Joomla
Joomla is a popular open source Content Management System (CMS) which allows people from complete novices upwards to manage their websites using either the default templates or ones that are easily available online. I have created a site using Joomla including creating a template especially for the site.
Search Engine Optimisation
Search Engine Optimisation (commonly abbreviated to SEO) is the practice of getting a site to appear sooner in search engine results and as such increase the volume of traffic to the website. I cannot guarantee a site will top the searches but I do take search engines into account when developing sites and follow webmaster guidelines to increase search visibility.
Along with programming I have a number of skills that can be useful for creating websites. These include but are not limited to the following.Photography
I am a keen amateur photographer, particulary taking interest in man made objects and natural landscapes, especially the combination of the two.
Photo Editing
I have used both Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro to edit photos including touching up imperfections to allow the photo to look cleaner. I can also use them to create images for use on sites, for example as a header or footer.
Web Design
Although I specialise in developing websites I can also, and have done so, design websites. The websites that I design are simple in their layout and graphics and are designed to work across screen resolutions and are tested between 800x600 and 1280x800.
