  • About Me

    I’m a Cape Town based freelance web developer who specialises in PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, jQuery, HTML, CSS, WordPress and custom CMS development. I also make WordPress themes.

    With over 20 years experience in the industry I’ve had the privilege of working on a number of projects ranging in size and complexity from large enterprise systems where I functioned as part of a 10 man team to small boutique websites where I was the sole developer.

    If you’d like to hire me for a project get in touch.

    Web Development

    From website to intranet to blog no matter what your online needs might be I can provide the solution. I develop with PHP and MySQL.

    HTML and CSS

    When it comes to HTML less is more. I write concise, semantic HTML and CSS which ensures the websites I make are SEO friendly and structured for easy updating with no code bloat.

    jQuery

    Most commonly known for rendering Flash obsolete jQuery can add some extra bells and whistles that can really be the difference between a good site and a great site.

    WordPress

    Currently powering 39% of the web WordPress is a widely used open source content management system. Highly customisable and greatly optimised it’s an excellent springboard for development of your online presence.

    Custom CMS Development

    If you want to manage your website content but would rather opt for something slightly more scaled down I can tailor make a bespoke solution to fit your requirements.

    Responsive Websites

    We’re living in an age where mobile devices account for more than 50% of global internet traffic. To not have a mobile friendly website is to cut yourself off from a daily expanding market.
