I'm 21 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.

I support MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY, and since April 2005 have donated ten per cent of my website design revenues to Oxfam. I recycle all waste paper, card and plastic (anything with any sensitive or personal information is shredded first), and donate used postage stamps and printer ink cartridges to charity for recycling.
