Hello! I am a friendly freelance front-end developer with a background in design, based in Stockport. I have over a decade’s experience working in Manchester digital agencies, and I’ve operated as a freelance developer since 2014.
If you’re looking for an experienced front-end developer to help your digital agency on a project or ongoing basis, then you’re in the right place. Check out my skill set below or get in touch for a chat to see if I can help you.
Front-end Development Skills
HTML
I write clean, semantic and accessible HTML which can easily be read by screen readers and search engines (and other developers!).
CSS (including SASS)
I use modern methods (like CSS Grid and Flexbox) with a wide knowledge of cross browser compatibility fixes for legacy browsers.
jQuery
I can write custom functions as well as integrate trusted plugin libraries (such as Fancybox 3 and Slick Slider).
I'm also currently learning
Javascript ES6.
Wordpress & ACF
I have an extensive knowledge of building lightweight, bespoke Wordpress websites with tailored page editors using Advanced Custom Fields.
PHP
For more complex server-side functionality like saving data to the database, triggering emails or generating PDFs.
Responsive Web Design
I have a solid understanding of Responsive Web Design concepts, mobile device usability and mobile browser quirks.
Page Speed Optimisation
I ensure all websites I build as lightweight and load fast, testing with Google Page Speed Insights and GTMetrix.
Design Flexibility
I can implement your designs from Illustrator, Photoshop or Sketch (using Invision) files.
Testimonials
It’s not only about technical skills. If you’re bringing a freelance web developer in on a project, then you want to make sure they will do what they say they will do and that they are an excellent communicator.
Of course I’d say I am a man of integrity who is great at communicating, but it sounds better if it comes from someone else.
Having worked with Paul on a number of projects, I can strongly recommend his web development services to anyone who requires a new website solution for their business.
Paul is professional, cost-efficient and has an excellent ability to deliver projects in a timely manner. You need look no further.
