About Me
Hello there!
My name's Pete Williams and I'm a web application developer based in Guildford, England.
I've been making websites for around 16 years, and I rather enjoy it! What's more I like to do it well, so I work to current W3C standards and enjoy creating rich, highly-usable AJAX interfaces.
I believe it's important that we are all able to enjoy the best user experience possible so I comply with WCAG 2.0 to AA standard, and ensure all advanced functionality is progressively-enhanced so there is a functional fallback for users with lower capabilities.
