My Web Work
I have extensive knowledge and hands on expreience in web development and I have a HNC in Interactive Media which included web development and the use of Adobe Dreamweaver.
I have built numerous websites, the first of which was www.holi-daze.co.uk (No longer hosted) which I used to privately rent out a villa in the Algarve. The site was successfull and the villa was always occupied during the weeks I was given to sell. In return for building the site, rather than money, I got a free week in the Algarve each year! Unfortunatelly the owners decided to sell the villa and I no longer had use for the site so didn't renew the domain.
Other small sites I have built are HomeFashionBoutique.co.uk (no longer hosted) and Our-Town-Mag.co.uk (Still under development).
Our-Pub.co.uk
The biggest site I have built myself, from scratch, is www.Our-Pub.co.uk which I originaly built in 2009. I have since completeley re-designed the site as my web skill have improved to improve useability, functionality and the asthetics. I use this site to offer design and print services to local pubs and bars around the Tameside area. The site has been successful and I now have a fair sized customer base. I get enquires from all over the county and sometimes beyond! I have even supplied menus to a bar in Mallorca! I have built Our-Pub.co.uk from the ground up. That includes the design, HTML layout, CSS styling, JavaScript left-hand-navigation and implementation of PayPal as an eCommerce solution. Everything you see on the Our-Pub.co.uk website is my own work.
Brother.co.uk
The largest corporate site I have worked on was for Brother-uk in Audenshaw, Denton.
I worked on Brother.co.uk from 2007 until I was made redundant in 2009. Brother.co.uk was CMS based so altough only a small amout of CSS and HTML was involved, I sill had a significant amout of control over the design and layout of the pages. I also I produced the vast majority of Flash work for the site. Working for Brother gave me a good insight into how a large, international company operate and good experience working as a Digital Marketing Specialist.
HPPOnline.co.uk
I started working for Hill's Pannel Products (HPP) in 2009 as a Web Marketing Designer. My roll at HPP is a lot broader than at Brother and my main responsibilities include...
- Updating the HPPOnline website with new products and ranges using an SQL product database, HTML, and CSS
- In-house photography
- In-house fim production (filming, editing and producing in Adobe Premiere)
- Liasing with customer regarding their online accounts
