About Me

Hi, I'm Chris, a web designer and developer who is committed to working closely with clients to provide them with their perfect website. I like building sites that are clean and functional, but with an artistic flair which sets them apart from their competition.

I have a BA(Hons) degree in Communication Design which gave me a great foundation in Graphic and Web Design, but later pursued Web Development in my spare time, which landed me a job as a Web Developer at Emerge Group where I learnt many more skills.

Fast forward to the present day, and now I am living in Hong Kong as a full-time freelancer - always keen to take on new projects and learn new skills. As a general rule I tend to use either Drupal or Wordpress as my CMS of choice.

Main skillsets:

• Web Design using Adobe Software (Photoshop, Illustrator)
• HTML(5) and CSS(3)
• Javascript (especially jQuery), inc Ajax
• PHP and SQL
• Drupal theming and module development
• Wordpress theming
• Experience of other CMS: Modx, Joomla, Expression Engine, CMSMS
• E-commerce systems Opencart and Shopify
