Core Frameworks

Life moves on, now it’s frameworks and technologies as much as software and platforms. My expertise lies in keeping up with the latest tools and tricks. So now, probably, what interests you is my expertise in HTML/CSS, jQuery Javascript, PHP – specifically within the WordPress platform, Filemaker script programming. But should you want a bit of Photoshop fairy dust, a piece of Illustrator artwork. or a professional InDesign or Quark Xpress layout, once learned, never forgotten.
