Most of my work over the past year has been installing, templating and customising content management systems including Wordpress, Drupal, X-cart (for e-commerce) and Joomla. Unfortunately I have just been made redundant from this job.

    I have about four year's experience of web design and development with HTML and CSS, and two year's experience of PHP and Javascript programming.

    Area Covered: Bristol
    Work Experience Summary: My experience includes:

    Coding templates in (X)HTML, CSS, and PHP from a design and setting up Wordpress, Drupal and X-Cart installations on the server, including some design and layout of inner product pages

    Setting up domains and subdomains and email for clients on the server using Plesk, transferring in URLs, helping clients set up their email and use their websites, including writing user manuals

    researching to find out the best modules and plugins and loading them onto the CMS to accomplish tasks like sending out newsletters, installing image slideshows, event management, directory listings, product listing and many other requirements

    Supporting clients with their email and website problems over the telephone and by email

    Modifying the PHP, Javascript and jQuery code for modules and templates

    Upgrading X-cart, Drupal and Wordpress installations

    Maintaining company Wiki with helpful coding and procedural guides to unusual tasks and problems

    Final testing in IE8, 7, 6, Opera and Safari, W3C standards and accessibility compatibility and fixing the inevitable IE7 and 6 problems.

    Creating a menu and category for company wiki and regularly adding to it

    Recent websites worked on include: keysecure.co.uk, octaga.co.uk, hamptonhire.com, weall-manage.com, millvaleltd.co.uk, mobilitydisabled.co.uk, alcina.co.uk, norinse.co.uk, sites4salons.co.uk, portal4pubs.co.uk, norinse.co.uk, marcusbarclay.co.uk, adaptandsustain.co.uk, luxuryholidayrentalskent.com, piccadillybackpackers.com and many others that are still in development. Please visit my online portfolio for more details about my involvement with these websites.

    For the mobilitydisabled.co.uk website I coded an interface in PHP and XML with E-bay Motors Pro website so the client could upload a product with one-click to their E-bay Motors Pro site, so they wouldn't have to enter the product twice. The interface had strict data requirements enforced by an XSL template. I also utilised PHP functions which check and highlight any problems in the data upload.

    I have recently been working on a complex site in Drupal (not live as yet), using hook functions in the template to make changes to core and contributed modules. During this process I have thoroughly learnt the Drupal CMS.

    I have also recently been working with the latest version of Wordpress, working with the new custom post and taxonomy systems, to create websites that are more customised to the type of page that the client has on their website.

    I have worked on several e-commerce websites using the X-Cart e-commerce CMS, and the WP e-Commerce plugin for Wordpress. I have coded a payment gateway for Barclays Worldpay for the WP e-Commerce, and styled the Worldpay payment page (website not live as yet).

    I also single-handedly worked on an internal project to the Managing Director's specification, to develop a Sales Calculator web application in object-oriented PHP and Javascript using the MVC design pattern for the business.

    This is a complex application that sets up Sales Agents selling web and print with logins, allows them to make a complex quote for a customer's website and print requirements with many options like whether they want hosting, design and coding, which CMS, how many products, how many pages, whether they want SEO, backlinking etc, and prints this quote off as a pdf or formatted web page for copy and pasting.

    It uses Ajax and jQuery plugins/libraries for a couple of features including providing a rich text box for text entry and sortable columns. The application automatically calculates the agent's percentage of the fee and the agent can apply a markup to the minimum fee, which receives a greater percentage, with different percentages and markups for print work.

    This is all saved in the backend for the admin to view and see sales figures for each agent. The admin can set all the prices linked to each option and the agent's percentage, add, edit or delete agents, edit quotes created by agents and also view all quotes, even ones deleted by the agent. I created a MySQL database to save all this and also much Javascript and Ajax to control the movement between pages.
    Education Summary: I have achieved the Diploma in Computing from the Open University which is for two years of full-time study. Last year I completed Open University courses in Open Source development, PHP, MySQL and Visual Basic (ASP.NET version using the Visual Studio 2008 Express IDE, but the course focussed on desktop software development rather than websites). The year before that I completed a course in Java and learnt to use the Netbeans IDE, this is very useful for PHP and Javascript also. I have been using Netbeans in my current job for PHP development.
