Kristian Harmer - Joomla CMS Web Developer

I am a web developer with over ten years' experience in the industry.

My special area of expertise is in Joomla development (starting way back with Mambo), but I can quickly turn my hand to almost any task, client-side or server-side. My experience isn't limited to the Joomla framework;  I also have experience implementing Drupal and WordPress sites as well as completely bespoke frameworks, but my niche area of expertise is definitely Joomla.

Other skills include integration of forum applications such as vBulletin and phpBB with existing sites, custom plugins, SEO enhancements and revenue generation through affiliate links and banner advertising.

My specialities are:

• Clean compliant custom Joomla websites
• Custom built Joomla templates
• Adaptive/responsive templates for display on all devices where required
• Custom VirtueMart websites
• Custom Joomla components, modules and plug-ins
• Bespoke website applications (front-end and administration)
• Adoption of existing third party components, modules and plug-ins
• Joomla performance tweaking
• Professional training and tuition in Joomla administration
• Drupal theming, site configuration and deployment
• vBulletin/phpBB setup, configuration and customisation
• vBulletin integration with existing site (single sign-on and user account sync.)

On top of my skills and experience, I'm a fast learner - in fact, learning new techniques and continuously challenging myself are among the things I love most about working in new media.

I'm more than happy to work by myself and can self-manage my time and work. But I also enjoy collaborating as part of a team, large or small.

Above all, I enjoy building websites and web applications, and bring a passion for the job to anything I do.
