Hello and welcome.
My name is Chris Clarke and I am a freelance web designer and developer. My work time is currently split between developing my own sites across a range of subject matters and maintaining websites for paying clients.
This is not necessarily intended to be a showcase of my work, time does not permit me to give this site that kind of attention at the moment. However if you are interested in seeing examples of my work, and why I think WordPress could help your business, please get in touch.
I started designing websites as something of a hobby in 1996 and started using WordPress in 2008. Over the years I worked with businesses in a variety of industries and have enjoyed every minute of each.
I was a big fan of the the Semiologic theme by Denis de Bernardy which used to offer great flexibility of design whilst maintaining the ease of use that makes WordPress so much fun to use. Sadly Denis no longer supports the Semiologic theme and whilst it remains a great theme it is now virtually unusable. More recently I’ve been using the Genesis Framework with great effect.
Moving away from Semiologic has actually been a real revelation. In fact developing my programming skills (PHP, Javascript & JQuery and the like) and keeping up with CSS3 and HTML5 has been a journey of discovery and fun.
Most of my SEO knowledge was self taught up to 2007 when I started taking things more seriously. I consider myself fortunate to have had the opportunity to travel to the US to attend seminars and continue to follow developments in this fascinating field.
