Experience
Having been involved in the computer business since 1979 I have
experience in many areas so please check whether I can help with
your specific case.
Recent experience includes the creation of web sites including E-Commerce
sites. My company has now produced almost 200 web sites. Most of
these are hosted on our own web server and maintained by us. I am
familiar with meta tags, keywords and the art of search engine optimisation.
I have also been an analyst/programmer since 1979 working mostly
in Mapper and Cool ICE. I have many years experience supplying and
installing hardware and software including networked systems.
Work History
I started Cravenplan
Computers Limited in 1984. Most of our current work relates to the
Internet. We specialise in the creation of bespoke web sites, mainly
for businesses. Many of these sites link to databases and offer
dynamic content dependent on user input. We also specialise in Search
Engine Optimisation - the practise of careful submission to Search
Engines with a view to gaining the best position within the lists
presented to users.
We also continue to sell most computer hardware and software, once
the mainstay of the business. Bespoke programming was the first
area the business was involved in. This also continues to provide
work for us.
Prior to forming Cravenplan I worked for Sperry Univac which later
merged with Burroughs to become Unisys. It was here that I learnt
Mapper, a programmable database language which has been available
for over 30 years. It has been continuously developed by Unisys
and now incorporates a Web front end (Cool ICE) which we use to
provide the database driven web sites we now produce.
In my teens I gained experience running several small businesses
and was involved in the entertainment business (running a small
radio station), hotels, farming and transport. I have over 30 years
experience running my own businesses with all that entails - I
know how you feel.
I am used to evaluating evidence from both points of view and I
can present the facts and my opinions clearly and concisely in written
and verbal reports.
