Jack Sowden - Freelance web developer
based in Hull, East Yorkshire.

PHP, jQuery, HTML5, CSS3, API's, working hard!

Hello, I am a freelance front end / back end developer with around 4 years full time industry experience. During this time I have worked full time for a number of Hull based Web Design agencies. I graduated from the Hull School of Art and Design in 2009 with a First Class Honors Degree in Web Design.

I use this simple web page to display my most recent projects and hope to develop it further in the future. Most of my work is done alongside other companys, however I am happy to take projects on or share them with the current companys I work for. If you have a business enquiry please feel free to give me a call (07540 261635) or pop down for a coffee and chat.

Some of my most recent work....

Beverley Ski Tuning

This was only a small job but made a nice change as I got the opportunity to design it and the client was extremely happy with it. The site was at the top of Google within 4 hours of launch for search terms, which the client had requested.

Try Number plate on car

Whilst working for Eye Web Solutions I developed this page where users of the site could upload photos of their car and try different number plates on it. This was pretty challenging and required some rather tricky jQuery, Ajax and PHP image generation.

Eye Web meet the team page

I currently work for Eye Web Solutions where I was given the task of coding their new website. Each page of the site was a challenge with lots of interaction and challenging design elements. The highlight of the site for me was the 'Meet The Team' page. This involved many hours of experimenting with jQuery!
