As an independent web consultant, I specialise in affordable websites for individuals and small businesses. These can be static sites or more usually are based on an open source content management system such as CMS Made Simple, Joomla! or WordPress.
My background is as a research scientist and later a principal consultant in information engineering. Having established the original Department for Trade and Industry (DTI) Information Society Initiative web portal which provided advice on ‘putting your business online’ in 1997, I then setup and ran a successful internet solutions company in Scotland in 1999.
I was lured back into the corporate world for a while before setting up as an independent web consultant and sole trader under the name Touchline Solutions, based in Worcester, UK.
