About Me

Debra Cuming

I've been involved with the web since I started my own business in 1996. Since then I have gained extensive experience in the design, development and marketing of complex high-profile websites for clients such as Barclays, Pepsi, The British Film Institute and Times Newspapers Ltd.

My key skills are:

  • Graphic design including logo design and print work using Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign
  • HTML, XHTML and CSS to W3C web standards and WAI accessibility guidelines
  • Marketing, web content and article writing
  • Open source PHP/MySQL content management, blog and ecommerce software including CMS Made Simple, Pivot, WordPress and Zen Cart
