About me

I live in Mona Vale on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.

I studied science at uni and spent my twenties and half my thirties working for the EPA on NSW’s coastal lakes and estuaries. A few years ago I left to work full time on Maxshmax and my nutrition and health business Get Zoned.

I’ve enjoyed creating websites as a hobby since the web emerged in the early nineties.

I’m not a classically trained designer or award winning artist or programming guru, but creating successful web sites requires a combination of technical and artistic skills – and I have enough of both to produce websites that work.

(Stuff I know about: Standards based HTML and CSS; Wordpress; JavaScript and JQuery; Graphic Design using Photoshop, Illustrator, and Fireworks; Information Architecture; Databases, Search Engine Optimisation and Keyword Research; Newsletter design and delivery; Accessibility; Flash; Writing for the web; Photography.)

As a relative newcomer to professional web design I keep my prices reasonable so you get the best value for your money.

I'll tell you if I can't do it.

And I don't like disappointing people, especially if they're paying me, so we aren’t finished until you’re completely happy with your site.
