Hello, my name is Yan White. I design and develop websites.

I am a web professional based in London. I use best practices in semantic handcoded (X)Html and CSS, improving image optimization, naming conventions and workflow wherever possible. A 'pixel-perfect' designer, I have a forensic eye for detail, always considering usability and striving to communicate the brand I'm working with.
