Freelance PHP MySQL Web Developer

PHP MySQL developer with experience building complex bespoke websites and web applications.

Foremost I am a developer. This means that I build systems. Making websites look pretty is down to a Web Designer. Don't confuse the two. While I am perfectly competent at Web Design, My rates reflect the fact that I am a Web Developer. I am more than happy to work with any Web Designers, all my work is strictly Logic, Presentation, Style Separated. This means that while I get the underlying core logic and system built to your exact specification, the Presentation and Style Layers I provide can be edited by any competent Web Designer without having to confuse them by mixing the design layer inside complicated PHP Scripting. All my sites use an HTML template system along with CSS.

So if you need a bespoke website that has allot of function to your exact requirements, then I'm your man! if you want a Drupal, Wordpress or other system, then I can help, but a bespoke system matched to your exact requirements will in my opinion serve your needs perfectly.

All my work is based around my own customised PHP framework, for which I will charge from £250 depending on what modules you would like me to include. My Framework represents over 5 years of focused development and rivals if not outperforms most OS Content Management Systems. My Advanced Content Management system is certainly the most powerful I have come accross. Some ready to go modules include:

  • Advanced Content Management System (CMS)
  • Article Publishing (Blogging)
  • Secure Admin Area (Complete with flexible access rights for Admins)
  • Full Site Statistics and Analytics (Metrics)
  • SEO Tools
  • Accounting (Income - Expenses - Tax reports)
  • Customer Relationship Manager (CRM)
  • FAQ Engine
  • Photo Galleries
  • Front End Template Editor complete with Photoshop style image editor
  • Task Management
  • Hotel Booking Module
  • eCommerce Module
  • eTickets Module
  • Project Management Module
  • Content Syndication Engine (Publish in real time to other sites like Facebook, Twitter, sNOWsh and more)
  • Realtime Connections (XMPP)

I can usually deliver a complete website site within one day, a hotel booking management system complete with tweaks to work exactly as you want in just 3. Whatever your needs, just drop me a line and we can figure out exactly what you need.

SEO - Search Engine Optimisation

All my systems approach SEO from the ground up, IE every line of code has been written with an end SEO goal. All links, titles, text blocks are semantically tagged and presented correctly to ensure that the technical side of SEO is already taken care of. My Sites consistently perform well in Search Engines like Google right out of the box. I also include SEO tools in the admin area to help you keep track of your websites performance, and give you insight into how to enhance your SEO, and gauge your site directly against your competitors.
