My name is Claire Smith, a freelance web designer based in Maidstone in Kent.
I work as a web/graphic designer, I have designed over 1000 websites since I started designing five and half year ago. I specialise in eCommerce design and development, I also have a keen interest in photography.

Welcome to my online portfolio, my name is Claire Smith, a twenty something web designer from Maidstone, Kent UK, I have
BSc (Hons) for Multimedia Technology & Design from the University of Kent.
I've been working as a web designer for over 5 years, and gained quite an experience in that time, in the last year I have
been specialising in eCommerce for small/medium size companies. During my many years as a web designer, I've
become well skilled in many different areas such as Photoshop, Flash, XHTML, CSS, PHP, ZenCart, JavaScript, etc.
I have also done a far bit of Graphic Design, which generally intertwines with the web design I do, from designing
Logos, Stationary, Characters to Flyers. Also have a keen interest in Photography, as a web designer I have
developed a keen eye for a great photo, hence now trying to produce my own great piece of artwork.
I create high quality websites that are easy to navigate, well designed, XHTML & CSS valid, and are fully functional for the clients requirements.
I am in the process of expanding my knowledge of PHP to enable me to create additional functionality to eCommerce sites. I also have been learning jQuery so I can implement galleries and customise them to the clients needs, and also to add functionality to a website.

I design business cards, letterheads, logos, and cover letters for your business, I am expanding my skills to include brochures & leaflets in the future so I can fully cater for a clients corporate identity.
I have also been created character illustrations for my own interest, see my portfolio for examples of these.
View my portfolio below for a sample of the work I have completed.
I love good photos, which is obvious why I have developed an interest in what makes a great photo. As an amateur photographer, I have taken pictures in various locations around the world, from cityscapes, to nature, to architecture.
