 PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Many sites featured in my portfolio were both managed and developed by me. Beginning with the initial customer consulting process through to establishing the database, web site architecture and finally the development of the web site code, bug testing and often ongoing site management.

If required I will find and work with alternate web specialists in areas that are outside of my expertise to ensure the most robust products & solutions. Often designs are done by myself or if desired I co-ordinate with a graphic designer.


 WEB SITE DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT

I have developed small and large web sites of all kinds - from simple static web sites to large e-commerce and business applications. I have a complete understanding and full experience of the entire development cycle.

My designs are fresh, unique & crisp, with attention to detail and extensive thought about the overall user experience, loading times & site appeal.


 DATABASE APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT & CMS's (content management systems)

I am a competent application architect with solid experience with relational databases.


 INTRANETS & CORPORATE SOLUTIONS

Experience with intranets includes:

  • In-house Invoicing & Docketing
  • Sales & Customer Relations Systems
  • Project Management System
  • Data Exporting & Importing Facilities

FastFlowers required an automated exporting system for sales to be dispatched to InterFlora, this system now works for both Australian Interstate & International orders.

I provided an invoicing and software renewal maintenance system for Trend Micro Australia and many in-house applications for GlobalHost including a project management system and a CRM.

A recent project, completed May 2007, included the complete build of an Employee Retention Planning Tool for Retention Partners. [ view their online demo ]


 SHOPPING CARTS & SSL (E-COMMERCE)

I have developed a lot of on-line SSL (secure) shopping carts.

Tummy Toys, Fastflowers, WSPA (World Society for the Protection of Animals) and Gifted Memories are some of the most recent gateways I have setup, I also developed the Caltex Starcash payment gateway in 2003.

I've done a lot of gateways for small businesses and charities who had existing sites, including The Inspire Foundation, Analysing Agriculture, and The Practice Marketing Ctr.
