Hey, welcome to my web design profile, here I shall tell you a little background knowledge about myself.

Profile:

Having spent the past 4 years studying ICT/Computing, I have gained excellent experience of designing and hand coding websites that work well and look good. My interests in computers have been since a young age when my Dad brought home an old computer from school. Ever since that day I have always headed in the direction of computer technology.

I initially started my education in Information Communication Technology at school where we studied a number of different areas for example: Microsoft Access Database, System Networks and Websites. I then took a year out of education after completing my A-Levels leaving with an A* in ICT, during this year I worked full time within HSBC. I completed my first year at University with flying colours, excelling within website design. During the summer after my first year at University myself and a couple of friends travelled round Europe for a full month which was an amazing experience. After returning I built myself a full travel blog which led to me creating my own personal website using a variety of different skills which I taught myself, click here to have a read though the blog.

My Aims:

My aim when designing websites is that they are not only creative aesthetic design, they are browser compatible and simple consistent navigation.

I focus on building functional and practical front ends in pure valid w3c compliant XHTML and CSS, with occasional sprinkles of JavaScript and PHP for good measure. I take care in hand coding my sites to be as lean and pristine as possible so you are left with an elegant structure that is easy to manage and also easy for search engines.

Computer Skills:

  • XHTML – Standards compliant websites
  • CSS – Cascading Style Sheets
  • PHP - Server-side HTML embedded scripting language
  • JavaScript - scripting language used for client-side web development
  • Flash - to create interactions and animations
  • Photoshop, Illustrator, Image Ready, In Design
  • Fireworks, Dreamweaver and equivalent

Education:

  • Degree University (2nd Year) First Year Results = 1st
    Relevant Modules: Internet Systems, Programming, Databases, User Interface Design, System Modeling & OS Networks
  • A-Levels Computing = A*

Experience:

As a new web designer I am keen to extend my skills, however I have already created a number of websites. Please take a look at my Portfolio which is constantly updated as I complete further tasks.
