When I was a freelance web designer, I had to take work as it came in, which often meant converting PSDs into CSS & XHTML. I have always found it frustrating to code up a design that has obviously been done by a print or graphic designer, and by that I mean anyone who calls themself a web designer and doesn’t know how to code CSS and XHTML (Dreamweaver design view and Frontpage don’t count). I don’t mean to discredit their talents or creativity, but there are certain web design rules that these designers don’t seem to ‘get’. Read the rest of this entry »

Welcome to my new blog.
Posted on 28 March 2008 in Personal | View Comments
I have started a new chapter in my life and I’m debuting a spankin new blog to celebrate! First and foremost I should explain where the heck I’ve been.
My brother Nick, php geek and budding musical genius that he is, agreed to create a simple CMS to go along with my “new” portfolio design, circa December 2007. It has been months since with no sign of my CMS / Christmas present and I have long since tired of that design! I figured hey, I’m not stupid. I can figure this out on my own! In the end, I’ve implemented a pimped out WordPress and a grunge design to go with.
This site will now focus on the blog aspect rather than my work, since the new chapter that I mentioned happens to be a new job and relocation to Bath, UK! That’s right, I’m no longer freelance. It was fun while it lasted, but I can learn so much more when I’m surrounded by a team of people who know oodles more than I. Plus, I’m nearer to Chris…
