year old Joomla developer and designer, living and working in Louth, on the east coast of the UK. I'm a hard working developer and designer who loves his job! Hopefully, you've had a look at my portfolio and seen the quality of my work.

Although able to turn my hand to a large number of web design and development tasks, I specialise in Joomla development and design, and Prestashop for e-commerce solutions. I have an excellent grasp of Joomla structure, and am fully versed in how to both push and adapt components and modules together, to perform the task in question efficiently and speedily.

I work on a variety of contracts, including both ground up design, troubleshooting, administrative tasks, mobile site design and (to a lesser degree) graphic design.

I take great care in optimising the Joomla structure for speed and efficiency on deployment, using techniques such as browser leverage, javascript load deferment, GZIP and the minifying of css and html.

I am able to build templates from the ground up, to WC3 standards, and have plenty of experience of 960 grid formats.
