Freelance Webmaster

I work as a freelance webmaster for a number of websites, and I have been the British Guild of Travel Writers' webmaster since 2002.

I am used by companies who have websites, but not the time or understanding to maintain them, to keep them fresh and up to date.

I am not a programmer. I am an editor with technical skills.

Non-computer skills

  • Journalist: Writing articles, copy-writing, recording radio interviews
  • Editor: Commissioning print journalists, writers, photographers, and broadcasters.
  • Editing print copy, photos and video.
  • Digital audio editing (expert)

Computer Skills

  • Fluent in: HTML, XHTML, XML
  • Experienced in: CMS (Joomla!), CSS, RSS, FTP, SMIL, DHTML, SQL, JavaScript, Access, Real & Windows streaming, Photoshop.
  • Understanding of: .ASP, PHP, WAP
  • Experience in: Database management
    Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
    Domain name registration
    Host/ISP management
    Commissioning programmers
    Developing web projects

Or to put it in English..

I can re-organise your pages, add extra ones, change the layout, add data, add pictures, news, lists, etc, as you want it, when you want it. I can make your website attractive to search engines and maximise its profile on the Internet. I can create newsfeeds to bring people to your news items, and blogs (almost the same thing) to give them a behind-the-scenes view of what you are doing. I can create versions of your pages to run on mobile phones or PDAs. And I can record, edit and encode audio for podcasting and streaming.

Social Media

Somebody wiser than me (it may have been Kevin May at Tnooz) said recently "anybody who tells you they are a social media consultant or expert... isn't".

So...

I am not a Social Media Consultant :)

... but I am invited to participate and speak at Social Media events, conferences & forums in the UK and abroad, especially related to the tourism sector.

I am also engaged to train staff & companies on the use of social media and Twitter in particular.
