Freelancer web designer
I am a professional web designer London/Palermo based, I am glad to provide quality work to those that are seeking my skills to fulfilled their projects in the following areas, tableless HTML/CSS, slicing PNG or PSD files into tableless HTML CSS, PHP, Flash site. Plus I also specialize in open source product deployment and customization like e-commerce website in Magento, and custom design for Wordpress too.
I always recommend the usage of Open Source CMS platforms, such as Wordpress and Magento. These are free, secure and powerful platforms, that save people a lot of money. Adopting these technologies is a wise option, especially in this time of financial difficulty. The client cuts costs in paying someone to update their site and doesn’t have to spend vast amounts of money on a commercial CMS platform. The added value I offer are code compliance, extra security, customization and full training to the site owners and/or their employees.
In particular the Magento system reduces the amount of design templates required for an ecommerce build as well as cost. This enables a more rapid design and development process and ensures consistency throughout the website.
I am keen to use new technologies into fresh and clear design while adhering to web standards sIFR (or Scalable Inman Flash Replacement) is an example, in fact as a web designer, sIFR gives me that bit more freedom to create unique and better looking websites. It also is a more practical solution to using images as headings, especially when considering SEO (Search Engine Optimisation).
I am bilingual, able to write, read, and speak in English or Spanish and of course Italian and what I enjoy doing is:
- I love simple and clean websites.
- I strive for elegant and functional web design.
- I am passionate about experimentation and new technologies.
- I am always looking for freelance work and new challenges
