And so it starts!
After studying for one year into a variety of web medias, it seems an ideal opportunity to start this blog.
Initially I taught myself HTML, CSS and the basics of design, PHP and Javascript. I then began volunteering for the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust 
They use the Beekeeper CMS system and provide a huge amount of services from education and conservation through to running an online shop. My role was to create pages using the CMS , add upcoming events and important information , as well as administering the online shop.
More recently I have begun contracting for Boxchilli Media. They specialise in Web Design, E-Commerce and marketing. Here I have taken on a full designer’s role and have learnt to use the Joomla content management system. We are able to design, create and host all manner of websites.
My aim over the coming years, is to grow this blog to chart my progress and to hopefully point out pitfalls and areas that are worth focussing on to anyone wishing to follow a similar path.
