I'm a web designer based in Southampton. And before you ask, "basher" is an old school nickname that's pretty much stuck. You see, I was an aspiring rock star for many years, thrashing my drums on many a sweaty stage for numerous bands, but mainly for bushbaby (heard of us? - nope, I thought not).
Out of necessity I designed the bushbaby website which, over the years, became as much of a passion as playing in the band. I also ended up designing a number of other websites for local bands, DJs, producers, etc.
I didn't know a lot about web standards and accessibility then. However, I did use CSS as much as possible for layout, which was a good thing!
Moving forward a few years to the present I decided to learn to do things properly, paying close attention to web standards. As well as doing a bit of freelance web design, I worked for 6 months in the web development team at Skandia in Southampton, and have spent the last 6 months at Southampton-based digital agency unite form working as an HTML/CSS/.NET developer.
Please check out my portfolio page for examples of my work.
