About
I'm a freelance Craft CMS specialist and front end developer. I provide development and consultancy services, mostly for web & digital agencies, as well as fitting in to existing teams. I've been building beautiful content managed websites since 2008. I work closely with my clients and enjoy forming long term relationships with the people I work with.
I mostly work with branding agencies who need an extra resource for their web projects. In this capacity I've worked as a developer, project manager and lead developer. I also maintain and update existing sites, helping clients to improve their web presence over time.
I focus on building sites in a way that makes them easy to maintain, taking the time to do things properly rather than something that just does the job at the time. I'm proud of my work, and I make sure it shows off the best of my clients.

Cerve
Cerve provide an application that establishes a real-time, automated communication between wholesalers and their buyers online, helping them to boost and automate their sales.
This project allowed them to migrate their placeholder marketing site to a fully editable, responsive and optimised site on Craft CMS. The site is set up in such a way that each area has its own colour scheme and light or dark versions, giving each area of the business it's own distinct feel. -
Bank of Guam
The Bank of Guam website was an interesting multi-timezone challenge; communicating with teams in Guam and California to build and launch the bank's new site from the ground up. We worked closely with their enterprise architecture team to comply with all the security and access requirements, and assisted with getting the site live on their chosen hosting platform.
The new site makes it clear for personal and business customers where to find the info they need, features a Google Maps integration for ATMs and branches, interest calculators, two blogs and Single Sign On for the client to login to Craft CMS using their existing user directory.

The project involved importing a huge amount of materials and images automatically to save SBI the time, and provides a categorised, filterable catalogue to make it easy to browse everything. There's also a filterable portfolio gallery, blog, resources section and profiles on all the team members.
