About

Tom is a website editor, manager and developer with ten years experience in the business.

He started off working as an online journalist in the video games industry, where he was required to go to far-off places to play with things and occasionally write about it. Then he spent four years as a travel guides editor, when he didn't travel as much as you might think. He did continue to play a lot of games though.

He's worked in varying degrees and under titles such as web editor, content manager and content producer for UK Government organisations, as well as Camden, the European Commission and various other public bodies.

Nowadays he mainly builds websites for small to medium companies and individuals. He is passionate about what he does, but he doesn't love computers in an inappropriate way or anything. He knows a heck of a lot about front end stuff, particularly accessibility, usability, SEO and general editing and content provision for web. He can definitely help you out with all that.

He also develops sites: he says he's not a techie, but he knows a suspicious amount about things like CSS, PHP, MySQL and all that sort of stuff; so you can ask him questions about it and be pretty confident he knows what he's on about. Using this knowledge he's built sites that do pretty much anything people want to do on the web... Well, apart from that.

Tom and the people he works with really don't think that good quality web design and development should cost the earth (if you look carefully, even the logo is made of recycled tins). Ask any of them for advice, and they'll give you an answer that isn't designed to get you to spend more. You'll get and pay for what you need, no more and no less.

Tom lives and works in South West London and on the Lancashire borders up north, which is where he's from.
