Technology and approach

I build my solutions predominantly using Open Source software. However I am able to produce Microsoft ASP.NET solutions if required.
My web solutions are designing to run in all browsers and are tested against a selection of the most popular - including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera.

It is always my intention to present web solutions in all relevant media. This includes those used by the visually impared.
I adhere to the guidelines of the W3C and related standards bodies.
