With over 7 years professional experience of designing, building and maintaining websites I can offer a wealth of expertise in this area. My first placement was with a niche market magazine publisher building new, and mainting existing sites designed to push magazine subscriptions. I have a BA in Product Design and the skills learnt whilst on the degree are transferrable to web design and development. I use open source software and fully participate in the communities around them.
