Hi, I’m Tom Freeman and I’m a web developer in Bristol, UK

I work with PHP, MySQL, XHTML, CSS, JavaScript and loads of other great web technologies to makes websites do whatever you want them to.

I’ve got over 8 years experience of creating projects large and small – from company brochure websites, to social networking sites. I’ve worked for Government Departments through to sole traders.

I’m the Technical Director at 18a Productions Ltd, in Bristol, where I do much of the frontend and backend coding on our work, largely building bespoke web applications for web start-ups. My past roles have included being Technical Director of a sector-leading online marketing company, specialising in affiliate marketing, and being a software engineer at a email software company.

I am happy to work directly with clients, but I also often work with advertising, design and new media agencies – so if you need a hand with the technical side of your current creative project, please get in touch.

Please view the portfolio section of this site for some examples of my work, but you can see lots more over at 18a.

Do you want to know me better?

I have a broad range of web development skills, ranging from systems administration to XHTML coding and keen interest in creating highly usable innovative user interfaces. The majority of my technical expertise is focussed around open source development and LAMP technologies. As shown in my experience above I have commercial experience with Object Orientated PHP5, MySQL, JavaScript (jQuery is my library of choice), CSS and XHTML.I also have commercial experience of MVC frameworks such as CodeIgniter and CakePHP.
