Skills: Standards based website development using ColdFusion, CSS, POSH, MySQL and superhuman powers

I have a passion for creating beautiful, elegant, standards based websites. It's all I think about. Really.

I've been creating websites since 1996, and specialising in e-commerce since 2000.
Since going freelance in 2005, I've been working mostly with SME's - creating bespoke applications that help to manage their day-to-day activities, (accounting, customer management, invoicing etc.) as well as feature rich e-commerce systems and content management systems, each specifically tailored to the individual requirements of my clients.

When I'm not making websites I run a clothing company, RetroGT.com.
