I’m a web developer living in Gateshead , U.K. I’ve worked for clients that range from Plc’s and national companies to many small businesses and startups focusing on developing systems that help them sell more stuff. I founded collateit back in 2005 originally as a web development company but have recently sold part of the business and now trade under my own name. Since leaving school at 16 I’ve been heavily involved in print and technology industries. Having worked in production control for several print companies and developed ERP systems for some of the most influential printers in the U.K I now use this expertise to help smaller business compete online. My style is informed by the fact that I learned by creating real websites for real businesses. I am practical in my approach, preferring what is dependable and well-implemented to what is flashy and cool. I am guided by the principles of usability and accessibility: I believe websites should work as well as look pretty. I am an advocate for utility and simplicity, however, I believe that every useful thing can also be beautiful. I’m passionate about simplifying the gobbledygook that goes with all this web stuff and love showing people like you how creative web technology can empower your business. When I’m not working you’ll find me with my wife trying to keep my two daughters Hannah and Laura amused, watching motorsport or exploring Tyne and Wear and Northumberland.
