Standards-based, accessible web designer with over 10 years experience of web design and writing for the web. I'm passionate about creating accessible websites, and passionate about proving it doesn’t mean compromising on a site’s style and visual impact. I’ve got the technical skill set to build websites (XHMTL, CSS, PHP, MySQL) and the creative skill set to make them stand out from the crowd (creative writing, PhotoShop, Flash). I’m always looking for a new challenge, and if you’ve got one for me you’ll find I’m committed, hard working and full of creative ideas.
XHTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL, PhotoShop, Flash, accessible web design, project management, editing & proofreading, copywriting.
