Labs.
This is the place to find any jQuery plugins I'm currently working on (such as dualSlider which has become quite popular). I'll also add other bits and pieces here which people might find interesting (Such as how to skin google maps effectively).

dualSlider.
My first attempt at a jQuery plugin, it had come up in a project to build a javascript carousel, so I thought it would be useful to share with others. It's happily proved quite popular and inspired me to do more!

About.
I'm a bit of a geek and when I'm not making websites, I'm looking into how I can make even better ones (or trawling on digg). I also like packaging stuff that I've done up for other people to use on their sites. I'm also a Spurs fan, but don't hold it against me.
Can do.
Over the years I've picked up skills which allow me to contribute to site builds from start to finish.
- Clean, compliant site builds
- JavaScript development (jQuery)
- c#, php for integration
- Search engine optimisation (SEO)
- Industry standard CMS integration (Wordpress, Sitecore, Drupal)
- Excellent knowledge of Photoshop
- Experienced working with version control
- Good knowledge of the gmaps api (version 3)
