I was asked by an editor back in October if I’d like to be included in the readers’ section.

I jumped at the chance and I’m delighted to be included in such a well respected magazine, especially as I’m a regular reader.

I was asked to write a short description (under 120 words) about Design Nudge and here is what I came up with:

Design Nudge is my own personal web design portfolio and blog. The main aim of the site was to keep everything nice and simple so readers can easily browse my portfolio and read what web services I offer. Design Nudge was born from an illustrator design I’ve been tinkering with over the last six months. I wanted to create a dark look without compromising bold typography. Design Nudge was hand-coded in XHTML and CSS using Dreamweaver. I’ve used over five individual style sheets, so updating in the future will be a swift task. Reaching a wide audience is important, so it was tested in most modern-day browsers and on some mobile devices.

Anyone can submit there personal site for review and if it meets their criteria they will almost certainly include it – so what are you waiting for?

Also, a big thanks to the following sites for including Design Nudge in their CSS showcases:

• CSS Design Yorkshire
• CSS Creme
• CSS Based
• CSS Container

My intention of this blog is to speak freely about my experiences with web technology, accessibility/usability issues and standards based HTML/CSS web design.

This is a short entry as I still have a few dusty HTML/CSS corners to clean up. Or in other words this site is currently under construction, but I can assure you there will be no ugly flashing gifs on Design Nudge.

In the meantime, feel free to browse what I can do and what I have done.
