Hello there, welcome to the website. My name's Robbie Donaldson. I am a Shopify, WordPress, and Astro developer based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, sitting in Harrogate at the moment in my office, and I thought I'd do a quick video to introduce the website so that I can just very briefly explain the work examples I have put on the website.

I've been a developer for a long time, 22 years, which is an age in tech, and there's been a lot of projects, so the ones that are in the website now are recent work in the last few years. One thing I should point out that, certainly in the last few years, probably in the last 10 years, I've had a small number of clients that I've worked with for a long time, so I think that tells a story itself to be honest with you, but that's also what I'm looking for.

I don't do a lot of churn, you know, one-time clients and it tends to be a longer-term relationship I have with clients.

The examples in the site are the latest work and there's also some of the back catalogue there that I've included out of, sometimes out of nostalgia, you know, this one very big project, quite ground-breaking at the time, kind of a huge project.

Or e-commerce sites that were enormously successful, or jobs where I learned a lot, or jobs where the website itself's absolutely nothing to write home about at all, but it was part of a much bigger project that I'm proud of, there's other websites in here, and here's one that's still live now, built by me in 2003, still live, exactly the same, so it was great to see that.

And then other jobs where I'm now part of a bigger team and sometimes work a lot more on the back end of Shopify. Obviously, as these sites get really, really big, they need a lot of support for integrations and apps and things like that.

So I will let you peruse the site and if you want to get in touch, please feel free to to get in touch. Thanks!
