About Me
Hey I’m James, a 26 year old Web Designer and WordPress Developer from Sussex, England.
My first look at the web intrigued me and I wanted to find out how pages were made and why they work the way they do. Since then, I have developed a passion for web design and have been building websites for over 10 years (yes, all the way back to tables!) and a lot has changed since I first opened up a text editor.
About 6 years ago, I discovered WordPress and building upon the same passion which led me to web design, I started tinkering with the code and discovered a wonderful Content Management System, free and open source. The introduction of themes and plugin opened up the potential of WordPress and allowed users to express their content in a number of different ways.
The majority of sites I work on now are WordPress based and I have worked with a wide variety of clients, all the way from a simple change or customisation of an existing site, creating custom themes to meet the needs of individual projects and some requiring more complex work, such as adding a forum to match the style of their site.
All my web templates / WordPress themes, plugins and random bits of code are built with accessibility in mind and use valid and semantic HTML and CSS according to the guidlines set by W3C.
Simply put, this means that they work across a range of browsers and operating systems and appear as they were meant to without the need for ‘hacks’ or additional code.*
* Exceptions apply to this, browsers which do not understand valid code or do not use a rendering engine compatible with the W3C guidlines such as Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7 and to a degree Internet Explorer 8 will not necessarily display correctly and often require additional code in order for compatible viewing, or graceful degradation. As a result, it is considered a happy coincidence if my web templates and WordPress themes work in these browsers.
