About Me

Hi,

I started an ecommerce business in 2004 and since this time it has turned over more than £1.5 million online.

I have now started using iphone apps to promote, support and market our core business and I have now started to develop iphone apps in their own right.

I can develop ebook story apps for iphone, ipad and Android platforms.

I have also developed utility apps including a formula based calculation app for boiler engineers.

Apps on itunes now include:-
Sleepy Zoo-one of the Top 25 Baby Care Apps 2011 (as chosen by [Link Removed])

Jemma And The Night-an ebook bedtime story with gently animations and sounds.

Cuski App-An app developed for Cuski International and Baby Sleep Shop.

The Cuski app and Sleepy Zoo app have been featured on itunes What's Hot Lists throughout February 2012

Android Market.

Baby Sleep Shop branded app.

Kindle ebook
Jemma & The Night

I therefore have an intimate knowledge and understanding of:-

Search Engine Optimisation (White Hat)
Adwords Pay Per Click.
Conversion Rate Optimisation (and testing}
AB Split Testing
Multi-Variate Testing
Web Usability.
Site Architecture
Google Analytics and interpretation
Google Webmaster Tools
Email campaigns
Social Media

My recent projects have made me aware of the value of mobile apps as an extension of existing businesses and also of the potential of stand alone apps to generate revenue.

To gain a deeper understanding of app development (after having our first app developed externally) I have learnt to code and develop my own iphone app which has been accepted by Apple itunes and I'm now developing 2 more.

After having "got my hands dirty" by carrying out the real nitty gritty of linking, SEO, Adwords and every other aspect of creating, developing and running an ecommerce business since 2004 I now feel fully prepared to offer my services as a Consultant for these areas.


I have high levels of personal integrity and will only commit or bid on projects if I know that I can deliver the results needed.

Here's some more general background:-

Update on the Sleepy Zoo iphone app this reached #27 in the ipad What's Hot list on the itunes store!
