Freelance Website Developer in Croydon

I am a freelance website developer based in Croydon, South London. I have been building websites for 15 years with over 12 years experience in PHP/MySQL development. During that time I have worked on a wide range of projects in many industry sectors including; education, health, technology, entertainment, finance, retail, security and government.

I have a very broad knowledge of web technologies and how they interact. This includes a deep understanding of the Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP (LAMP) web-server environment and how this can be best utilised to build reliable, fast and search engine friendly websites and web applications.

I use object oriented coding techniques and my code is well commented for easy reading by other developers.

I have a strong background in design and work well with designers to deliver their vision into a working web application. I am often called upon to advise on technical issues relating to a proposed design before commencement, thus ensuring the end result is archived without any unnecessary complications.

The HTML code I write for you will validate correctly to web standards laid down by the World Wide Web Consortium W3C.org.

I take security very seriously and my coding practices ensure that your website and your data are not vulnerable to common hacking techniques such as SQL injection attacks or header injection attacks.

Who do I work for?

I work for creative agencies, web design companies, marketing companies, training providers and media production houses that require expert technical services on a freelance basis. I also work for SME’s and larger corporate customers to provide ongoing support and development, ensuring the smooth running of their online presence and making sure upgrades and enhancements are made in a timely fashion.

I work for companies throughout the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, Europe, Australia and North America.

When I work for your company I am very discreet and treat details of your projects with the utmost confidence. I am happy to sign a non-disclosure agreement and I will agree to liaise directly with your customers as a member of your team.

Over the years I have built up a huge code library enabling me to work very quickly and very flexibly. My response times to end-user changes are fast and I will work the hours necessary to deliver a project on time. I am not just a 9-5 service.

How much do I charge for web development?

I base my fees on a flat hourly rate for smaller projects, maintenance and updates. For larger projects I will provide you with a written quotation based on your brief. Drop me an email or call me on 07855 255 316 for details.
