Contact Details

I am located in Springvale, Victoria, and offer services in:

• Writing
• Website Development
• Training and Tuition

*Please note - I am out of the office quite often, but you can leave a message on my answering machine and I will get back to you as soon as I can. You may also ring my mobile number at any time.

Writing

I can write reports and prepare procedures manuals. I know how to write clearly and concisely.

I can also improve existing documents by making them easier to understand by fixing-up grammar, improving document layout, inserting explanatory text when required, and sorting out any ambiguities.

(If your work needs professional editing, I can put you in contact with professional editors.)

Website Development

I will create a website for you at a very reasonable price! This website will exhibit world's best practice in usability and accessibility. (It will load quickly into any browser ever invented, and people will be able to easily find the information they want.)

I also carry out usability audits of existing websites. (This audit is free for websites under 5 pages - and economically priced for larger sites.) This audit will highlight any problems people may have in using your site, and will offer suggestions on how usability may be improved.

I also update existing websites with new information. No job is too small.

I will also, if requested, provide guidance and training in how to develop and maintain your own site.

(I can also arrange inexpensive website-hosting if required, and can provide guidance on server-side application development.)

I have a Certificate IV in Technology (Computing) and a Certificate in Dynamic Website Design.

In 2008 I completed a Certificate IV in Workplace Training and Assessment.

Portfolio

[ Websites ] [ Webpages ]

1. Websites

From 1998 to 2000 I was responsible for developing and maintaining all the links to Vocational Education resources for the Education Network Australia internet directory.

From 2000 to 2002 I maintained and developed the main pages of flexiblelearning.net.au (a website highlighting online learning initiatives in Vocational Education.)

From July 2002 to January 2005 I assisted with the development of the Flexible Learning Toolboxes website for eWorks. (Toolboxes are special resources developed for delivering Vocational Education course content through the Internet and CD-ROMs.)

The following are websites I have developed independently. (Each website was developed in close consultation with its owner - in order to produce a mutually-pleasing result!):

1.		The Amiga Users Group of Victoria I redesigned this website in May 2002, and have been acting as Webmaster ever since.
2.		The Rotary Club of Sunshine I created this website and have been maintaining it since January 2003.
3.		Australian Writer - Entertainer Michael Jeffery I have updated this site several times since March 2003.
4.		Melbourne Below I developed and maintain the website for the Melbourne Below project. (This is a guide to resources for Melbourne's Subcultures.) It was created late in 2005.
5.		Slogans R Us This website was created in 2008 for a business which creates slogans for people. The site was revamped in 2009. [The site is inactive in 2010, but there is a mockup you can visit.]
6.		Jackson's Engineering A new website (created in 2009) for an automotive engineering company in Dandenong. This site will gradually develop over time.
7.		Lovel Models Australia A website created in 2010 for a new modelling agency. [The site is inactive until 2011, but there is a mockup you can visit.]

2. Webpages

The following are links to webpages I developed for special purposes. I am responsible for the design and for editing the content.

They are intended to show my mastery of a variety of webpage design skills.

1.		Publication Guidelines for Project Managers This is a web adaptation of a printed document.
2.		Toolbox Champions Webpage This page was created as part of the Toolboxes Project.
