I'm a freelance web developer living and working in Manchester, UK.

I have worked in conjunction with many other Manchester web firms, as well as independently with my own clients on a huge range of projects. I'm also a founding Director and Developer at Tariff Street Limited, a web design and development agency in Manchester's Northern Quarter.

What can I do, you ask?

My skills include PHP, MySQL, XHTML, CSS, jQuery Javascript and AJAX, and I'm brilliant at PSD to HTML/CSS conversion. I'm currently having a love affair with CSS frameworks and CSS3, especially the lovely Twitter Bootstrap, which has inspired my love of clean, semantic HTML and effective CSS toolkits for development (And this site!).

But my real love is coding large-scale PHP applications and bespoke content management systems. I use Yii as my PHP development framework, although I'm well used to Wordpress and I love building apps from scratch, too.

I have a great deal of experience in running and maintaining websites on a daily basis, including writing and editing content, tweaking performance and integrating twitter, facebook and other social media gizmos, as well as E-commerce integration with Paypal.

There's also a chance you might have seen me in my former career playing drums with Nine Black Alps - a Manchester rock band who came to fame in 2004. We had 3 top-40 singles, you know. I still make music occasionally.

Anything else?

I'm available for freelance work - anything from Photoshop HTML/CSS conversion to fully-fledged dynamic PHP sites and web applications. And together with my colleagues at Tariff Street Limited we can offer a full web service from Digital Strategy, through Design, Development and Deployment. Please contact me to discuss your requirements!
