The Great and Bountyful SpaceCookies Empire

Welcome to SpaceCookies - Stephen "Ven" Large online.

SpaceCookies is the first of the four current 'Cookies websites. TerraCookies, which showcases my photography, iCookies, a video games review website in the works and ChatterCookies, an outline for a webcomic.

My key skills within web development are:

PHP
MySQL
CSS
HTML
Javascript
Adobe Photoshop

I ensure all work displays and functions as correctly as possible in the main four web browsers - Firefox, Internet Explorer 6 & 7, Opera and Safari.

Spacecookies is in process of being re-coded and re-jigged at the moment but the most important information's here :)

I can be contacted in the following ways:

	Real Oak Floors http://realoakfloors.co.uk/ Working within the web team to maintain the online shop website including search engine optimisation, photography of new stock and dealing with an additional eBay store. Also development of a PHP / MySQL based sales order processing system designed allow for re-selling, re-branding of the software with minimal work based on a layout template system.
	Fast Track Plumber Training http://fasttrackplumbertraining.co.uk/ Complete re-code based on an existing design of a site used to promote and sell Plumbing training courses. Particular attention was paid to the design rendering accurately in a range of browsers and to search engine optimisation.
	Fast Track Fire Sides http://fasttrackfiresides.co.uk/ Site designed to display Fire places and surrounds for sale. Facilities for online ordering were built into the system but not implimented initially. Design based on company branding but created from scratch.
	JiB Productions http://jibproductions.co.uk/ A growing film production company that required a stylish, modern, and easily updateable website. Working with LUMUS a site was developed including integrated video streaming & download, news, production diaries and portfolios all of which were updateable via an easy to use customised back-end.
	TerraCookies http://terracookies.co.uk/ Utilising open source software, Wordpress and Gallery2, with some customising of the front end this site is a show case for my photography. Front page featured updates highlight new pieces while full galleries are available for browsing.
	iCookies http://icookies.co.uk/ Project based on the open source Wordpress blogging software. Using a customised theme the site is planned to be a video games, manga and technology review and commentary site with input from a small team of writers.
	ChatterCookies http://chattercookies.co.uk/ A initial outline of a web comic written and produced myself. The site's theme was highly customised also.
Past projects involved with that have since been re-developed
	Franz Ferdinand Official Website Site to promote band Franz Ferdinand, launched to coincide with single and album release. A content heavy site it features Gigs / Tour information, Blogs, Discography, Audio / Video clips, gallery and links. All the content on the site is maintained via a login-protected back-end CMS.
	Sweetpepper Boutique Handbag / Accessories online shop. Updating their web presence to include an e-commerce solution a back-end was created to allow easy maintaining of the catalogue, including images and price, which was integrated into the front end to allow orders to be taken and payments made online. News updates and details such as dates that SweetPepper would make appearances at craft events were also controlled via the same system.
	Kaiser Chiefs - Tour As a supplement to the main Kaiser Chiefs website this image gallery is in place to showcase images from their tour. The existing back-end CMS was amended to allow this additional feature to be managed and maintained.
