I've been studying web design for roughly six years now part time initially, whilst also studying spanish, social science, cognitive science and doing a full time digital media degree over the last two years. So after what seems a life time, I've got the graphic design sorted, I'm versed in the whole Adobe Suite, I code standards compliant XHTML/CSS, I did learn AS2 but then they went and changed it and, though not an expert, I've also studied SEO & analytics. I have a basic grasp of Javascript and PHP which I'm working to improve at the moment along with familarising myself with the various libraries and opensource platforms. So, with my prior experience in sales and marketing I've turned myself into a one man band of a web design agency. Well, not quite yet but only a few more years of practice to go!
