Just A Guy Coding

My Process. How I Work and Do Business.

Feel free to get in touch for a chat about your project.

I'm always pleased to speak to prospective clients about upcoming projects and provide free no obligation quotations. My preferred development approach is to use a test driven prototyping methodology. I can:

• Provide and work from PSD designs;
• Supply build documentation (UML, E-R diagrams, Structured Design);
• Work in a team (Git, CVS, Team Foundation Server),

Before development begins I ask clients to agree a project plan itemising project milestones and our commitments to each other.

CMS Website Development

Blogger, Wordpress and Umbraco.

My clients expect websites they can update & maintain themselves, so naturally I've develop websites on the big three CMS platforms: Wordpress, Blogger and Umbraco

The choice of CMS often depends on finance and infrastructure considerations:

• Charity, non-profit and voluntary organisations often opt for Blogger with its free hosting, my portfolio includes a local Action group, a political group and a Kindle author.
• Businesses and design agencies prefer Wordpress and Umbraco, like this site developed for a UK hardware manufacturer and the JAGC site itself.

PHP and ASP.NET Website Development.

Custom made, one of a kind websites, just how you want them.

Some projects require original design, specific customised functionality, have certain hardware or infrastructure requirements, or need to be integrated with other systems and technologies. That's fine, I do that too.

I recently worked for Inspiration Inc, a design agency, to produce online reservation systems for their clients in the vehicle trade. The Agency managed the projects and I designed and developed the code to their specifications. The web applications enable vehicle owners to lookup vehicles by registration, find their nearest dealerships, select dates from a customised calendar, retrieve address information by postcode, enter discount codes and ultimately make their service bookings.
