Amersham Dec is a brilliant example of a simple informational website for a shop that currently has its main presence in a physical location. The elegant and user-intuitive interface enables visitors to easily find out which range of products/brands the store stocks and details of how visitors can contact the shop either by phone, post or using the built-in contact form that uses CAPTCHA to help prevent spam posts. The vast majority of the target audience; decorating trade Continue reading →

Decor Scene was a smaller, simpler project I worked on. Mike from Decor Scene tasked me with creating a simple, user-friendly website that gave Decor Scene, a family run DIY store, a web presence. For the main design I approached a company I had recently worked with Webslash to design a simple, elegant and modern website that made an impact on any user who visited. After a few drafts we were there and it was down to me to slice the design and code it. As the site itself i Continue reading →

Web development firm Webslash approached me with the task of integrating their design for a new joke sharing website, Jokepants, into an existing script called FMyScript. FMyScript is a story sharing script. This was a relatively quick project as the script was already coded and just required modifications to make it suitable for jokes as opposed to stories.

City Coupons, a very recent project, in essence is a full content management for coupons. Using the system you are able to add printable, SMS and viewable coupons to your website. In addition to this, the system has a range of other features to offer.

About Me

Me!

Me!

Hi. I’m Sam Cleaver, a second year student at Coventry University in Electronic Engineering. I’m also a web developer with almost 8 years experience in programming. I can code in HTML, CSS, Javascript, AJAX (jQuery), Perl, PHP, MySQL in addition to server system administration. I used to live in Hemel Hempstead (now mostly Coventry) I went to The Cavendish School where I studied the usual core subjects and in addition to them, German at GCSE level and then I.T and Design & Technology: Product Design at A-Level.

I have been active in the web community for a long time now, most commonly on forums such as NamePros and DevShed where I post problems as well as most commonly answering them ;) . There have been various exciting projects I have worked on over the years, from creating my own content management systems to creating entire websites as Twerq and FetchMP3.

I am a determined individual that very rarely gives up on anything, even when tasks seem almost impossible, *cough* fetchmp3′s flv retrieval system *cough*.  I take a good approach to problem solving and never have a problem trying to take a completely different approach to a problem if it results in a faster resolution. I work well in teams and often find that by delegation and finding peoples strengths and weaknesses a very effective team is not very hard to establish at all no matter what the task ahead is.

In addition to my freelance web developer work and studying at University, I also work at Debenhams providing great customer service to everyone! :-D
