Alex Folch’s Summary

My background consists mainly of hand coding xHTML / CSS sites under strict accordance with Web Standards for a large number of projects over the past years. By doing so, I have become accustomed and am committed to providing great attention to detail as well as delivering a high standard of web functionality and usability throughout my work.

Most importantly, I have successfully proven that I am capable of working in team environments as well as alone (freelance) as and when necessary.

Certain project requirements have lead me to make use of my initiative and at times acquire experience of implementing various features including PHP, MySQL, CMS implementation and Apache web server customising.

Alex Folch’s Specialties:

xHTML, CSS, usability, WYSIWYG layout tools, several CMS (mysource Matrix, Wordpress), Jquery and Javascript, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Fireworks.
