What I can do for you


If you are looking for a web developer who is technically proficient, is creative and solution-focused and can compliment any team, then look no further.

I specialise in all aspects of web development PHP, HTML, CSS, Javascript (inc. jQuery), MySQL
and API integration. I have used these skills to create dozens of fully functional LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL & PHP) based websites from scratch. I am also experienced with most non-web languages (Java, C++, Visual Basic etc) and feel that I can create a solution to any development need.

 

PHP 4 / PHP 5

PHP is the backbone of most web applications. Used on over 20 million websites, PHP is a server-side programming language that allows your website to become dynamic.

I have been creating websites and web applications in PHP for over 5 years, and have an in-depth knowledge of this powerful and versatile language. With it, I can bring to life whatever interactivity your website may require.

 

MySQL

MySQL is a database system that allows your website to store data for future use. From forums to blogs to facebook, almost all complex websites require a database in some form, and yours probably will too. The good news is I’ve been working with MySQL for years and have an expert-level knowledge of how to design, structure and interact with databases.

 

HTML 4.01 / HTML 5

HTML 4.01, and the still experimental HTML 5, is the main markup language of the web and is used by every website. I have a thorough understanding of every aspect of both the industry standard HTML 4.01, and the newer HTML 5, allowing me to bring your idea to life.

 

CSS2 / CSS3

CSS, or Cascading Style Sheets, control the presentation of websites – they’re what makes the code look great. I am a CSS pro who can create whatever visual presentation your website demands.

 


jQuery

jQuery is a Javascript library that enhances the user experience of a website. From animations to AJAX loading, all of your user interface requirements will be met with some of my professional jQuery magic.

 

Other Languages

I also have experience programming with:

  • Java
  • BASIC (and derivatives)
  • C++
  • Linux Commands

 

Design

Whilst I wouldn’t go so far as to describe myself as a designer, I’m competent at designing layouts and user interfaces for websites. I mostly work in Adobe Fireworks, but have experience designing in Adobe Photoshop as well:

  • Adobe Fireworks
  • Adobe Photoshop

 

APIs

As the internet continues to evolve, there’s a growing need for your web application to communicate with other services. Whether it’s logging users into your site via Facebook, or processing a credit card payment through Paypal, these communications are carried out via APIs.

I have experience and expertise in the following APIs:

  • Facebook
  • Paypal
  • 
Google
  • 
Twitter
  • Salesforce
  • pCharts
  • JForex
  • 
DomPDF

 

CMSs and Frameworks

Whilst I prefer not to use them (I prefer to write a custom control panel for each project), I am also highly proficient at integrating websites with a wide range of content management systems and application frameworks, including but not limited to:

  • WordPress
  • Zend
  • Marketo
  • Joomla
  • Drupal
  • Symfony
  • CakePHP
  • PHPBB
