Description

I have 20 years experience in the web design and development industry, helping clients of all types/sizes along the way.

My main qualification is a 1st class degree in Internet Technologies from the University of Greenwich, plus I am always keen to further develop my skills to ensure that both my work is varied and my skillset is diverse.

Initially my skills were primarily front-end development, however, over the years I have taught myself how to develop and integrate with platforms including MODx CMS, WordPress and ExpressionEngine CMS. I also have great experience of developing e-commerce websites using EE CMS and WooCommerce along with payment gateways including SagePay, WorldPay, Stripe and PayPal.

Above all else I am a very reliable person who likes to develop long term relationships with my clients as it's mutually beneficial. I would like to think that I'm very easy to work with, especially as it's done remotely, making the process as efficient as possible!

Thanks for reading, Wes.

Eventually grew tired of working for someone else so decided to branch out on my own, where I became self employed.
