Portfolio

Listed below are some websites I have designed and built.

In addition, I have also worked on internal web-based applications (see below) for a number of clients. As these are internal systems, they are not publicly accessible. These include a JSP web application with a SQL Server back-end and an ASP.NET web application with a SQL Server back-end.

Websites with XHTML/CSS/Javascript

www.immigrationireland.com - the owners of this small business approached me when they wanted to overhaul their existing web site. Working with them, I redesigned the site, devising a more user-friendly navigation structure and incorporating elements of SEO to improve their web hits. I incorporated updated copy written by the client, working it into the site structure.

www.completeboilerservices.co.uk - I built this site for a new business in boiler servicing and maintenance in the UK. To begin with, the customer had a logo and that was about it. I helped the customer produce the site content, tailoring it for SEO. I built a site with a clean, simple layout, based around the gas flame logo and from this we created a brochure website with the objective of marketing and advertising the business online. Use of relevant keywords in the appropriate parts of the site, along with URL submission to some of the main search engines and directories resulted in this site appearing in the first page of search results on major search engines for various search term combinations after about one month (without resorting to pay-per-click).

www.redstore.ie - this site is partially complete - the owner of The Red Store bar & restaurant is in the process of writing content for the site. It's a good example of a div-based layout - try resizing your browser window to make it smaller, and see how the text appears to adjust to the new size.

www.mumsformums.com - Mums for Mums is a small, local NGO based in Mekelle, in the Tigray region of Ethiopia. I created this site for them in 2004, whilst I was working as a volunteer at Mekelle University (more about that on my personal web site, if you're interested). They had a site before that but it was badly designed and in need of a makeover, so I duly recreated the whole site. I still maintain the site for them (and they are doing amazing work to combat HIV/Aids and to help the marginalised of their society at community level).

Web-based Applications

I have also built internal web-based systems for client organizations. Two in particular are:

For an Irish head-quartered multi-national, I developed from start to finish a system used by account managers to track customer projects, recording project and invoicing information. This is integrated with the SalesForce.com enterprise sales application and was built using JSP web pages with Java back-end classes and a SQL Server 2000 database. I worked with the client to flesh out the system requirements, from which I developed the system in an iterative process, continually working with the client to ensure their needs were being met.

For a high profile homeless agency in Ireland, I developed a management information system that is used to record key performance data for monitoring and evaluation purposes. The system was built on a Microsoft platform, using ASP.NET 2.0 with a SQL Server 2005 database. The system has allowed the organization to provide management reports that were not previously possible and also has built-in tracking and reports that allow managers to monitor their team leaders' entry of key performance indicators.
