About Page.
This site was created on a Windows XP machine at a resolution of 1280 x 1024, coded in Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 and validates according to W3C guidelines, as Transitional XHTML 1.0 for design, CSS 2.0 for styling, and ASP for user interaction. Furthermore, code has been ‘cleaned’ using the tool, Tidy 1.1.5 and tested at a variety of resolutions in Internet Explorer, Opera and Mozilla Firefox.

Key Aims:
-
Accessibility:
It is commonsensical that a designer would want his online portfolio to be viewed by as many people as possible in order to satisfy its aims, however this is not often the case.
After all, if your site is an online portfolio showcasing your talent, the users of your site may one day be paying your wage.With that in mind, a key aim was to take the issue of accessibility beyond the bare minimum of ALT Tags in images and design a user centered site that could be viewed and used to the best of everyone´s ability.

Marketing and the Internet go hand in hand, therefore it was evident that promotion of this site was crucial in order for it to be successful in reaching the target audience, employers.
Achieving this aim was made possible by extensively researching popular keywords which reflected the sites content and objectives.
Individual META, Header, and Title tags were then optimized accordingly before submitting the site to numerous search engines and online communities.
However development was not always plain sailing. The main problems faced when designing this or any site is IE's failure to interpret the CSS box model correctly, in which a few hacks and workarounds have to be implemented.
