Nick Day / Freelance web designer & developer based in Manchester specialising in Django
I'm an award-winning freelance web designer and developer based in Manchester. I design and develop simple, user-friendly and effective websites for small and medium sized businesses, offering a complete service from initial planning and research through to hosting and maintenance. I am also available for work at digital agencies throughout the North West.
"It would not be an understatement to say that Nick
is one of the most talented front-end developers
that I've ever had the pleasure to work with."
"I would recommend Nick to anyone who
needs a high-quality publication or website. He is
both very professional and highly personable."
"A diligent, committed and - most
importantly - highly talented developer...
I would recommend him without question."
"Nick was a great colleague to work with. He is
fast, accurate, innovative and solution-driven
and an all-round great developer."
I have over five years of professional experience and have worked for leading digital agencies, specialising in accessible front-end development and developing with the Django framework. I also design for print and interactive projects and have considerable experience in the EFL (English as a Foreign Language) sector.
Passionate about the work I deliver, I am highly recommended by my clients and colleagues. Please explore a selection of my work below and feel free to contact me for an informal no-jargon chat about your project requirements.
UniVote / Interactive
UniVote is a interactive public voting system that I developed in the final year of my BSc Computer Science degree at Lancaster University. The system is designed to be used within universities to elicit student opinions on a wide variety of subjects, as well as keeping students informed of events happening throughout the campus. I presented this work at the British Human-Computer Interaction Conference in 2007 in my paper Breaking the Campus Bubble.
The system uses Java and Bluetooth to communicate between mobile phones and screens, with Director providing the front-end interface and a PHP web service connecting the different components together.
