Skills & interests

Computer skills

My specialty is frontend development; HTML/CSS and also some JS (mainly jQuery at the moment), but I am also pretty good at PHP and mySql. I used to be all about ASP/MSSQL but have happily put that one behind me.

I can take care of pretty much anything that is required around a web-page, even though some more server-related issues aren’t really my main bread and butter.

I have built several WordPress skins and always suggest people asking me for a ‘free’ website to use WordPress; it does most everything any regular person would need out of the box and anything else with some plugins. When all else fails I will happily charge you to build anything custom-made you would require!
