web application development

Web applications are all about “making the web work” – taking a website beyond a shiny exterior by adding content and purpose.

I offer services to cover the entire life-cycle of developing a website: from the initial concept and architecture (”boxes and lines”) to the development of the site (”coding”) through to final launch and support (”keeping it running”).

With experience across numerous sectors and industries, I have worked on projects from small micro-sites through large national e-commerce platforms. I am flexible in my approach and work with a variety of technologies, products and solutions – I strongly believe in selecting the best tools for solving the problem at hand.
