About Me
My name is Robert Locklan, and I am the man behind Roblo Design. I design and develop websites from first concepts right through to finished sites.

I enjoy web design and development because it requires both logical and creative thinking, and is constantly evolving. My aim is to understand you, my clients, and to create fantastic websites which help you to achieve your goals.

My current skill set includes the following:


Front End Web Design: HTML, CSS, javascript, and jQuery.
Graphic Design and Photography: Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, digital photography.
Back End Web Development: LAMP stack (Linux Apache MySQL PHP), server config, and a little Python and C++ programming.
E-Commerce: Shopping cart websites using Opencart, ZenCart.
Blogging: Wordpress and Google Blogger
Social Media: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and more. Set up and management of profiles using social media management tools including Hootsuite, Buffer, and Twitterfeed.
SEO and Data Analytics: Code optimisation, copywriting, XML sitemaps, Robots.txt files, and more. Analytics using Google Analytics, Google Trends, and other tools. Statistical modelling in R.

In addition to this, I have worked in online retail in various forms for over 10 years, so I can offer a keen knowledge and awareness of wider issues which affect website owners. Examples include issues as diverse as payment systems, eCommerce platforms, postal regulations, legal obligations and requirements, and the ever-evolving issue of cookies and privacy.
