Testimonial

I found working with Ben to be a pleasure from beginning to end. He is extremely professional, well-organised, friendly, and approachable. He does not impose his own ideas but is more than capable of offering them. He is prompt about his work and very skilled in delivering it. He is an excellent listener and a hard worker. He is also very detail-oriented and able to adjust things from the smallest to the largest scale. At my request he has kindly offered to assist me in learning to maintain my own website. The quality of his work speaks for itself. I heartily recommend his services, and would certainly avail myself of them in future.

Catholic Medical Association UK

A website for an association of Catholics in healthcare professions.

The Catholic Medical Association (UK) requested a redesign of their website to present a more modern, professional look-and-feel and a mobile-friendly user-experience, with the ability to collect donations and register interest in events. Notable features: Calendar of Saints in Healthcare, events widgets in the footer of select pages.

Testimonial

I have had nothing but a good experience of working with Benjamin. He took time to understand the aims and mission of the CMA at the beginning of the project, and together we laid out the goals of the website. He had a positive attitude when encountering problems and challenges, and would actively consider and propose possible solutions. Benjamin was able to advise me on what makes an effective, visible and responsive website, and has integrated our new website well with our existing social media platforms, such as Facebook and YouTube.

Benjamin has a professional attitude to his work. This is exemplified by his initial work which was to draw up a scoping document to outline the parameters of the website project, and then by his clear and prompt email correspondence throughout the project, the production of demos to keep me up to date with progress, and the resulting quality of our new website.

Testimonial

I knew exactly what I wanted my lifestyle website to look for, and what I wanted it to achieve. My worry was that between the picture in my mind and the end result, there would be a big gap. But with Benjamin Portelli I didn’t have to worry, thankfully. I explained what I was after and he provided the solutions, walking me through every step in the way to make sure I understood everything. I am very happy I trusted him with my site as I am already seeing the difference in performance and engagement. I’m also satisfied with the after-service, as Benjamin was always extremely helpful and efficient with any questions I had.

Listings2CSV

This quick-and-dirty script uses BeautifulSoup 4 (Python needed) to pull data from a website search and save it to a CSV. It was initially created to save search results from a popular accommodation search service to help with house-hunting (to create a quick way to compare different properties), but with minor changes could be used to save a table from any search results.

Please remove the html boilerplate and convert to a .py file before using.
