Hi, I’m Richard. I design and build websites.

My primary expertise is in web design, xHTML, CSS, PHP and Wordpress.
I also have experience with Flash, Javascript, AJAX frameworks, SEO, content management, web standards, and more. I have a background in both design and development, which allows me to easily work alongside developers on large scale projects.

In 2009 I completed a Diploma in Web Development at Natcoll Design Technology in Christchurch.
In 2008 I graduated  from the University of Canterbury with a Bachelor of Arts with Honours majoring in Philosophy.
In 2007 I was awarded a Bachelor of Science, also in Philosophy at the University of Canterbury.

I work full-time for Cabbage Tree Creative and am not currently looking for employment. I do sometimes do part-time freelance work; feel free to contact me if you think I might be right for your project.

When I’m not being a web geek I can be found skiing, philosophising, unicycling, and occasionally attempting to juggle.
