My goal is to create stylish, functional websites that stick to the W3C standards for web publishing. I design with XHTML and CSS , which means you get a fast loading, modern site that is widely supported in different browsers.

Although I specialize in design tied to fully hand coded XHTML/CSS, Javascript and PHP, along with any needed graphics and am available for freelance work. I'm also comfortable coding in a range of other languages -- let me know what you'd like and I'll do it for you.

Websites that use XHTML and CSS, when used correctly together, have many advantages:

  • Accessibility - XHTML is readable by most browsers devices and assistive technologies.
  • Adherence - The strict guidelines set results in cleaner code. Pages are smaller, load faster, and render correctly in all browsers.
  • Consistency - Through the use of CSS the same style elements can be applied to every page of a site. From the first page onwards, visitors will be presented with a consistent design scheme, building their comfort level and effectively promoting your brand.
  • Flexibility – Because of the consistency of CSS, changes to font styles, colour schemes, and almost anything else is simple. You only need to change a few lines of code for it to show all over your website.
  • Maintenance – Because the layout is not linked to the content, if you choose to maintain the site yourself, you can easily update content without affecting the visual style.
  • Search Engine Friendly Code - XHTML produces pages that search engine spiders find easy to understand.
