About Me
I started working on Websites in 1996, initially designing and maintaining a technical corporate site. Since then, I have worked in the heart of Silicon Valley, California, designing Websites, application front-ends and animated executive presentations within a corporate IT group prior to returning to Scotland. I am now based in Argyll and have been enjoying partnering with organisations and businesses, and getting them established on the Internet with a professional Web presence. My experience includes the following:
- CSS-based Website Design
- Graphics design and animation
- Industry standard, fully supported, expandable and robust content management system
- Database development: MySQL and PHP.
- Usability: All of my sites are fine tuned to meet optimal user requirements. A heightened awareness of usability needs and trends is therefore necessary.
- Webserver Administration: Unix, Apache Webserver, FTP.
- Desktop Publishing for the Web
- Content creation: Much of my Web-based work has involved a good deal of content creation, including articles and help documentation. This requires good English communication skills as well as awareness of key word placement.
- Holiday booking system integrations
- Search Engine Optimisation(SEO): enhancing website visibility on search engines
