Hi, my name is Richard Avery and I'm a 31 year old freelance website developer living in the UK. I work 50+ hours a week from home and am available by phone from 11am until 6pm seven days a week. Here are my key qualifications, skills and qualities.
BTEC National Diploma in Art and Design. I have always had an eye for art and design, it is my passion. I am also a self taught modeler which enables me to create highly professional looking renders.
Have been teaching myself IT, HTML, CSS, Flash, CGI techniques, PHP, SQL and Drupal for over 12 years. During this time I have established many sources and contacts.
Expertise in Drupal and Drupal's API; ability to create custom modules and applications.
Extremely helpful, patient and understanding. Many people are easily frustrated by computers, I can help alleviate your frustrations and I offer guidance freely whenever it is needed.
My clients often say "what a pleasure it is working with a freelance developer, so easy to get in touch and get straight to the point". My clients also like having a one on one relationship as do I. Trust is important and what better way to establish trust than to form an actual working relationship. I invest time freely into both the websites I develop and into forming solid relationships with my clients. A website is an extremely important and powerful tool, in fact these days all you need to start a business is a website! My interest is not only in developing your website but in developing your business also.

Hosting
OnlineWD™ does not provide a hosting service however OnlineWD™ is an affiliate for several hosting companies throughout the world, all of which come highly recommended. Drupal CMS sites require very specific server specifications, therefore time must be spent making sure a host is suitable before work begins. I take the hassle out of getting your site online, I do all the leg work and make sure a host is 100% suitable for your website. If you already have a host, I will make all necessary enquiries to ensure that your current host is suitable.
