Profile
I am a twenty five year old male from the South coast of England and I pride myself in my work as a Website Designer. I have been a part of the website design industry since 2003 and whether it has been on a professional or personal level I am always one-hundred-percent committed.
HTML is my second language and building websites that mirror image a clients design or specification is my forte. While I work predominately in XHTML and CSS I have skills in PHP, JavaScript, MySQL, CMS and Flash animation. The websites I have built range from simple one page information sites to 100+ pages with shopping carts, booking systems and countless bespoke operations. I am a firm believer in ‘anything is possible’ when it comes to the web.
I am also educated in SEO. Submitting every site to major search engines and making sure each and every page is readable for spiders, and making pages W3C compliant.
My main skills include but are not completely bound to:
- XHTML coding
- CSS styling and building
- PHP Content Managed Systems
- MySQL Management
- E-Commerce Integration and Building
- JavaScript Functionality
- Photoshop Design Skills
- Flash Animation
- Domain (DNS, Hosting and Transfer) Management
- Search Engine Optimisation and Marketing

Hobbies & Interests - hover underlined words for more...
Since 2000 I have been a keen mountain biker, specialising in the sport of Trials. Although this is now only a hobby, at my best I was competing at an Intermediate-to-Expert level on the Hampshire BikeTrial circuit.
I have always had a passion for photography and now use my photography skills in a hobby called Urban Exploring or Urbex. Urbex is the discovery, exploration and documentation of abandoned buildings, bunkers and generally vacant places.
I own a 1987 Golf GTI 16v and have a passion for the classic VW scene. I try and attend plenty of VW festivals throughout the year and aspire to the day I can enter my car into the show and shine competitions.
