Most of my work is subcontracted via web designers or agencies - I build the site or application that someone else has designed. Most of the sites included here are written on the MODx or Silverstripe content management systems.
Other packages that I have experience of include Simple Machines Forum as seen on the Mountain Rescue site and Wordpress as featured on the recent rebuild of Samantha Peare's site. Both of these are, like MODx, examples of established open source software.
Where appropriate I use the jQuery library within any Javascript code. If your site requires media embedding I can do this using Flowplayer or JWplayer. Sites can be designed to degrade gracefully in the absence of the user's browser having the ability to play Flash content.
