About the CDT website

Jonathan Smith - Moseley CDT webmaster

This website is designed and created by me, Jonathan Smith. I live in Moseley and I'm an IT contractor so I do computer programming for a living, but not in the field of website building - this is just a hobby.

I code the html, css, javascript and php manually (I don't use packages like DreamWeaver), and I validate the resulting pages for adherence to standards using the World Wide Wed Consortium (W3C) validators. Not all pages pass yet, but I'm working on it.
