Iain's IT Solutions Ltd.

About me

I'm Iain Clark, a freelance software developer based in Royal Greenwich, South East London.

I offer IT services to local businesses.

I build back office and process management systems to help make your business slick and efficient.  That way you can save time and money, improve accuracy and impress your clients.

Back Office Systems

I specialise in developing web and desktop back office systems. I can build from scratch or take over support and development of existing systems. Using the latest technologies, I can integrate new and existing systems to add efficiencies and eliminate multi-entry of data. Programming languages I specialise in include PHP/MySQL, C#/SQL Server, Microsoft Access VBA/SQL.

Content Managed Websites

Websites with my custom CMS are an expanding part of my portfolio. I design and build the site and give you a login to update parts of the site content yourself.

The CMS screens are clean and simple. I tailor the system around your website, so you only see the menu items relevant to you.

Databases

I design and build web and desktop database applications for companies of all sizes.  Database technologies I work with include MySQL, SQL Server, SQLite & Access SQL.

Subscription services

I currently offer two subscription based web applications.  An online invoicing system for small businesses and a availability calendar plugin for guest houses and B&Bs.  See "Web Apps" in the menu above for more details.

Microsoft Office

I have a lot of experience in customising MS Office applications.  I do a of lot Excel, Access & Word VBA work - expanding the functionality of spreadsheets and documents.

Something which can add a lot of efficiency to a process is connecting MS Office applications together - pulling email text into a spreadsheet or exporting MS Access data into Word docs for example.
