About Me

Image of Harry Roberts - Front-end Developer from Yorkshire (UK)

Hi there, my name is Harry Roberts; and before you ask I most definitely am not the infamous police killer! I am however a freelance front-end developer from West Yorkshire (UK) who specialises in web standards, usability, accessibility and UX (User eXperience)/UI (User Interface).

In business, people deal with people, which is exactly why I've decided to include a more personal overview of myself, as well as my work and services.

Music

I find music a great inspiration. I think it evokes more thought than television does (I don't really watch a lot of T.V.).
I like a mixed bag of music really. A wise man once told me that:

“If you enjoy it, it’s good music. It doesn’t matter what other people think.”A Wise Man

As such, I'm not embarrased to tell you I like a bit of Elton John!
Currently, I'm listening to a lot of R.E.M., some David Bowie, a bit of The Fratellis, some Razorlight, Arctic Monkeys, a lot of Coldplay and a dash of The Streets.
Also, deep in my extensive music collection, you can find a lot of Nas - a lyrical genius, quite a bit of Jay-Z, Big L, The Killers and The Kooks. I love The Who, I've got some Mary J Blige, Kaiser Chiefs and Jaimie T. Newest additions are The Jam, The Kinks and The Rolling Stones. I also have stacks of Ricky Gervais' Podcasts, yet that's never quite enough.
I told you it was a mixed bag...

Film

As I said earlier, I don't watch a massive amount of television. I do however love a good film. And by good, I don't mean run of the mill, ten-a-penny Hollywood churn outs. I mean lesser know classics. Films that stick around, and make you think. Some of my all time favourites are Fight Club, The Crow, Full Metal Jacket and Leon - all of which were introduced to me by Shaun Hanson. All of which are worth a watch, or ten.

About My Work & CSS Wizardry

CSS Wizardry is my online portfolio, my personal space to write whatever I please (almost), and my advert to the world and is accessible to users in almost every situation/circumstance. It is built with validate CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) and xHTML (eXtensible HyperText Markup Language), and has been designed with usability in mind. After all, that is what I do.

I offer high-end front-end development services, designed to bring rich UI (User Interface)s, accessibility, usability and standards compliance to otherwise lifeless sites.
I have an expert working knowledge of web standards, semantics, usability, accessibility, validate CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) and semantic, validate xHTML (eXtensible HyperText Markup Language) among other things.

In Brief

Hi there, my name is Harry Roberts, and you're currently viewing my personal blog and portfolio CSS Wizardry.

I am a front-end developer and web standards advocate based in Yorkshire (UK). As a front-end developer I concern myself with the accessibility, usability and aesthetics of websites, and make sure that they conform to standards enforced and advised the the W3C (http://w3.org).
