About

Bio

Hey, I'm Jake. Im a Web Designer currently based in Manchester, I currently work for one of the largest Search Engine Optimisation Companies in the United Kindgom. I have a passion for designing and creating new, nice and interactive websites. However my design work is not just limited to websites, I have created business cards and always complete as many Photoshop tutorials as I can.

I have currently redesigned my portfolio (Uploaded on the 16th of July), I wanted this site demonstrate the work I can undertake. Below is more information on the skills that I have and the tools that I use to complete the jobs.

My Skills

  • HTML
  • CSS
  • SEO
  • PHP & MySQL
  • WordPress
  • Google Analytics
  • jQuery (Learning)

My Tools of the Trade

  • Adobe CS3 Suite
  • White Macbook
  • Ipod Touch
  • Sennheiser Wireless Headphones
  • Black Notepad
  • WD Passport
  • FileZilla

The way I like to work is to have as much communication as possible with the clients. This basically means that during the whole process, from start to finish, the client will be able to see the progression that has been made as well making sure that the idea I have created matches their expectations.

Below is a quote that seems I feel is very true, which is why I love my job.

"Choose a job you love and it never feels like your working"

However I'm not always focused on work, my other interested are typical really any sports and gaming. If I'm not working on the computer I'm either playing Fifa 11 or Battlefield on the Xbox 360.

Portfolio

Below is the only website that has been completed by myself, however there are a few more sites that in development and should be appearing here in the next 2 - 3 weeks (written on the 16th of July - Timestamp). But there are some examples of the design work that I have completed, including business cards.

This section is basically to give an overview of the work that I am capable of completing, it provides a good overview as you can see the different styles I like to use. When undertaking a project I will design something that will match up to industry you are in but will make you stand out.

Squires Fish Restaurant

Squires Fish Restaurant

This is a website that has been redesigned and was launched on the 8th July 2011. This site now matches with the restaurants fantastic reputation. As well as doing redesigning the website, I have assisted the client throughout the whole process with progress calls and also liasing with National Newspapers which have reviewed the site in recent weeks.

This site was designed to be more simplistic, artistic as well as providing all the information for users of the site.
