About this site

This site is my homepage, with references out to the rest of my presence on the big bad internet. The site's not big or complicated, and it is run on as low-cost basis as possible without using any ad-supported services.

Hopefully you find this interesting or useful. If you are trying to set up something similar and need assistance, I can offer advice or paid technical consultancy, contact me for information.

My site:

▶  This website is all hand-crafted artisan HTML using VSCode. My first website (since lost into the mists of time) was entirely written in Notepad (it had frames and marquees and the 1990s were a real UX trip). So I've stuck with what I know, given there are only two pages here.
