I have been working with web design and development since 1999! After a long period contracting for digital agencies based in the city, I decided to support projects from within my peer group that better reflect my core values. It's also much nicer to work from home as a part-time freelancer, in a vibrant area with a thriving community, great cafes, and no need to commute! I build responsive websites using handcoded semantic HTML5, Sass / Compass, CSS3 and Wordpress. Most of my work involves creating Wordpress sites for small businesses. I often provide SEO, and branding and social media strategy. I am also a specialist in HTML email campaigns and have lots of experience with maintaining content on various CMS. I have a background in graphic design, and still occasionally work with print. I have a forensic eye for detail, always considering usability and striving to communicate the message through a smooth and transparent experience on all current browsers. I'm comfortable working with PHP, JQuery and Javascript at a basic level, which includes implementing and configuring any plugins needed. I am keen to work with ethical projects that benefit the community, and I'm passionate about Open Source and Wordpress.
