Stuart Banks

Thanks for dropping by.

Since the beginning of the naughties, I've been working with businesses to find new and interesting ways in which to provide them with their own little piece of cyberspace.

The web has been a passion of mine for many years and I've been lucky enough to play with it for a living. I always invest 100% of my attention on any project I am working on and find great rewards in watching a site being created from the speck of an idea to the final solution. The creativity and freedom that working with the web affords me is very inspiring and I hope to continue doing it for a long time to come.

I currently live in North London and work south of the river, but I spend alot of time in and around Town, catching up with friends. Good food and wine are a weakness, as too are funny characters and pleasant conversation.

If you'd like to get in touch, drop me a line.

If you want to get in touch with me to talk about a possible job, or to quote for some work, or maybe just to say hi - please fill out and submit the form below.
