About
My name is Russ, and I’m a web developer. My main focus is on what you, the visitor, sees when they visit the site. In other words, I look after the front end of websites.
I believe in developing sites to the highest web standards and balancing the the sometimes conflicting elements of design, usability, accessibility and search engine optimisation.
My skills and experience have been developed over more than a decade so I have a depth of knowledge that can bring real benefit to any website.
I understand that each stakeholder in a website project has a different focus and aims and that these stakeholders appreciate somebody who can translate the minefield of web development into plain English that allows them to make sound business decisions.
In short, I work smart to ensure your web site is gives you the best possible chance of achieving your business goals and leave you with the advice you need to build on your success.
If that sounds like something you’re looking for and you want a good communicator that can work in a development, advisory or management capacity, then please drop me a line. More detail of what I do is also shown below in the skills section and you can also find me on LinkedIn. My CV will also be available to view online shortly.
If you just want to take a look around, no problem. Check out my work, or see what I’m blogging about.
