Custom Development
Do you have a great idea for the next big web application or service, but need a developer to work with you? Your Hero is here to save the day! In addition to creating off-the-shelf applications, I am available for customization and new projects.
I am always interested in hearing proposals and ideas for new projects. If you are looking for a partner who you can trust and who has your best interests in mind, then look no further then Web Design Hero. When I take on a client, I do not look at it as just a gig, but as a long term mutual partnership where I will be there through all stages of the project to provide updates, changes, and constructive input based on my previous projects and experiences. As your partner, I want to ensure that your idea is fully developed and ready for the prime time. Before taking on any project, I will engage you in a conversation to fully understand all of your application requirements. In addition, I will build a spec and project plan to guide the long term progress of the project. The spec and project plan help to ensure that both you and I are clear on the goals and functionality, reducing possible conflicts as well as the time and costs associated with redoing work that was not clearly specified. My commitment to clear communication and focus on detail is what distinguishes me from other freelancers who promise impossibly low prices and deliver mediocre results.
In a moment, I will share with you my core-competencies and areas of specialization, however, if your project does not fall in line with the descriptions below, please feel free to contact me anyway. I will provide you with honest feedback on your idea and my ability to provide the best service. If I think I am the right developer for your needs, I will do the extra research to ensure I deliver the best results for your application’s needs.
My core competencies
Joomla!: I am an experienced developer on both the Joomla! 1.0 and Joomla! 1.5 platforms. I am familiar with best practices such as using internal Joomla variables and arranging code using the Model-View-Controller (MVC) framework. I have had components listed on the Joomla! extension directory and I provide development tutorials for the community on my websites and support on the developer Joomla! developer forums. I am familiar with the Joomla! API and can leverage the power of the Joomla! platform to build you a best-in-class application. If you would like to see some of my previous Joomla! components, please visit the Web Design Hero Store by clicking here. I am also available to pick up where other developer's have left off.

I can also bring old custom applications up to date. Learn more about Web Design Hero's Joomla Services by clicking here.
Web Service Integration: Does your application need to consume data from web services such as RSS or product feeds? Perhaps you want to parse a third party REST or SOAP service. I have experience coding solutions that require third party access including RSS, geocoding, and integration with big name web services from companies like Google and Yahoo! Please feel free to discuss your web service project with me. I have also developed many applications specifically in the realm of RSS feeds and can help you answer your questions about setting up feeds on your site.
I would also be glad to consider any other project ideas that you may have. I primarily focus on browser-based web application, but I will also consider desktop-based web application such as widgets or cross-platform JAVA applications. I am eager to hear your ideas, so feel free to contact me today!
