Featured design: Stoneleigh Methodist Church
The client requested a clean and simple website which allowed them to publish information for viewing by their church members and others who were interested. They already had a dated website which was incomplete. After discussion with the user, we came to an agreement on the design and I got to work. Within the week the design was ready for the content to be added.

Windows applications
I have been developing windows applications using the .NET framework and C# code syntax, but have also developed and have experience in Visual Basic & VBA. All the applications I develop are freeware.
Please feel free to explore my online windows applications portfolio and contact me if you have any queries.
Featured application: PS3 Bluetooth Remote Application
This application allows the user to use an Official Sony PS3 BluRay Bluetooth remote within Windows. You can map each button on the remote to a remote keypress and therefore it can be used with any application that handles keypress events (most media players do). This application has been tested and works on Windows XP 32bit, Windows XP 64bit, Vista 32bit & Vista 64bit (.NET 2.0 required).
Project length: 1 week.
Skills required: C#.NET.
Setup instructions: simply download and install the application. The application will appear in the system tray when run (.NET 2.0 required).
