OleOle provide football's largest social media website for whom I project led the development and maintenance of 1200 Facebook applications, one for each of the teams their database supported. I was responsible for everything from Linux server administration, full rsynced backups, server optimisation and MySQL replications to code development (PHP/Facebook API), Git versioning, design (XHTML/CSS/jQuery), page-load profiling and mailshots.

This is the Arsenal Facebook application.

I also ported stripped down versions of the applications to the Google Widget framework. Here is the Manchester United widget.

Wordpress sites are my bread and butter.

• Kate Griffiths (featured screenshot) — Translator.
• Elaine's Kitchen — Restaurant.
• Nicholas Bechgaard — Artist.
• Nicola Musgrave — Photographer.
• Morgan Griffiths — Management training courses.
• PJB Electrical — Builders and electricians.
• Synergise Consulting — Construction consultants.
• Steve Onyett — Solution focussed consulting.
• Sheer Uncanniness — Group blog.

(Shh, don't tell anyone, but I prefer Drupal to Joomla)

• Performance Live (featured screenshot) — Local hub for events and performers.
• 2Busy2Date (client-implemented design) — Speed dating.
• Puppy Linux — It's a shame because I became dissillusioned with the community and was no longer able to maintain the site and my original efforts have been replaced :( (Even the Way Back Machine didn't archive my CSS!) It was one of the biggest projects I've ever undertaken, involving contributors from across the globe and a feature-rich site. I even developed a distributed package management system.

• Impress PR (featured screenshot) — PR agency.
• Connolly and Callaghan — Sustainable housing.
• Organic Power Projects — Bio-energy system.
• Flair 4 Recruitment — Recruitment agency.
• Flair 4 Executive — IT and executive recruitment.
• Solan's Fine Art — Artist.

Whilst working for 2BeBrave I was occasionally asked to help theme Magento sites. Magento's built on the Zend framework, so it's a bit more complex to work with than your standard CMS. Oolongteashop.co.uk (pictured) was one site that I themed top to toe.

For a long time I hated javascipt and then I found jQuery, now I love it! I developed this underfloor heating calculator (pictured) using jQuery with a bit of AJAX.
