Hardbyte - creative design & development

About Me

Hi, I'm Craig and I have a passion for design & web development.

My technical expertise grew from a four year Advanced HND course studying Software Engineering at Dudley College of Technology and Wolverhampton University.

My first job role was a Technical Support Advisor at SupaNames, one of the UK's largest hosting company's in 2004. Working in a team, we answered technical and sales questions via email to thousands of customers per day. As night-shifts were quiet, I helped with customers scripting and web development issues.

I then progressed my career as a Web Developer at IE Design Consultancy, an award winning design agency in Birmingham. Working in a team of designers and developers, we produced outstanding design and web development work across the Midlands.

From IE Design, I then became Systems & Web Developer Manager at Vax Ltd, the UK's largest floor care manufacturers based in Worcester. Vax's main floor care website is a very busy and successful e-commerce website which integrates with internal warehouse systems. Other managed websites of Vax are Vax Commercial, Vax Power Tools and several International Microsites and Blogs.

I'm currently a Web Developer at Rees Bradley Hepburn, an award winning Advertising, Media, Marketing & PR agency in Meriden, Birmingham. Still early days of planting my feet in the company, I've been working on a range of brands for clients such as Land Rover, Highcross Leicester, Arqiva, Staffordshire University and Katie Price Equestrian.

Having a background in both design and development, this allows me to work along side experienced designers and developers as part of a team or individually taking design, development and SEO to the next level. I enjoy a challenge, so let it range from re-brand, re-design or re-development right down to those long-winded manual tasks which the power of technology should be doing for you!
