• Server-side programming (PHP5 in my case, object -oriented programming)
• Client-side programming (W3C standards, (X)HTML, CSS, javascript,…)
• HTML integration
• Web design (the building of professional lay-outs, perfectly suiting the client’s needs in terms of communication)
• Sales manager and customer service
• troubleshooting in all these fields

Feel free to comment where relevant.
