Services
Web Design
I can develop custom websites using the latest technologies such as PHP and javascript to provide a responsive solution which can perform functionality specific to the client. From booking systems to enquiry screens, I aim to provide a high quality of work for each bespoke project I undertake.
Database Management
When first developing a website it is important to consider the data needed to support the system. I offer a database management service alongside web development which will allow the database to be managed efficiently and to be fully integrated with your new website.
Social Media
Developing an online presence is an important part of any business and one such area of this is a good familiarity with social media platforms. I therefore provide support for setting up and maintaining social networks as well as incoporating these within my web solutions.
