About Me
I'm primarily interested in digital marketing. For me that involves looking at web site projects as not just creating pretty pictures but as the development of complete online businesses.
For me a website is an investment, not an expense. I take the goals of the business and the needs of the user and combine them to create websites that deliver results.
Search engine optimisation and search engine marketing forms the foundation for my projects and the monitoring of results and refinement is my ongoing strategy.
The ideal projects are where I'm given the freedom and budget to select the right resources and technologies for the job and just get down to delivering results.
Over the years I've lead and been involved with highly innovative digital projects that have required the solving technical and creative issues.
Some of my best experience was gained at World Archipelago London, an award winning New Media Age magazine top 100 agency, where I was employed as a Senior Digital Project Manager.
I also have formal qualifications in web site design and development from The London University.
I can offer a businesses of all sizes a fully rounded digital marketing consulting service.

This was a vocational course for new media professionals that covered a broad range of web skills.
Accessibility, web standards, usability and SEO were all high on the agenda and much of the content was way ahead of its time and laid the foundations for the way I approach projects today.
It also taught me to hand code HTML and make sense of PHP and server technology which has been a blessing when communicating with developers!
