Web Design & Front End Development

I build websites using handcoded semantic (X)Html and CSS (W3C / WAI), improving accessibility, naming conventions and workflow wherever possible. A 'pixel-perfect' designer with advanced skills in Photoshop, I have a forensic eye for detail, always considering usability and striving to communicate the brand I'm working with.

I use JQuery, flash, sprites, and will implement CSS3, Html5 and .png where appropriate.

I always support IE6 and use conditional comments (avoiding hacks!) for separate stylesheets where necessary.

I have a working knowledge of PHP, Javascript and MySQL. I often edit developers' code and work with PhpMyadmin.
