Composure Design is the work of Craig Trott and has come about as 'part hobby',
'part necessity'.
I have been interested in website design for some years and in an attempt to keep
the 'old grey matter' active I set myself the task of writing my own website. This
then extended to creating websites for Jenny and a number of other companies.
Initially I learnt the basics of HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) which is the
basic language that your Web Browser understands. I then moved onto PHP (Hypertext
Preprocessor), which enables the creation of 'Dynamic Websites'. PHP applications
are normally found on Linux servers, and as most of my prior programming experience
is with Visual Basic I quickly migrated to ASP (Microsoft Active Server Page), which
essentially achieves the same as PHP by creating dynamic & interactive websites,
but is hosted on Microsoft Windows servers.
My websites are created with ASP.Net 2.0, which allows a high level of 'behind the
scenes' programmability resulting in a secure, powerful, stable and interactive
website. ASP.Net allows advanced configuration in areas such as password access,
switchable themes and easy site maintainability. Most of the features available
are facilitated by the use of an underlying database (MSSQL 2005).
I manage a number of websites for family and friends and examples of these can be
found by following the "My Portfolio" link above.
