About SiDeWays Enterprises
We want to help you with all your website design, development, hosting and
search engine optimisation (SEO) needs.
We are particularly keen to work with small companies and individuals, especially
where it allows us to help them to live their dreams. We are more than happy to
consider a trade of services, as we did with a local piano tuner, he did not have a
website and Heidi had recently been gifted a piano which was in need of tuning.
We are keen supporters of local animal rescue, we provided the design and
development of the Cat Rescue Network
site, and continue to support them by covering the ongoing hosting costs.
About Heidi
I have been designing, developing and maintaining websites for over 10 years. In
my career I have worked as part of large development teams, as a consultant and been
the sole developer for a start-up company that provided DVD’s through the mail.
Through the Open University I completed an undergraduate Certificate in Web
Applications Development, and a Vandalism in Cyberspace course; additionally I
passed six postgraduate courses - Software Engineering; Relational Database Systems;
Advanced Database Technology; Distributed Applications and E-Commerce; User Interface
Design and Development & Software Developments for Networked Apps.
As a member of the International Webmasters Guild I completed a number of courses
including - Web Content Writing and Editing; Search Engine Marketing; Design Concepts
& Introduction to Designing Accessible Websites.
I believe in hand-coding in a manner that provides for the customers desires while
meeting accessibility and W3C standards, and resulting in a site that is optimised for
search engines. I am experienced with ASP.NET using VB.NET, ASP, HTML, CSS, VBScript,
JavaScript, TSQL, XML, Java, Visual Basic, ColdFusion, PHP, MySQL and MS SQL.
When I am not in front of a computer I love spending time outdoors, walking or
cycling in the countryside. You wont often find me without my camera, and I take
pride in being able to provide all my own pictures for my personal websites. I love
reading, music and having a chance to express my creativity, most recently I learnt
to spin and weave.
