Meet Jack Franklin

Web Designer, Developer, Mac Lover, Geek, Nerd & lots more

I'm a 17 year old student living in Cornwall, England with a passion for web design & development. I've been designing and developing sites for the past 4 years and regularly keep up to date with the ever changing standards to make sure the techniques I use meet the standard expected. I work with HTML, CSS, PHP and Javascript to build websites that not only look good, but are efficient, reliable and easily maintained.

To the TopSkillset

HTML & CSS

With 4 years experience in HTML & CSS I code fully semantic & valid code to make sure your website's underlying structure is as it should be, which helps your site appear higher in search engines such as google.

PHP & MySQL

Using PHP & MySQL allows me to create a website that you yourself can update. By integrating bespoke systems tailored to your needs we can work together to ensure you are fully comfortable with the application.

Javascript

If you want any form of animation on your website, I can do it for you. Applications such as image galleries can be enhanced using Javascript to create a nicer experience for the end user.

Writing

I love to write and record tutorials on a whole variety of subjects so I can pass on my knowledge to others. You can see examples of my writing below in the portfolio section.
