William Law

My name is Will (short for William) Law.  I was born in England, but now live in San Francisco, California.

I have been developing websites since being a teenager in the mid 90s. I designed websies for a band and then for a bicycle company, telecommuting accross the Atlantic for the latter, whilst still in high school.  

I worked as a web designer for an e-commerce startup after graduating from high school during the dot com boom.  This helped me learn a lot, working as part of a team, management of multiple projects simultaneously and meeting deadlines, whilst in a very dynamic environment.  I was with Totalise for three years.

However, having completed a BS in Computer Science from the University of Leeds, it was my love of mathematics and problem solving that led me towards web development.  I have now developed several database driven websites from scratch using php, mysql and apache.

I am particularly interested in about web standards, usability and accessability.  I am a perfectionist and having my finished product operational accross the board is of utmost importance.

I have a passion for bicycles, both as a machine of utility and sport.  I cook and bake usually on a daily basis, knowing how food finds its way to the table is an important part of eating.  Being in the outdoors in one way or other is my stress relief.  Whether hiking through the forest, camping in the desert or riding my cyclo-cross bicycle as fast as I can around a park.
