Portfolio
Below is a list of the more common services which I offer. Many of the items have links to case studies where you can read about projects I have handled in that specific field. If you need something which is on the list, please still feel free to contact me as, even if I can't help, I might know someone who can.
SMS / Web Applications.
Whether you want SMS (text-messages) delivered to your e-mail, an SMS helpline for your customers, or an income-generating SMS service, I have the experience necessary to deliver the solution you require.
Flash Development
Macromedia's Flash is the perfect tool for delivering web-based multimedia experiences, animations and games; the program's vector-based format allows for small download times and the fact that 98% of web-users (460 million people) can view Flash content immediately means that the format is almost as accessible as HTML. I have been designing with Flash for over 3 years.
Database-Driven Dynamic Sites
As the internet has evolved, web sites have stopped being digital equivalents to a glossy brochures and have taken on a greater role: the public face (and first port of call) for your company. Keeping your web site fresh and up to date requires an able professional, unless you have a Content Management System. A CMS allows even the most techno-phobic to update a website and keep it in a viewable state.
PHP/ASP.Net
PHP and ASP are both highly effective and extremely popular server-side scripting technologies. If your site requires a lot of data-processing, database access or file system negotiation, then it is more than likely that a solution which incorporates one of these technologies is required.
HTML/XHTML/CSS Static Sites
Despite the emphasis placed on alternative solutions, static sites are still very much a part of the internet, and will no doubt carry on representing the most cost-effective method for small businesses and individuals to gain a presence on the web.
Website Redesigns and Updates
I am perfectly willing to maintain, or redesign, sites that were not originally created by myself. This type of work is becoming increasingly popular due to the proposed web-site accessibility laws, as well as the ever faster tide of technological development.
Web Consultancy
Not sure what you need? Had someone else tell you, but would like a second opinion? Not sure how the latest technological advances impact your business? I now offer my consultation independently from my other services.
Graphic Design
It is unfortunate, but also true, that we are generally guilty of judging books (and web sites) by their covers. No matter how graceful the underlying code, a poor visual appearance is enough to deter visitors. I take especial pride in designing sites that are not only highly functional, but also beautiful and clean. If you do not have the required graphics, then I would be happy to create them for you.
Game Design
A well-made game on your site can provide a lot more than just boost to your customers working-day. Games and other "e-toys", when implemented correctly, can prove to be some of the most "sticky" elements of a site, providing high percentages of return visits. Further to this, they can be used for polling clients and gleaning customer contact information.
