what I can do for you

My goal is to do the best job I can within your budget and time constraints. Feel free to contact me for a quote on your project or support needs.

custom applications, modules and layout

If it can be done with PHP, HTML and Javascript I can and likely have done it.

software installation and support

I have installed, written custom modules or solved problems for X-cart, Prestashop, Vanilla Forums, CMSMadeSimple, vBulletin, Joomla! / Mambo, VirtueMart, Gallery, Zen-Cart, osCommerce, phpBB, Drupal, TYPOlight, Wordpress, Magento (amongst others) and numerous pre-existing custom applications. I grok code and am able to solve problems that cause many other "web developers" to throw up their hands in defeat.

I have extensive UNIX shell experience and am not afraid of the command line when needed. I have installed everything from the server operating system itself (various Linux distros + FreeBSD) to server side applications (from source code) including MySQL, Apache, PHP, Exim, Mailman, ProFTPD and Wu-FTPD amongst others.

Progress is never ending. If you have a legacy application authored in PHP5.5 or below, I can assist in migrating it to recent versions of PHP. Likewise, queries based on older MySQL versions may need rewriting when migrating to newer versions of MySQL. I can help.

 

it is important to know your limitations

I make no pretense of being a graphic artist. If your needs are primarily to do with graphics and page layout, I am likely not the solution to your needs. That said, I can work with your designer to integrate their layout into whatever dynamic application you need as well as convert graphic mockups into working HTML / CSS layouts.
