Chris Booth - web developer and programmer

I am a computer programmer, I have been programming professionally for 15 years.

During my career I have developed Windows services, device drivers, computer games, aircraft simulations, virtual realities and more database front-ends than I care to remember. While working for other companies I have developed websites for companies such as ABB, Barbour and Reebok.

There aren't many technologies I haven't seen in the course of my career. I can develop websites using Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP. I can also develop for Windows/IIS using ASP.NET and SqlServer.

Naomi's beautiful designs look great on paper and even posted to a wall. On the web those design should come alive and work for their living. I can programme any functionality your website needs and any systems you need to run your website. For example

  • Edit your site's text and manage your products with a content management system.
  • Allow your customers to shop online with a shopping basket and payment system.
  • Give your customers a lively and commpelling experience with interactive webpages and exciting effects.
  • Allow people visiting your site to add comments, pictures, feedback and join a community.
  • I can also write bespoke programmes that run independant of your website doing anything you require.
  • In addition I can help keep your site running with backups and IT systems.
