Summary
Anthony is an experienced web designer with a particular interest in standards-compliant and high quality web sites. His sites are written in valid XHTML with CSS style sheets, and are generated with the help of PHP. While using web standards helps with cross-browser compatibility, Anthony also takes into account minor browser differences so that his sites display well in as many browsers as possible.
Anthony has designed and built successful real-world database-driven websites both for company intranet and public internet use. Using open source tools, and working to web standards, ensures that his sites do not depend on proprietory formats or development environments.
Having two dedicated servers on the internet, Anthony can provide a complete package including domain registration and website hosting, and virus and spam filtered e-mail accounts.
