Oliver devised a creative and original approach to Drupal theme switching based on Tailwind and provided us with the building blocks and basic theming.
He gave several helpful mentoring sessions with our front end developer to support us to build this approach into our site.
I've worked with Oliver for a number of years on B2C and B2B web projects and he has always demonstrated himself to be an expert in his field.
As an insurance provider, some of our products and services don't naturally fit within a traditional eCommerce journey - but Oliver has always been able to come up with innovative ways to leverage core Drupal functionality and develop custom modules to meet our needs.
Friendly, flexible and diligent - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Oliver to anyone looking for a Drupal Developer to progress their next project.
Working with Oliver on the Seren website has been easy and beneficial.
As well as providing general maintenance support, he built a new Drupal module which integrated with our partners Glassboxx so that we could sell ebooks directly from our website.
Oliver worked closely with the team at Glassboxx to create the integration which needed to communicate with the Glassboxx app so that users could download their purchases. He was able to resolve issues which came up along the way in order to create a functioning module which we now use on our site.
Oliver has extensive knowledge of Drupal and his familiarity with the Seren site meant he was able to fix problems quickly and efficiently as they arose.
He is reliable and has always been willing to discuss new ideas for how the site could function.
We would recommend working with him for his invaluable knowledge and ability to find solutions to problems at short notice. It has been a pleasure to work with him over the years.
For over a decade we have worked with Oliver on a number of different projects.
Initially our collaboration consisted of web maintenance and troubleshooting but we soon tapped Oliver to design, build and maintain a custom awards site which includes both submission and judging functionality.
Oliver has deep and wide-ranging skills and I would certainly recommend his services!
We use Oliver for maintaining a couple of Drupal sites for which we no longer have the skills ourselves.
We became aware of Oliver through his work in the Drupal community, and about a year ago we approached him to help us with the deep dive aspects of maintaining and developing Drupal sites.
He's been really helpful and very responsive.
Much appreciated!
