Online Portfolio for Gavin Taylor

As a PHP developer, I deal with a lot of different aspects of website design not just the writing of PHP scripts and classes. A lot of time is spent building the front end websites to interface with the code behind it. Here are a few portfolio examples of the freelance projects I have been involved in both front and back end.

Website Design

I am a firm believer in semantic and standards complient code, and so all my websites are designed with the latest W3C standards in mind but more inline with the folk over at the WHATWG to ensure the greatest level of accessibility and cross-brwoser compatibility with my work.

Projects

I've been involved in a lot of projects over the years, some as a freelance developer, some as an employee. My employers work belongs to them, so I will focus on the freelance projects I have been involved in.
gamaCMS
Custom built content management system, designed and built from the ground up to provide the features Gavin believes are needed from a website cms without all the added bloat that comes with a generic content manager.

Experiments

I used to list some snippets of sample code for people to view on this page, but without context or full pieces of code they werent very useful, so instead I thought I would start uploading some of the demo's I have made when testing new technology. These will most likely be written using HTML5 and its related technologies as thats what we, as developers, should be working towards and where most of the new tech is based.

You can find these experiments over in a new section to the site Im calling my Lab.
