Factory Road

Basically i am a freelance website designer/developer.
That means i try to do a bit of everything and have a wide range of skills. Generally the leaning is towards coding and functionality, 99% of the time it is about what a website ‘does’ as opposed to how it looks. Of course that is very important but the vast majority of my working day will be coding, web building, checking servers, online services etc.

It was by no means my first line of work. I have always wanted to do something creative. I was a studio potter for over 10 years before I did this line of work. Only regret I have is that I started working with the net as soon as it became mainstream, so I never had the initial naivete of just browsing, well.. maybe for a month or two, but in many ways it was straight in at the deep end and straight into helping out a local business to design websites.
We refer to it as BF (In the context that you might say BC) ~ BF stands for ‘Before Freeserve’
(Freeserve were one of the first cheap PAYG connection deals, they broke the AOL £15 per month for just standard 56k dial-up).
