Freelance Front End Developer

Recent projects

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!

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!

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.

Mike Johnson : General Manager (Pricing & Analytics) at Portland Fuel

We have been working with Bob for a number of years, initially looking to re-develop our website. Since then, Bob has been an integral part of all subsequent development, including a complex project setting up a subscription/login based data platform with an integrated e-commerce package.

This project in particular saw a number of significant hurdles overcome as a result of Bob’s thorough research and dedication.

I would recommend Bob very highly; he is responsive, his designs are creative and the quality of work he has produced is always completed to a high standard. Overall, he has been a pleasure to deal with.

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.

Paul Carrington : Hoeft and Wessel UK

Bob has provided marketing support for my company. We sell Mobile Computing Solutions to the Enterprise and Small to Medium Business. We needed support to create an electronic direct mail for distribution to Transportation clients and also improve our on line prescence. Bob was quick to grasp our requirements and communicated well with our team during the campaigns. Bob has delivered for us and we look forward to working with Bob again in the future.

Nick Wright : Studio North

A regular freelancer at Studio North, Bob’s excellent technical ability and broad web development knowledge makes him an extremely valuable extension to our team. A conscientious worker who is able to overcome any technical challenge we put in front of him.

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.

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.

James Spencer : Managing Director at Portland Fuel

Bob has worked with us on numerous key projects and his work is always absolutely top notch. He is professional, creative and a perfectionist (without being a pain!). He is no relation, but he also has a fantastic surname.
