Sarah Cole Web Designer and Developer.

Hello...

I am a front end web developer specializing n (X)html, CSS and JavaScript. I have an arsenal of resources that I like to call upon such as SifR flash replacement technique, cross browser PNG support and Ajax and JavaScript libraries for accessible web animation. I am always on the look-out for new tricks to make my life more stylin'. I am also developing a keen interest in on-line marketing tools like key-word and link building, online advertising campaigns and all things SEO.


I love opensource it makes me believe in humanity as a collective resource of intelligence. Some of my absoloute favourite treasures of happiness are Wordpress...amazing love it, the level of customization never ceases to amaze me.
PHPBB Forums...A bit more work to make look less generic but fantastic functionality nevertheless
Chatroll...Implement a chat functionality into your site, handy
JQuery...hot

Strangely thats all I can think of now although I'm sure I have 20 more.

Skill Set

  • Strict (X)html
  • CSS
  • Javascript - I play with prototype, scriptaculous mainly, I don't write it but I manipuate it with the best of them
  • Wordpress
  • Adobe Creative Suite 4 (The usual Suspects)
  • Knowledge of setting up hosting, domain names and Email Accounts, Use and optimisaton of virtual servers
  • Email Marketing
  • Cross browser compatability tricks - getting IE6 to look as good as the rest
  • Analytics (urchin scripts)
  • SEO, keyword analysis, link building, best development practices
  • * Please note: I don't do flash...I'd rather leave it to the guys who have devoted themselves to that medium. I can do all the basics, but don't make me, it makes me angry...I believe in using the powers of flash for good and not evil, and only the best know how to do that.

Education

BA South East Asian Politics and Applied Economics, Griffith University Brisbane Australia
