I'm Dean Holden and DaleInternet began it's life in January 2004 when I built my first website for an actor playing the lead role in London's West End. The company name echos from my roots as I grew up in Rochdale, Lancashire and have been supporting The Dale for the past 25 years.

Since then, I've been designing and building websites for various clients across the UK including arts festivals, bed and breakfasts, holiday homes, and charitable organisations to name a few. A selection of these can be found on my portfolio page.

I was also behind the design, build, launch and running of the successful sports TV listings site, www.livesportontv.com until a larger organisation took on the responsibility for it late 2009.

Creating websites that use bespoke content management systems built in PHP & MySQL is my speciality, enabling the owner to update their content whenever they like without needing to contact (or pay) me or a 3rd party. Help and assistance on website queries is always available, but it makes more sense for the client to be able to make their own content changes.

I can provide hosting solutions and purchase domain names on behalf of clients, but if you've already got them in place, I'm happy just to concentrate on building the website.

Drop me an e-mail or contact me via twitter if you have any queries.
