Bio

Director and Creative Director at Wider. I specialise in bespoke WordPress theme development and created (and continue to develop) Wonderflux – the free, open source WordPress theme framework. Occasional conference speaker and likes to share.

Interests

Theme design, CSS, plugin creation

WordPress Origin Story

I began working with WordPress early 2005 after working with various other content management systems (which I choose not to mention here!). It quickly developed to be my first choice when developing client websites and I like to help out the UK (and world-wide!) WordPress community where I can.
