Web Development

Check out my current and past website development. I have worked with a number of clients (not all shown here) over the years and unfortunately some of these websites are no longer available.

PizzaZ

www.pizzazbrixham.co.uk

Designed and produced for a friend, Matthew Foxwell runs a Pizza restaurant in the picturesque town of Brixham in Devon, England. To simplify the maintenance of the site, I used media queries for Responsive web design and then to gain maximum potential visibility, I used SEO practices, Google analytics for monitoring and Google Business and Bing Places along with local listings to increase the local value. If you are in the area, check out his gorgeous pizzas! Unfortunately, PizzaZ closed in July 2018.

Ann Walker & White Arrow

www.annwalker-whitearrow.co.uk

I designed this website for a dear friend, Ann Walker and her spirit guide White Arrow. This website hadn't been updated for a long time and was in need of a refresh. Again, using the same structure as PizzaZ, the site was crafted to be search engine friendly, and then responsive design techniques to showcase Ann's journey, from a destop browser down to a mobile device.

Mikey Hall Yoga

www.mikeyhall.com

This website was updated for Mikey Hall and his yoga business teaching Iyengar Yoga. The current website was designed by another developer but I moved his website from one web host to another and simplified the code to make it responsive design. This improved the loading times for all users and helped to increased Mikey's page ranking for his site.

Man & Van Services (Ashford)

www.manandvanashford.com

This website was updated for Nigel Jones and his Man & Van Services company. The current website was designed by another developer. I moved his website to a UK web host and simplified the code to improve loading times. I also made the site mobile-friendly. Both of these actions helped to improve how Google and Bing see Nigel's website, and therefore would contribute to improved rankings.

Do you need my help?

Do you have an under-performing website or is suffering from lack of mobile support? Do you want the same work done as for Mikey and Nigel?
Drop me an email if you are interested in what you read.

The cost is based on the size of your website, for any changes required such as improving loading times, mobile friendly pages and any future work. I never ask for ongoing hosting costs. I always believe that website owners should be in charge of their own domains and their web hosting, and all notifications and billing should go to the client - this makes it simple. It also means that should there be a breakdown in the relationship with your developer, you will still retain complete control.

Save Our Earth

www.saveourearth.co.uk

This was my first website and is used to raise awareness of saving the rainforests and promote good environmental practice. We created campaign actions, maintained a list of World Leaders and their addresses, ran a petition count to save the rainforests and kept visitors up to date with a newsletter. In 2002, we visited Downing Street in London to deliver the petition signatures to the then UK Prime Minister, Tony Blair.

It has used Perl and PHP with MySQL databases. This site has been active since 2001 and was recently updated.

z/CLS

I developed this website for the 24x7 Operations team at my employer to record incidents and changes. It replaced a terminal-based application and added new features and reports. This was written in Perl, Javascript and HTML and has been agile-developed over the past 14 years. It has undergone a major version update to enable use across all of the Operating Companies.

mvsWEB

This was originally developed as a portal for the MVS systems at my employer. It consolidated four separate websites into one central site. These sites allowed the MVS team to broadcast bulletins to the MVS community, have an up to date display of the systems and relevant information, display hardware configuration data from the IODFs and to manage software changes in a peer review/approver system.

In time, this has evolved with the Software change system now managing all of the changes on the MVS and ALCS systems. To accomplish this, the site was rewritten to allow a user-defined configuration to be used.

The IODF/IOCP Display function has been added z/OS Mainframe section.
