Rebecca Cox’s Summary
Nine years experience in the web industry in Wellington. I enjoy gathering and documenting user requirements, information architecture, usability, as well as building sites.
Web background in HTML/CSS, accessibility, usability, NZ egovt standards. Highly experienced in integrating front end templates into CMS etc.
Strengths: well organised, and lots of attention to detail. Good at producing documentation quickly for teams to use, and identifying and implementing "quick wins".
I also do a bit of event photography, so if you have a need for a friendly (I only keep the pics that make folks look good) snapper for events then hola :)
My pre-web background is in fine arts (printmaking, sculpture etc), social anthropology, and art history.
