Hallo and welcome to Ring Forth Web Studio. My name is Jim Fitzsimons and I’m a freelance designer and web developer based just outside Dublin, Ireland. I’ve been building web pages almost since there was a web to build them on, creating my first hypertext projects at the University of North London back in 1992/3. Since then I’ve tried to stay as up-to-date as possible while the web changed dramatically.
As HTML evolved to XHTML, JavaScript and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) arrived on the scene and server-side scripting allowed the web to become more dynamic and interactive, I’ve found myself learning each new technology in the hope that it doesn’t become obsolete too quickly (though with HTML 5 on the horizon, that seems like a vain hope indeed… there’s always something new just around the corner).
I’ve recently decided to switch to PHP and to begin using WordPress as my basic development platform (rather than the custom-built ColdFusion system I’d been using for some time). This ultimately allows sites to be developed more quickly, and to an increasingly widely-used standard allowing easy updates and modification when required.
Whether you’re looking for a small brochure site or a larger dynamic application, I offer high quality design and accessible code that meets the most exacting web standards. Plus enough Search Engine Optimisation to ensure the end result gets noticed. All tailored to meet your budget.
