Affordable xHTML / CSS / [PSD > XHTML] / PHP / MySQL + MORE [UK BASED]

Hey, my name is Mark and I am a 21 year old programmer and designer from the UK. I am currently looking to do any xHTML/CSS + PHP/MySQL jobs that you need doing. I can also design a lot of things in photoshop such as websites, logos, banners, headers and more.

I offer an affordable yet professional service, with fast turnaround. As i am from the UK, my first (and only) language is English. This not only saves time in consultations, but also saves money hiring different coders trying to find one who understands the job at hand.

One of my main aims when coding for a client is to make sure ALL code is well laid out, easy to read/understand and most of all, COMMENTS! Everyone needs to edit their code at some point in time, but it helps a lot when the programmer leaves little hints to help you on your way. Spend less time learning HTML and more time working on your content!

I work fast and my rates are low. Why are my rates low? I am currently starting up a Ltd company and do not have much of a portfolio, so I am looking to fill it up and show people my true potential.

Even though I am currently just starting out as a Ltd company, I have been providing such services and services related to web development since I was 19.


So please, give me this opportunity to work with you, I am sure I will make you happy. I have had some people come to me once for small work, and keep coming back for more! I must be doing something right

As you can see, my speciality is PSD > XHTML ^_^



One of my valued clients was so happy with the work i had been doing for him, he offered a testimonial for my (WIP) company website. Anybody can fake a testimonial, many do. That is why i ask my clients if they can back theirs up with an email. Have any doubts/questions? Email the provided email and i am sure my clients will be honest with you!

Here is the review by Andre Levi, also, here is another quick review by the same person in a previous thread.

How much would coding this take> http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1458720

Thanks.

 

Hey, that would be $25 for the first page and $10 each page after. I will throw all the extras in free.

$25 + (4 * $10) = $65

Please see my portfolio in my post to see the quality of my coding.

I look forward to working with you

 

Hired Mark , will leave a review after the job is done !

The rates seem to be very good !

 

@3rd rock i got excited when i saw your signature in another thread but... your portfolio site doesnt even validate to transitional standards :S

 

I do not recommend dealing with 3rd Rock Hosting.

He approached me to code a PSD to HTML template for him because he was too busy. The template was coded in less than 24 hours, validated to Transitional and Strict Standards, and used HTML text in 90% of the template to provide maximum searchable content. However when I presented this to him, he claimed the coding was "sub-standard" and then went into a rage claiming "pakis could do a better job than you" and blocked me without paying.

The job was done very quickly and to a very high standard, and I have informed him that if he attempts to use my code without paying, I will send my lawyer after him.

All in all - he was professional to begin with, however I believe that his intention all along was to have me code the PSD and then attempt to steal the code.

 

@ZDN your site also does not validate at all to transitional standards - while your claim seems quite beliavable it is somewhat damaging to your case when your own site is technically poor...

 

Yeah I know Matt - My website is in dire need of a re-design because its over a year old now, I am just so busy I havent gotten around to it yet. Probably next week.

 

3rd Rock Hosting has proceeded to leave me negative I-Trade stating that my code was completely un-usable.

For the sake of keeping my name clear, I am perfectly willing to show ANYONE who asks the code that I provided so that you can see that it is pefectly valid, perfectly laid out and completely USABLE. Thank you.

 

Hi matt, if you are talking about markhenderson.ws, i made that a long time ago, i dont even use it. I am currently working on a new portfolio and business site for a Ltd i am setting up. If you would like to see the progress on that site, simply PM me. I have many examples of my code and am more than happy to provide.

Zach, this is just childish. Yes, i outsourced some work to you, but now i wish i didnt. Yes, everything validated, the code was clean and semantic, text where possible. I was impressed with that, but the state you presented the work in was rediculous, half of the images had been exported in a less than conventional way, none of the content areas stretched to accomodate extra text and any extra text just spilled out everywhere. Hell, i gave you a list of things i wanted doing and you ignored half of them, you didnt even repeat the background.

I did not just leave without paying you, i explained to you that the client i had would not accept such a low standard of work and i would have to code the whole thing again myself. I think you will find that the whole payment on delivery thing does indeed depend on whether your client is happy with the work done and is willing to accept it. I was not happy in the slightest and no ammount of revisions would have fixed that mess.

For anyone curious about this, i do in fact have the files that Zach presented me with and i am more than happy to show them.

Zach, please stop trying to hide your mistakes by calling me out as a scammer, i have a list of 20+ people i have worked with on DP, all of which would be happy to vouch for me.

I think you will find the professional thing to do would be to email me or PM me first rather than try to wreck threads that i have posted. No matter how much you post stuff like this, you will not ruin my name.

One thing, this ZDN Computers of yours, is it a registered business? I sure hope not because the way you are acting calls for a law suit if it carries on.

Just learn from your mistakes and move on. Grow a pair.

 

3rd Rock Hosting has proceeded to leave me negative I-Trade stating that my code was completely un-usable.

For the sake of keeping my name clear, I am perfectly willing to show ANYONE who asks the code that I provided so that you can see that it is pefectly valid, perfectly laid out and completely USABLE. The one or two graphical errors that are in the template were in the PSD as it was presented to me.

I have been working in this industry for over 8 years and have deal with hundreds of clients over the years - In the last three months, I have dealt with over 50 clients, ALL of whom would happily provide positve feedback for my work.

I can honestly say that in this time, I have never ever been treated or talked to in such a poor manner as 3rd Rock Hosting treated me. This is all I have to say on the matter, and I invite everyone considering the use of 3rd Rock Hosting to draw their own conclusions.

 

sounds like you guys have just miscommunicated and it's resulted in a clash of the ego's :-p

 

double post, mistake

 

Just to prove a point.

The original i presented to Zach: http://www.codedpreview.com/folders/a/8b49e085/
Zachs Version: http://envisioncm.co.uk/projects/mybiz/zach/
My Version: http://envisioncm.co.uk/projects/mybiz/

I think that says enough.

 

Yeah, 3rt rock hosting's. That guy sounds like complete jerk
If i hate anything, i hate scammers, especially one trying to prove they are right lolz. Grow up kiddo and stop messing with big boys

 

If you would have bothered to take a look at the post i just made, you would have seen just how right i am.

Funny how your message says what Zachs did before he edited it claiming it to be a 'double post'.

 

Errrr...i just it was duble post, i dont really care.......or you say that i read him mind?

And, you better stop sayin 1sst that you got bad coded files and then in next post you say how they ectually were good, its not very smart and you are just jumping in your mouth with that........ LOL

 

zach's version - no repeated background, cut off on logo, few issues with links. not *quite* the end of the world, much better than 90% of the crap designer/developers out there.

3rd rock version: missing title tag

neither are bad, far bloody from it in fact. both validate, both have free text where possible. i'm not sure what the argument is about. to be perfectly honest i deeply question the business integrity of the pair of you if something so marginal couldn't be sorted out without a public dispute. the provider should have responded had the requests been polite and reasonable - where did it go wrong?

I too am based in Yorkshire (Leeds central) and run www.northernweb.co.uk as a sole trader. Just wanted to give myself a bit of identity.

 

Yes matt, but if you had both our versions on your computer you would notice that if you place anything other than the default text in zachs, nothing changes. The text spills out of the boxes and the template does not accomodate the extra text.

Mine however can hadle anything you throw at it, hell, you could write a book in that thing and everything would stretch with the content. THAT is why his work was sub standard, any programmer knows that the client will always have more than a few lines of lorem ipsum.

If the mistakes were as simple as you pointed out, i would have paid him and spent 10 minutes fixing them, but the images were exported in such a way that the background could not be repeated because itcontained more than just the background, half of the images were exported in a strange fashion and because of the way he handled the content i would have had to rewrite 70% of the code.

Also, you might want to revalidate zachs code, it has had errors from the beginning http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=h...(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&group=0

However, i thank you for been the nuetral party in this childish act. Had zach contacted me via email or pm before posting here, we may have reached a conclusion, but unfortunately it ended up like this.

My appologies that you had to become involved.

 

hmm, i see. i just firebugged it and the design indeed does not expand to fit the content - this is a major design problem. things should *generally* be built scaleable, especially if it's for a third party.

also i ran the validation from my google toolbar and it still returns valid :S
