Freelance Front End Developer

Recent projects

Matthew Broadbent : Broadbent Surveyors

Bob has provided us with a wide range front end web and design services over the last 5 years. These services range from designing stationery through to re-vamping our current website. Last year, we instructed Bob to specifically optimise our site for mobiles and tablets. He turned this work around within a few days and it was carried out to his usual high standards. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

Rick Garnett : RF Media

Bob has been a reliable supplier to RF Media on several occasions and has worked with us on numerous projects. His expertise and efficiency make it a pleasure to have him as part of our project team, knowing that what we ask of him will be completed on time and to the highest standard. He is able to offer advice and pertinent solutions to project issues that may be fully relied upon. We would have no problem in recommending Bob to other companies in our sector.

Andrew Tillman : Roadsense

Bob is a pleasure to work with and one of the very few designers I have come across over the years who I can give a brief to and know it will be delivered on time, on spec error free and looking great.

He is creative, innovative and instead of saying it can’t be done, he finds ways to make the difficult stuff happen.

Karin Dubois : Innovate Futures

Bob stepped in with a tight deadline to work across two sister websites simultaneously, and he was simply fantastic. Our experience of Bob is that he is dependable, reliable, quick, with all the right expertise to have the sites on test in no time at all. We were beyond thrilled with his delivery and would thoroughly recommend his services.

Matt Drewry : Match.com

It’s actually a pleasure to recommend Bob and what he’s helped us with in the past. Its no understatement to say Bob has saved the day for us at Match.com on a number of occasions. On complex projects, it’s been refreshing to have utmost confidence that the piece he’s working on will come in on time / budget and with a level of innovation and accuracy that our brand and users demand – leaving me free to worry about other elements.

Bob is technical, skilled at all levels of design, a flash genius, cheerful and amiable. I just wish he would let us hire him permanently!

Matthew Roberts : Holmfirth Town Juniors FC

Knowing Bob as one of our “football Dads”, whose son plays for our Community Football Club Holmfirth Town Junior FC, we asked Bob if, using his expertise, he would design a new website for the Club.

What we now have is a brilliant bespoke, real time, simple to use website which does a fantastic job of showcasing our club both internally, to our parents and children, as well as externally to potential new players wanting to see what our great club is all about.

Bob has an “anything is possible“ and “nothing is too much to ask” demeanor which made it a pleasure to work with him on this project prior to going live and on an ongoing basis.

Anne-Marie Johnson : Creative Exchange

The logo that Bob produced for my business, Creative Exchange, is contemporary, vibrant and upbeat. Bob has a natural talent for design and he combines this with a positive professional approach.

His creative ideas began flowing a few minutes into our initial conversation. He then went on to turn the work around in just two days, consulting me at various points. I am delighted with both the end result and of the overall service provided.

Stephen Moon : Studio North

Bob not only delivers the goods but is extremely talented. Every project he approaches he does with care and professionalism. He meets and usually exceeds deadlines. Bob is an absolute joy to work with.

Richard Hyde : Photolink

I worked with Bob during my time at Photolink Creative Group and cannot commend him highly enough. As far as front end developers go, in my opinion, they don’t come any better than Bob. His attention to detail is meticulous and he always ensures that the build is as close to the design as physically possible. On top of this, his builds are always thoroughly cross-browser tested and always adhere to W3C CSS validation.

His skills stretch well beyond XHTML and CSS and he is also an expert in Flash and ActionScript too, which was fantastic for me as a flash designer working along side him. He’s also a thoroughly nice chap to boot, and an absolute pleasure to work with.

Zoe Johnson : Freelance Marketing Consultant

Bob has been an invaluable asset. He consistently comes up with the goods – his creative skills are excellent and his technical know how superb – a rare combination. We thoroughly enjoy working with him, and will continue to do so as long as we have the opportunity!
