My name is Niall King. I’m the person responsible for everything you see and interact with on a website. I've been doing this for over 20 years, mostly for creative agencies, and have risen to Head of Technology, via Front End Architect and Front End Developer jobs from junior to lead. Nowadays I run development practices and get involved in business strategy too.

I started out making websites almost as soon as there was a web. Netscape 1 was out, Internet Explorer did not exist, but NCSA Mosaic did. I started doing it for a living in 1999. Since then I’ve become rather good at it. I am obsessed with quality, and serious about semantics, accessibility, speed, small page weight, usability and efficiency. I like UX-driven human-centered design, and have great faith in the ability of good design and good technology to improve lives.

I don’t just code websites, or even manage teams of people who do. I can talk everybody’s language, and translate customer or business needs into back end and front end development tasks. I can talk with ease to designers, back end devs, front end devs, product owners, project managers, clients, CTOs, CEOs, lawyers and have enough expertise to know how to convert their concerns into a great website or web application and communicate that to everyone concerned. I can make the difference between success and failure, between profit and loss, and a good site and a great one.

I’ve made sites for car manufacturers, telcos, the government, shipping registers, record labels, clubs, bands, universities, software companies, banks, major international sporting tournaments, confectioners and the biggest football club in the world.
