## BIO
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size= "2">Whether you need a few hours work on a small project or the most demanding and advanced website delivered to specification I have the skills to deliver.</font>
I am a skilled and experienced developer but I also speak plain English. I believe understanding my clients needs is key to a successful project and I take time and trouble to find out and explore what you need from your website. Where it is relevant I can guide you through the decisions you need to make about your project or you can hand your ideas to me and I can form them into a coherent specification, which we then develop together.
All my work is of the highest standard and is guaranteed. I give lifetime support for my work, and general support and advice to existing customers.
