Brighton Freelance Flash/Flex Developers
When I started working as a Flash freelancer in Brighton I assumed the whole world and their wife were all out there doing the same thing too. But I have since come to realise that while there are plenty of freelance Flash professionals out there (not so many Flex Developers though), there are only a few whose ActionScript is worth their day rate. Also, the good ones tend to be booked up months ahead, so don’t have any particular need to advertise their talents.
So, for those of you who are looking for an ActionScript freelancer, below is my pick of the best of Brighton.
Naturally I’m putting myself at the top of the list, as I need your work just as much as anyone else. But if you have spoken to me and I am busy, or you owe me money, or you’ve taken offence to my haircut or something, try one of the other guys. My colleague Kris has a longer list here, but these are the people I will personally vouch for.
Matt Pearson (zenbullets)
Neil Manuell (revision)
Matt Sayers (soplausible)
Owen Bennett (steamboy)
Rich Willis (rich text format)
If you contact them do let them know you found them via me. Beer is very expensive in this town.
If it is a Flash Designer you are after, rather than an ActionScripter, they are much easier to come by. Your best bet may be to tap people randomly on the shoulder while wandering around Churchill Square. Roughly one in every five will be a Flash Designer.

Ah – thanks Matt – you’ve made me feel special : ) Although should point out that if people are offended by your haircut then there’s not much hope for any of us on that list…

Oh Matt, that hurts.

I’m moving to Brighton after the New Year (2009) and looking to meet some like-minded computer nerdy types. I’m more a coder than a Flash designer, but would love to team up with people who can actually make clever stuff look good!
