About me
I am qualified up to MBA level in Business Development and backed by experience and hands on knowledge working for IT Training companies on all aspects of technology and since 2005 have been freelancing in all aspects of IT and Web Development working for such companies as Microsoft and Novell.
My background is primarily business develeopment for web, and since 2007 I specialise in search oriented design for Search engines (SEO). I started my own consulting setup leavening the job of a senior consultant.
Websites will be developed to be fully compliant with HTML / XHTML ,CSS the W3C Mark up Validation requirements and will be readable in all of the major browsers.
I have a collection of templates, components and modules already developed, for many web sites, and this will help me to provide you the solution you required with few times quicker.
I am working from the UK and Croatia, and have all server infrastructures ready in place on a live host. This means as a client you can see your web site getting shaped and provide feed back to the fine tuning of the site.
I am usually based in the UK and reachable over the phone, email almost 24/7. My clients mainly use SKYPE to contact and discuss requirements.
I work by setting expectations always exceeding clients’ requirement, and add every value for your money.
Each project is a unique piece of challenge for me, and seeing your site go live is a great satisfaction and a proof of my delivery capabilities. Each of these websites is vital for my survival in the business at hard times, and is a concrete proof of evidence for the success for me as well as for you.
