Recent Work Portfolio

British Forces News

One of the most exciting and well known projects was the MEDIA success of the British Forces Broadcasting Services' British Forces News website. Having implemented the design in XHTML and CSS/PHP with ConTemplate , CCK and a multitude of java plugins, the project was taken from IA to implementation, through to production we were able to more than quadruple the number of hits to the site. Working co-optly in a team of just 2 developers inhouse at BFBS Radio, BFBS News, BFBS TV across BFBS Technology & BFBS IT; under the hood of the SSVC Corporation. The size of the company was fairly large which meant we all benefited greatly from the project in experience.

So far BFBS has increased their alexa rank by 6-12 million points.An impressive achievement for a corporation started in the 1960's, which has only recently created a work flow suitable for a mass-market on-line customer-facing services based MEDIA website.

Successfully forming relationships with staff, implementing and liaising with the journalists at British Forces News, as well as providing training , 3rd line support , and providing a point of contact for Personnel.
