Overview
Abeon Hosting was a fairly small website hosting and development business, set up because of demand and a gap in the market. It was cheaper, and technically easier, to create a small hosting site from which to run my freelancing.
My knowledge of web languages developed as the internet grew in popularity. I started off with small HTML and CSS designs but quickly moved on to PHP, JavaScript and other languages as browsers became more powerful. I've always been a big supporter of cross-browser support and graceful degradation, simply because of the wide reach of the internet and its original intent of universal support and access.
Development
Running a hosting business takes a certain amount of technical knowledge, as daily support requests include email, DNS, security and much more. Learning how servers work was essential to providing hosting services and helped me expand my skill set in general.
Design
I took on many website design projects during my time as a freelance programmer, many of which were arcade websites — from small edits to complete custom themes.
Marketing
I worked on a few small marketing and SEO campaigns, mostly based around arcade websites and forums. I also made SEO tweaks to most of the main forum-focused CMSs, including phpBB, IPB, vBulletin, PHP-Fusion and more.
