If you like the content posted on this website you may be interested to know that I offer my skills on a freelance basis.  I can provide the following services:

• All types of web development at any level
• Technical web design and build
• Consultancy services on all areas of web development, design and usability
• Consultancy services on some areas of online marketing
• I can provide contacts for specialist web development areas

I can also provide off-the-shelf CMS software configured to your needs using my personally developed M3 CMS system (demonstrations are available on request).

My time is currently charged at £35 per hour. To give you some idea, I can fully build a typical portfolio website (fully content managed) from drawing board to final product in about 5 days. Based on an 8 hour day this works out at about £1400, roughly half what you would pay a fully fledged agency. I'm also able to provide e-commerce type website builds at competitive rates and can provide quotes on request.
