About Me
Hi, I'm Chris and I make websites by the seaside in Brighton, UK. I've been doing this since 1998 and have a list of satisfied clients from around the UK, Europe and the world with names big, small and everything in between. Give me a complex problem to solve (and a cup of tea) and I'll come up with an elegant, scalable and extensible solution to fit your needs not only today, but for the long-term future too. I'm passionate about honest personal service, which is why I don't do sales speak or baffle people with tech talk - I explain each step of a project in as much or as little detail as my clients want, that's up to you.
I'm a full stack developer, as happy ensuring that the latest CSS3 transition has accessible cross-browser support as I am fighting against a MySQL bug marked wontfix a decade ago. I'm not just about the technology; graphic design and UX are central to my workflow and by necessity interconnected from start to finish.
I graduated with a first-class honours BA degree in Multimedia from Nottingham Trent University in 2007, plus a foundation year at University of Portsmouth studying communication design in 2004. Some of my work from this period can still be found in the Portsmouth Society's archive, documenting the architecture of the city.
I'm a fierce single-speed cyclist with the bad knees to prove it, a creative vegan chef who squanders Instagram likes in favour of diving straight in, and in spite of tinnitus, an enthusiastic live sound technician that can get an eight-piece multi-instrumentalist band on stage and sounding great without a sound check in minutes.

Testimonials
I'm delighted that I found Chris to work with on my website as he made a technical and daunting project feel simple and fun. He was really helpful in guiding the way the site should function for SEO and usability for customers, while still helping me to achieve the things I wanted to. Chris' approach is very flexible, responsive and professional and has resulted in a website which I feel extremely proud of and regularly get positive comments about. His knowledge and skills are first rate and the back end system is easy to use and update. Since the build I have recommended him to people and shall continue to do so!
If you are looking for someone who is professional, technically knowledgeable, versatile and has the ability to turn your ideas into something special then look no further. Chris is a really pleasant guy who offers excellent customer service, responding immediately when advice and assistance is required. Our site, which Chris designed from scratch, has received many compliments over the last two years.
