I genuinely love doing my job, that might sound big headed but I do. Being able to work with different clients and see their visions come to life, and watch their Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) grow and develop is genuinely rewarding. I’ve loved working in a full-stack way since I first started coding as a teenager. I am grateful to have taken that passion and drive for web development and database management and turned it into my career. If you want to see some real world development work I’ve undertaken I’ve written several blogs.
“So Alex” you might be wondering, “what is it about your work that gets you out of bed and at your desk in the morning?”
Well firstly no two jobs are the same, my work is bespoke and I create custom builds for your business. This means new challenges and rewards for each piece of custom WordPress development – from finding the perfect WordPress Plugin to ensure excellent user experience and user interface through to creating a visually appealing online presence.
Some of my clients need front-end support, looking at issues that impact things such as user engagement. This I do through the use of my wide range of skills, this includes online store development, creating contact forms and where needed building high quality websites from scratch. When working with the front-end of custom web development I work closely with my clients to ensure their vision is brought to life in a way that supports their customers and their business goals. By making the front-end of the website easy to navigate and accessible my clients are able to reach more customers and bring back repeat custom.
Whilst some customers require support with the front-end of their online presence, another aspect of my job is working with the back-end, behind the scenes part of the website. This is where I get to feel a bit like a D&D wizard (and yes I play D&D) – working to ensure the website is built to promote data integrity and data security. I work to support my clients’ business demands through regular updates and making sure that backup and recovery is possible. I am highly skilled in a wide range of software development technologies – including HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
One of my favourite types of work is website development that is full-stack, working with both the front and back end of the website. Working full-stack allows me to custom design my clients online presence, especially when starting from scratch. I can work closely to ensure that my clients business needs and goals are achieved and their vision brought to life. Building a website from the ground up gives my clients peace of mind that their online presence works within GDPR legislation and that customers’ data is secure. Building a custom website from scratch as a freelance website developer also allows me to develop a website that has scalability built in from the start. With a website developed by my bespoke services you know your business’ future growth is factored in.
I really enjoy working on websites and supporting SMEs to grow and thrive via their online presence. I think if I told teenage-me that I was doing this as my career they’d be pretty proud. If that’s not a reason to be at my desk I don’t know what is.
