WonderWeb is to Felicity Evans as Batman is to Bruce Wayne. It's my superhero alias as a fight to save the world "One webpage at a time". I'm not quite there yet!
I have a broad background in communications and online content delivery, with specific applications as a front-end developer using CSS, HTML and Javascript. I graduated from the University of New South Wales (Australia) with a Bachelor of Science Architecture and spent the final year of my studies in Edinburgh in the Masters of Design and Digital Media program.
I am really interested in web standards for accessibility, and how I can use these technologies to design clean, clear websites which are easy to use and meet the clients' highest expectations.
I want to produce websites which work for the client. Not just providing an online presence but an easier way of accomplishing existing tasks such as newsletter delivery, members databases, calendars etc. I have experience in database driven websites using PHP and Coldfusion. I am looking to improve my skills in the former, and am beginning to glimpse the powers of object-oriented programming.
Through my work with various companies I have developed a thorough understanding of how digital technologies (in particular the web) can help a company position itself within the marketplace. Many of my work has been for companies within the timber industry which has given me a better sense of the impact good web design can make on an industry scale.
