I am a freelance web developer based in London, who creates stylish, dynamic and accessible websites. I build sites for all kinds of clients, from individuals and small companies, to large high-profile and social networking websites. I am passionate about web standards, accessibility and user experience.

I have a lot of experience in both front-end and server-side development and I build sites using Drupal 6 & 7, and Symphony CMS. I have worked as a technical lead on many projects, coordinating a team of developers.

I offer web design, development and hosting services, and use the following web development technologies:

James offered a professional service and quickly built me an excellent website which is clear and easy to navigate. He was friendly, helpful and clearly explained how to manage my website content. My clients and colleagues have been very impressed with the site and James also optimised it effectively, to get me up the google rankings.

I am an experienced Web Developer living in London. I have a practical approach to web development and enjoy hand coding HTML, CSS and XSLT. I love jQuery and AJAX but code all my sites to allow for non JavaScript enabled browsers. I write PHP using the MVC framework CodeIgniter but I also build websites using the Symphony and Drupal content management systems.
