PHP development portfolio

This work is in arranged in the order of when the project became completed or when I stopped being an employee for the given company and does not contain my full portfolio as most clients do not want their websites shown to be developed from the outside or are not released to the public yet.

My PHP development portfolio is very out of date at the moment but it will be updated alongside a new design launching by August 2009. It is here for reference should people want to hire me directly and want to see what I’ve done in the past. Please contact me directly should you want to talk further about my updated portfolio or CV.

Note: Click an image to go to the original URL of the site, all titles of portfolio entries link to a page of screen shots from the site. Though most of the top text titles still link to their original URL, they will be replaced in due time.
