PHP Web Development
PHP is the main programming language I use to develop websites and systems. It is an open-source, versatile and mature development language which enables much of the interactive content seen on the web today. I have 10 year's experience to date as a PHP developer.
PHP enables me to create agile developments using programming techniques such as object-orientated code, system integration and to make the most of a range of open-source code used today on the web, such as Wordpress, Os Commerce and other Content Management Systems.
Portfolio
I list a number of my website design and development projects which I have developed for clients both as a freelance web developer and previously as an employed agent. As I offer a sub-contracting service, many projects I have developed are excluded from my Portfolio.
Content Management Systems
I have developed several bespoke Content Management Systems over my 10 years of website development. CMS enables clients to manage the content of their website using a simple intuitive interface accessed securely from any web browser. The range of CMS functions that I provide range from page management, e-commerce, product control, reporting and publishing.
Website Development Blog
My blog contains posts relating to work in website development plus my views on a range of other subjects. There are plenty of hints and tips for website developers along with the latest news from my freelance web development projects.
Contact Me
If you wish to discuss working with me on any website development project, please contact me via my contact page. I work from an office in Amble, Northumberland and have clients in Newcastle, Durham, Darlington and throughout the UK. I am always open to working with new clients both directly and as a sub-contracting developer and love working on interesting and exciting development projects.
PHP & MYSQL – the LAMP system
PHP and MySQL form a half of the “LAMP” attributes which make up my main website work. PHP is a programming language, MySQL is a database system, Apache is a web server and Linux is the operating system from which they all operate. I have been a LAMP developer for 10 years and can both develop on a LAMP platform and assist in setting LAMP systems up on servers or hosting platforms.
Systems and Website Integration
I work to integrate websites with other website using my website development skills and experience. Many non-web systems can be integrated into websites using protocols such as API, SMS, XML and SOAP. Systems I have integrated include Postcode lookups, Payment Gateways, Back-Office systems and Stock Control Management Systems.
