I hold commercial awareness of Cactushop - a 100% script-based ASP shopping cart package with a MS Access, MS SQL or MySQL (Windows) back end database, which enables me to successfully design and build ecommerce websites that allows clients the ability to update their online store with new products.

I am an enthusiastic web designer who is highly motivated and has the hunger and passion to become a successful designer. I enjoy working with the latest design software packages and I strive to learn new skills while always looking to improve my all round performance.

October 2006 - June 2007

Lativio is a global market leader in e-commerce for both electronic and tangible goods. My responsibilities as a website designer at Lativio was to create high quality websites that are advertising material for over 50,000 affiliates of the Moreniche affiliate program. I also created “content driven” websites that were used to drive hits to the main product websites.

I also produced and maintained Lativio’s current product websites and was responsible for all image, HTML, JavaScript and CSS site optimization. A major factor for me was to manage, create and over-see the design of the new SizeGenetics website. This site is currently Lativio’s most successful product site and it was a huge pleasure to be given the task of designing the web site.

I often produced web banners and advertising material that is used in promotional media to advertise Lativio’s current product range.
