About Me

Hello there!

My name's Pete Williams and I'm a UX Designer and Web Developer based in Guildford, Surrey - and I'm now looking for a new job.

I love making easy to use websites and applications by discovering how users really think and what business really need. I've been making websites for around 15 years, so I like to think I've now got the hang of it.

I genuinely love what I do, and am committed to learning as much as I can. As such, I'm constantly reading and learning from my peers in the London UX/IA community.

This ensures I can continually offer the latest technology, practices and ideas, to put your company at the very forefront of customer experiences.

If I sound like someone you'd like to work with, please do get in touch.

Display HTML OL/UL list as comma-separated sentence with CSS

On a site I’m currently working on, it seemed best to display an OL as a list in sentence form.

<ul class=”commaList”>
<li>one</li>
<li>two</li>
<li>three</li>
<li>four</li>
</ul>

Would display as: One, two, three and four.
