James McIntosh | Freelance Web designer
I have been working as a web designer for the past four years and have spent the last two years freelancing and carrying out contract work. My qualifications and on the job experiences have given me a sound understanding of the core web design languages. I am using my hand coding expertise to develop content management systems (CMS) and to build search engine friendly hand coded websites.
One of the biggest challenges with any web design project is building an application to meet the needs of the client and the end customer. I have worked with some excellent account managers and have learnt how crucial it is to have a good relationship with a client and an agreed vision for the project.
If I am not designing websites I can generally be found on the sea whether it be sailing, windsurfing or surfing. Apart from watersports I am enthusiastic marathon runner having completed the Paris and Amsterdam marathons last year. I keep saying never again, normally around the 20 mile mark, but no doubt I will have another crack this year.
