Specialities

  • Working with designers who need somebody to take the designer’s html templates and “make it work”.
  • Working with legacy PHP sites that “work fine” but need some updates.
  • Making website administration systems that K.I.S.S (Keep It Simple Stupid)
  • Developing bespoke systems, when you want a web system custom made to fit your need.
  • Taking existing sites and making them fly affordably on Amazon EC2 Server Technology.
  • Integrating New Zealand websites with Trade Me, AfterPay, and other API services
  • Taking legacy PHP 5 websites and economically upgrading them to work with PHP 7

As well as PHP I’m also quite capable in Javascript (especially maintaining legacy Javascript), SQL (MySQL), BASH, and not bad with C either especially for small devices.

I also sell electronic components in New Zealand, using the eCommerce system I developed, I eat my own dog food as the saying goes.

Ready To Roll Systems

Over the last 22 years I have developed a repertoire of backend systems ready to power your website's design.

My easy to use eCommerce systems run many sites such as  petcentral.co.nz , mountedward.com , domainethomsonwines.com and onlinepharmacynz.co.nz

My easy to use CMS systems run sites like, thehillslodge.co.nz, phonograph.org.nz , harraways.co.nz , ldart.co.nz and byata.org.nz

Even major sporting events have used my easily administered news and gallery systems to power their websites, such as nzwomensopen.co.nz  (and in past years the NZ Open, BMW NZ Open, and PGA Championship)

Bespoke Systems

It is important to me that your website meets your needs, often standard generic systems that other developers might want to use do not really make a good fit for your business or clients, you need something a bit more custom. Maybe that is just a little modification here and there, and maybe it is a totally new system from scratch.

I've developed many custom website systems for sites like majordomo.co.nz, investqueenstown.com, snowrental.co.nz, rentals.basenz.com and volunteer.xperts.co.nz to name just a few.

Low Affordable Rates

How much does Custom PHP programming cost? Maybe less than you think!

My rates are very reasonable, and most importantly I know what works and I probably already know what you need.

I keep things simple and don't sell you into crazy things you really don't need.

Simply contact me – james@gogo.co.nz – and I can give you an idea of costs for your project.
