Just the one
WebHero.co.uk is (currently run by) just one person, Tim Wilson.
Designing websites has become a hobby, taking up large proportions of his spare time since 2002 (since aged 12). With working in webdesign when at work and at home - arguably, he has either never stopped working, or has never really begun! Although one thing is for sure - he enjoys what he does - and strives for perfection in anything he produces. Also, in reality, he never talks about himself in the third-person.
» Advantages with dealing with just one person, is that we can provide very competitive prices and all communication is with just one person.
This Site
This website is the third (and last) version of WebHero, in terms of the design. It is coded using only PHP, CSS, JavaScript, (AJAX) and HTML.
What coding languages do you use?
PHP, MySQL, CSS, AJAX, JavaScript, XHTML. We are continually increasing in our knowledge of PHP, and we endeavor to develop skills in and ASP(.net), Perl and Ruby on Rails, too.
What software do you often use?
Adobe Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, (occasionally Flash) and a standard text-editor.
Do you just design?
No. Although it is our main strength - our full range of services are listed above.
Does this website use 'Flash'?
No. We believe in hard-coding fancy effects! Flash is not very good for use with SEO. Neither is it for comptuers or browsers that do not allow / support the Flash Plug-In. If we are able to create the desired effects without having to use Adobe Flash, then we tend not to - unless otherwise stated.
