Job Vacancies: System Administrator and Developer

As part of our continued growth we have two new opportunities to join the team at Front. We’re looking for people who are passionate about the web, can help us deliver exceptional web applications and are able to hit the ground running.

Our projects tend to be based on open source technologies.  As a result, we’re looking for depth of experience with LAMP (linux / apache / MySQL / PHP or Perl) for both the system administrator and developer roles.

These jobs are based in our Belfast studio, though travel to client sites can be necessary at times. To apply, please email us quoting the job title in the subject line of your mail.

You should attach a cover letter and your CV/Résumé. Please include links to/samples of your work. We’ll be in touch to confirm we’ve received your application and will let you know if you’ve been shortlisted for interview.

Event Summary: Refresh Belfast, May 2009

What could be better: web design and free beer! We’d like to thank everyone attended Refresh Belfast on Monday; it was great to get a chance to meet old friends as well as to new people, and talk about what we do. Belfast is home to so many people who care about creating a better web - so it was nice to be a part of that growing community.

Special thanks to Andy McMillan for all his organisational efforts (and to everyone on the Front team who helped too).

We’ve published some images on Flickr and there’s a highlights video and slides from each talk too.  Feel free to share your own images or your own thoughts in the comments below - feedback is particularly welcome, and you can rate / comment on our talks via SpeakerRate.

There’s some good buzz about Refresh on Twitter and you can follow @refreshbelfast to keep up to date with future happenings.

Win a £100 Amazon Voucher

Sharing our expertise helps us all deliver better work, and the enthusiasm from everyone who came was heartening.  We want the idea of Refresh to spread, so to encourage people to blog about it and build interest in future events we’re running a draw for a £100 Amazon voucher.

All you need to do is blog about the event, include a link back to this summary and add a comment below to let us know.  We’ll put all the names into a hat and one lucky soul will be getting their Amazon voucher next week.  We’re nice like that, see.

FRONT Goes to FOWD 2009

I am excited to be going to the Future of Web Design conference in sunny London, England along with Gareth Dickey to absorb all the information my sponge-like brain can manage, then rinse out my knowledge upon the team when we return.

What is FOWD?

The Future of Web Design (FOWD) is an event for people involved with web design and development looking to learn from their peers. It attracts hundreds of enthusiasts from far and wide (have a look on Dopplr and see for yourself) who are interested in the talks and workshops on offer.

Paul May - Winning Bigger Web Projects - Barcamp Belfast

Thanks to everybody who came to listen and support myself and Paul McKeever today at Barcamp Belfast.

Barcamp was a really successful day; well organised, well attended - we got to meet up with some old and new friends. Barcamp is becoming a really important date on the calendar here in Belfast, and you can feel the industry moving forward as a result. The slides and video from my talk are now available online, and are also embedded below.

Videos online from Conversations, London

How is social media changing the way companies interact with their customers, and what does this mean for marketing?  Its not a question that’s easily answered in a single evening, but we had a pretty good stab at it with some engaging speakers and equally interesting audience.

Thanks to everyone who attended last month’s Conversations event in London.  A special thank you also to all of our speakers (you can see their videos below) and to Jeffrey Peel for helping to organise the event.

We had a great evening, with plenty of thought-provoking ideas and some great discussion between the talks.  We’re hoping to build on this positive start by holding the next event in June (provisionally the 25th).  We’ll be confirming the next batch of speakers over the next few weeks and you can register online (but spaces are limited).
