As a "Web Designer"

I may arrogantly refer to myself as a "web designer", but I do not claim to be a professional and I don't plan to be. Such a subject is not in my foreseeable studies or career path. Though as the site name suggests, design is indeed my passion.

Style

I am all for simplicity. That does not mean I dislike more complicated themes but I tend to create simpler designs. In fact, whether it be websites, home interior or fashion, I favour the "mature" classic style with a limited colour palette over a magnificent spectrum-full of bright colours. (Trust me on this even if the current site design happens to disprove what I just said.) Though generally, I design naturally depending on my mood or any inspirations. It's just a way of expressing myself.

Experience

I stuck my foot into this website-creating world in December 2002 and at the time, I created my web pages with Microsoft FrontPage. By May 2003 I finally got a grasp of HTML and started coding without a page builder. I commenced in the "art" of PHP and MySQL coding later from the beginning of 2004 so I have had a couple of years' experience in web design and coding.

At the moment, I consider myself to have a sufficient level of understanding in (X)HTML, CSS, PHP and MySQL for the purposes of creating and managing most web pages. My precious tools of trade are listed in the Credits.
