My name's Craig Vidler and I'm a freelance web developer and designer in Edinburgh, Scotland, with seven years' experience in design, programming and consultancy for the web. I work with other freelance developers, agencies and directly with clients large and small. I do the work I do as a lifestyle because I love it and always strive to exceed expectations.
I'm really passionate about the way the web connects people and data. I strive to do good work to that end, by using the latest technologies to allow my clients to communicate online simply and clearly with their customers (and vice versa) - and also to enable them to win and keep new customers through high-profile, well-designed, attractive, usable and accessible websites.
I've done everything from simple brochure sites for tiny businesses to large custom-built CMSes and cutting-edge Web 2.0 apps for household names. I also believe strongly that the best work is always based on web standards and best practices.
I concentrate on server-side programming but have equally good design, business and advisory skills: LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP), HTML, CSS, JavaScript/JQuery, Wordpress, Drupal, ExpressionEngine, Python, Django, Flash, ActionScript, Photoshop, Illustrator. OSX, TextMate, SSH, Subversion and Ubuntu for a basic work environment.
I do server, systems and network administration on multiple OSes. I'm a good communicator and educator, work well in teams and can do training, SEO and other business-orientated consultancy like project management and tech support.
Running a business I understand commercial opportunities and challenges - more than that, I have the experience and drive to stay organised and on top of things, communicate and get things done well and on time.
