This job was very specific compared with previous roles and helped me to develop my XHTML and CSS coding. The brands owned by Arcadia Group all use the same XHTML templates with the designs differentiated solely by the CSS in the same way as CSS Zen Garden. I single handedly built the CSS for Evans when they moved in-house worked on daily updates and rich media emails for all the brands.
