My Portfolio
Here is a selection of some the websites I've built in the past. My work on web applications is harder to demonstrate, however if you are interested in seeing some of my code do please get in touch. I've published some honestly genuine testimonials at the bottom of this page.

Chapters PeopleChapters is an agency for freelance TV production crew. The dynamic website I've built allows them to easily update CVs for their clients via an online control panel, and add new clients to their database.

Your CottageI completely re-coded this holiday home advertising website to iron out the previous developer's bugs - plus add in new functionality, increase reliability, introduce search engine optimisation and improve usability. It's B&B sister site looks different, but efficiently runs off the same code & database. |

The key features are a database of the scripts available (which can be searched in various ways), and a custom shopping cart system to select the scripts wanted. |

People regularly visit the nursery saying that they found out about it via the web. The site includes a search engine optimised plant catalogue. |

Quotes From My Clients...
|
Mark has built a website which projects exactly the right image for our business. Rob Giorgi, The Palm Trees |
I'm absolutely delighted with the website that Mark has provided for us and the response from users has been universally positive. Mark has done everything we asked for and more, his advice has been spot-on. I couldn't be happier. Philip Ower, PerioCourses |
Mark has been able to answer every single dumb question I have thrown at him, and always within 24 hours at the most. Philip Bird, Actor |
|
We conducted an extensive search to find the right person to code our web system - Mark was the only person to listen to what we wanted and did not try to sell us un-needed extras. He was very helpful and charming. Nothing was too much trouble, and his after-sales service was brilliant. The Production Switchboard |
Working with Mark has been a pleasure. He was very accommodating, taking what were initially our draft requirements to produce an inspiring site. His approach was very inclusive and involving and he has been flexible with his time to enable us to converse within our own working commitments. Alton Infant School |
Mark Boosey was responsible for the design of the ARC website and has been managing it for over five years. At all times he has shown what one really wants from a website designer: someone who continuously thinks about how he can add value to a clients website and does so! ARC Airports |
