Cook
I'm a developer who likes to make clean, fast and accessible websites. I've just finished studying for a degree in Web Technology at the University of Lincoln, during which time I've worked on a number of projects for outside clients, as well as some experimental projects alone or for my course.

The Advocate Arms
A brochure style website developed for a local restaurant with rooms. Although almost entirely HTML and CSS, there is a small amount of PHP included on the contact page, where users can submit their email addresses and be added to a mailing list.
Designed by Richard Holland.

The Livewire
An experimental website produced with the intention of mixing together a number of social media APIs. The website allows a user to search for news content from a number of sources, and redistribute that content to their friends and followers via Facebook and Twitter.
