Employment

Hi, I’m Craig, a web designer with over 20 years of experience building and managing websites.

I started coding at 14 using FrontPage Express and building sites on GeoCities for friends’ bands. What began as a hobby quickly became a career. I’m largely self-taught and later earned a BA (Hons) in Digital Media Art from the University of Bath.

My first role was with the ecommerce company Active Robots, where I created HTML product pages, photographed products, produced Flash animations, and edited demonstration videos. There was also some umbrella sites using Zencart that I also maintained.

I later worked at Thermaglaze on graphic design projects including brochure design, advert design, leaflet design, signage, vehicle livery, and web design.

I currently work at ExpertAgent / Zoopla / Alto Software Group, where I build and manage over 650 estate agent websites across the UK and overseas using Joomla, developing custom templates as well as maintaining modules and plugins.

In March 2017 Expert Agent was aquired by Zoopla, which rebranded the website team as 'Zoopla Websites', our part of the business moved to Alto Software Group in Feburary 2026 and was rebranded as 'ASG Websites'.

Occasionally I will do freelance work for friends and family or if something takes my interest. This also gives me chance to build on other CMS's like Wordpress

Icon Vulture

IconVulture

Icon Vulture (2018)

IconVulture is a website I set up around 2018, as an idea to learn some WordPress and practice a few javacript and HTML5 bits and pieces. Like localStorage, DOM mutations, taking an array and being able to create a zip file to download. I was able to take the stuff I learnt from this and implement it elsehwere.

About Me

I live with my partner in Frome, Somerset. Dad of two young children who keep me on my toes. I also have a German Pointer called Mia (Moomin).

I love music. During the COVID lockdowns I taught myself how to play it and also how to produce, mix and master tracks in Logic. I play Guitar, Bass, Drums, Piano and Melodica. I love lots of different genres but my favourites are Ska, Punk, Reggae, Dub and Drum n Bass & Jungle. If I'm on my computer you will see what track I am listening to at this moment (I created that using last.fm's JSON data)

An avid gamer, if I am not spending my evenings learning something new I will be engrossed in a computer game. Favourite games include Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect and lots of indie games. I started learning to make games in Unity this year and have taught myself a bit of C# programming through this. As well as pixel art and animation.

También hablo un poco de español. aprender el idioma básico. Llevo tres años aprendiendo con Duolingo.
