Hello and welcome to my website, I am Sam Heaton a young and talented award winning web designer based in Skelmersdale. I have been designing and developing websites for more than 4 years commercially and I have been working as a freelance web designer and web developer for more than 2 years.
I have worked with and for many large companies from all different types of industries, I have been privileged to have worked with companies such as Nintendo, Lelli Kelly Kids, Vodafone and Granite Tops UK. I consider myself very creative and working as a freelance web designer I allow myself to spend more time on projects meaning I can provide a more unique and creative website and experience.
I have also worked for companies on an employment basis, I was very fortunate to have been given the chance to work for Vodafone: World of Difference where I was given the opportunity to work for charities and design and develop websites and web applications.
Having studied and worked with graphic design I have built up a large profile of designs for all kinds of industries. I am always improving and can't wait to see what I can do in the future.
My strong skill set includes: Web Design (obviously), SEO (Search Engine Optimisation), Web Development, Mobile Applications, Logo & Graphic Design and UX Design.
Having always worked in an I.T. environment I have gained a large knowledge of the following: HTML, CSS, jQuery, JavaScript, PHP, HTML5, CSS3 and much more.

I work with the client, I make a general bond with the client so that we can work together on their project and make sure that the outcome exceeds their expectations.
