You will have worked in a team environment working on web building projects alongside designers using Adobe Photoshop / CSS. Pay starts from £10-£15 per hour if you only have "Front End' development skills.  However if you have basic design skills plus front end development skills (i.e. are able to integrate P.S.D.'s into CSS / HTML) as well as back end development and good strong server side experience / skills pay rate can rise to £40.00 per hour for the right candidate.

This is a unique opportunity to join a dynamic, multi-disciplined company. For the right person, this position offers good scope for career development, as well as the chance to work on an exciting range of projects.

As a minimum requirement you will need one years commercial experience or a recognised qualification in this field. Essential that you have at least 2 years PHP coding with MySQL.
