The Web Design Portfolio & Design Blog of Ben Tadiar

A showcase of my latest work, general information, and web design blog.

Ben Tadiar, Web Designer - AvatarSo, a little about me. I'm a 22 year old web designer/developer, graphic designer and UX/UI designer based in Plymouth, UK. I specialise in front-end web design using standards-compliant (X)HTML & CSS, JavaScript, and bespoke CMS development. Feel free to take a look around, get a feel for my style, and get in touch if you'd like to know more about what I do or if you'd like to discuss your requirements. Please note that I'm currently unable to take on any more web design projects as a freelancer and am no longer available for hire. I'll shortly be joining the guys at Assembly Studios, a design agency based in London/Plymouth, UK.

Colophon - About My Web Design Portfolio & Weblog

An overview of the design and development of my web design portfolio

Technologies: All graphic elements of this website were designed and optimised for the web in Adobe Photoshop CS4. Like most websites I design, it is authored in Dreamweaver CS4 using (X)HTML 1.0 Strict & CSS, and is powered by a completely bespoke content management system (CMS) developed using PHP & MySQL.

Compatibility: I designed this website to be compatible with older browsers as well as new ones, including IE6, IE7 and IE8, Firefox 3 and 3.5, Opera, Safari & Chrome.

Typography: Various typefaces and styles are used throughout the website with headers set in Georgia and body text in Helvetica/Arial. The masthead is a combination of Myriad Pro and Y2K Neophyte.
