About Daniel Eastwell

With over a decade’s experience working with internet technologies, my main skill areas are:

I’ve worked on several projects as a web design, development and Information Architecture consultant.

This has been with design and search engine marketing agencies and directly for clients such as Boots, mydeco.com, The Design Council, Navman.com, the NHS, and the UK Department of Health

I’ve also completed many end-to-end website builds, such as this e-commerce site for MostlyMaps.com: all basket and content management applications built in PHP/MySQL from scratch.

My goal is that websites I᾿ve worked on are accessible and usable – my sites enable users to get what they want from the site and enjoy the experience.

More on my approach to designing a site or application.

Accessible and usable sites mean that more users can benefit and the web pages are optimised for search engines.
