Web design and development
'm a website designer and developer with a passion for clean, modern and easy-to-use websites.
I'm very good at writing HTML, CSS & JavaScript (if I do say so myself). I'm also a big jQuery fan. Most of my websites are written atop of the most excellent WordPress which tends to make both my clients & and I very happy. I enjoy also writing code in PHP and I've even developed a couple of plugins for WordPress. My Easy PayPal Custom Fields plugin has been popular with 7000+ downloads to date.
Recently, I've become very interested in 'responsive design', where the layout of a site adapts to the size of screen upon which it's being viewed. It's a really cool technique that makes your site look and work great across all devices, big and small.
If you're interested in commissioning a website, or in having an existing site redesigned please don't hesitate to get in touch. My fees are based on the size of the project, but I won't overcharge and I'm entirely sympathetic in particular to musicians' financial circumstances!
Below you'll find a selection of some recent projects I've enjoyed working on.
