about simon
I'm 22 and based in Warwickshire. I've been making websites since the early 2000s, inbetween going to school and university, and the works you see on this page are the edited highlights.

My aim in website design is to produce sites which are clean, tidy and properly coded, and as such I code all my sites by hand to ensure accuracy and accessibility. I'm big on usability and universal access, and I strive to provide a friendly and professional service at fair and sensible prices. I'd love to hear from you - contact details can be found over there on the right hand side of the page.
