The Bad Place
I offer a straightforward, affordable, website design service. Once a commission has been agreed, you send me any images and text you would like to appear on the site and I build those together into a finished website, which I can supply to you on CD-ROM ready for you to publish. Alternatively, I can (in partnership with the hosting company Mort inc.) put the site online myself, assist with setting up email addresses and provide a maintenance service. Whichever option you choose, your site will be visible to you online before it becomes public, and you will be able to see it develop (and give feedback) every step of the way.

Style
The best description of my design style would be "utilitarian", as I try to bear in mind usability first. As a user of the Internet, I find that I become easily frustrated with sites that use a confusing user interface, or which break the "grammar" of website navigation.
However, utilitarian doesn't need to be ugly and I strive to make each site I design both visually pleasing and stylistically appropriate. One thing I don't lose sight of, is that you're the boss; if you're not happy with any aspect of your site's design, from colours to placement, then it's your call.

Substance
It is important to me to keep website code as clean and uncluttered as possible, and to make full use of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) in the design. Your site will be tested to work with the latest versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera.
All coding is done by hand, thus guaranteeing that no code goes on the page that isn't intended.
