Dr John Ward - PHP/MySQL Freelancer & E-Commerce Specialist

After six years experience in design, implementation and adaption of profitable e-commerce websites written in PHP/MySQL, and in helping a number of businesses to develop and fine tune their e-commerce capabilities I offer a number of services to improve the fuction of your site and the visibility of your products world wide.

There are many refinements which can be made to the code behind your website to help give you the advantage. I can adapt the underlying structure of your website to make it more customer and search engine friendly, and to help place your products and services before those of your competitors without changing the look and feel of your site.

I can improve the function of your website, from the perspective of both webmasters and customers: Whether you are looking to iron out troublesome snags which may prevent your site from going live (such as nochex apc integration), or to refine critical areas of your site ( such as shopping carts and payment systems) I can provide efficient and cost effective solutions to give your site full functionality, and free you to concentrate on the more important aspects of your business.

My services include:

Full Integration and troubleshooting of payment systems such as PayPal and Nochex including the Nochex APC and Paypal API. Enable your site to respond directly to customer payment - updating stock/membership levels and issuing invoice e-mails.

Development of custom e-commerce systems and customisation of existing open source packages to suit your requirements. Gain the advantage with some customisation to your 'out of the box' e-commerce site.

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and e-commerce website marketing tailored towards dynamically driven websites. Most 'out of the box' shopping sites are not structured with search engines in mind - this will limit your products exposure on the market, and make you no more visible than your competitors using similar e-commerce systems.

Navigation systems designed and redesigned to focus on ease of use by potential customers

Integration of user friendly Content Management Systems (CMS) to allow the 'under the bonnet' technical bits to be kept well away from harm during the day to day update of the content of your site.

Full awareness of trading standards regulations related to e-commerce and distance selling.

Example sites:

Mary Ward Books
Wildlife and Countryside Link (members only area)
Pedestrian Dynamics

I undertake projects on an hourly/daily or fixed fee basis. Please feel free to contact me with your e-commerce requirements
