About Me

I am a Musician and Freelance Web Designer, working in web design and coding since 1998. Being freelance means I am lucky enough to be able to share my working time between my two favourite passions — music and web design.

My web skills include Design, HTML and CSS coding to XHTML Strict Standards Compliancy, simple AJAX, JavaScript and PHP coding including MySQL database interaction. I also have considerable experience using the Smarty Templating System.

I have an awareness of Usability Issues and an understanding of Cross Browser and Platform Compatibility, both for Web sites and HTML Emails.

My current work is done using a Mac running OS X although I am also familiar with using Windows based systems. Below is a list of the software I use in case anyone finds this useful. You never know, there might be something there you've never tried before which could change your life forever :)

• TextMate
• Transmit
• CSS Edit
• Growl
• Quicksilver
• SeeSS
• ColorSchemer Galleria
• colourmod
