Web Development

Firstly, I should stress that I am a web developer, rather than designer. Although I take an interest in CSS, the majority of my work involves either client-side (eg javascript) or server-side (eg PHP, Perl) scripting, and MySQL. In fact, almost all of the sites I develop these days use PHP and MySQL on Linux/Unix platforms.

Over the years I have struck up relationships with several Web design companies in the UK and USA who provide me with work on a semi-regular basis. Typically these companies specialise in design, but have limited knowledge of programming, and so out-source such tasks to me. Such arrangements work out well, allowing me to concentrate on what I love doing best (back-end scripting), without having to liaise with clients or fiddle with web graphics and html.

Past projects include:

Online furniture store, including shopping cart and admin control panel

Content Management System (CMS) for a well known private school

Feature-rich dating site with chatroom, public/private photos, favourites list, advanced searching etc

Several cashback (rewards) site

Autoresponders

MLM scripts

Real Estate site, featuring dynamically updated maps (PHP GD)

I regularly also find myself modifying or troublshooting popular scripts such as:

OSCommerce

PHP Nuke

4Images/4Images Forum

PHPBB
